Title:
Enhancement: Implement One-Time URL for Secure Quiz Access
Description:
To enhance the security and user experience of our quiz application, we propose the implementation of a one-time URL system for accessing the quiz page. This feature will generate unique, single-use URLs that ensure only authorized users can access the quiz and prevent any unauthorized or repeat access.
Feature Details:
Generate One-Time URL:
Create a function to generate a unique token.
Append this token to the quiz URL.
Store the token with associated user data and expiration time in the database.
Allow so it does not generator the one time url during development.
Send URL to User:
Implement a mechanism to send the one-time URL to the user's registered email address.
Validate URL on Access:
On quiz page access, check the token in the URL.
Verify if the token exists in the database, is associated with the correct user, and is not expired or already used.
Invalidate URL after Use:
Mark the token as used or remove it from the database after the quiz is accessed.
Expiration Handling:
Set a configurable expiration time for the one-time URL.
Provide appropriate feedback to users attempting to use an expired or invalid URL.
Benefits:
Security: Prevents unauthorized access and replay attacks.
User Experience: Simplifies secure access to quizzes.
Control: Allows precise control over who accesses the quiz and when.
Tasks:
Backend:
[ ] Create an endpoint to generate one-time URLs.
[ ] Store tokens with expiration times in the database.
[ ] Validate tokens on quiz access.
Frontend:
[ ] Update the quiz page to accept and process one-time URLs.
[ ] Provide user feedback for invalid or expired URLs.
[ ] Forward invalid or expired URLS to an error page.
Email Integration:
[ ] Implement email sending functionality to distribute the one-time URL.
Testing:
[ ] Write unit and integration tests for URL generation, validation, and expiration handling.
Implementing a one-time URL system will significantly improve the security and functionality of our quiz application. This enhancement aligns with our commitment to providing a secure and seamless user experience.
