From 756c325223ef744b476ade565cb1970c7717d053 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bndw Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2026 08:39:37 -0800 Subject: feat: implement NIP-98 HTTP auth for gRPC Add comprehensive NIP-98 authentication support following the standard gRPC credentials.PerRPCCredentials pattern. Client-side: - NostrCredentials implements PerRPCCredentials interface - Automatically signs each request with kind 27235 event - Drop-in replacement for OAuth2/JWT in gRPC clients Server-side: - Unary and stream interceptors for validation - Extracts and validates NIP-98 events from Authorization headers - Configurable options (timestamp window, whitelists, skip methods) - Adds authenticated pubkey to request context Security features: - Replay protection via timestamp validation - Optional payload hash verification - Signature verification using schnorr - TLS requirement option Includes comprehensive test coverage and detailed README with usage examples and security considerations. --- internal/auth/interceptor.go | 215 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 215
