# 🚀 ProxyPay - Complete Project Overview

## 🎯 **What ProxyPay Does**

ProxyPay is a **location-based transaction security system** that prevents credit card fraud by verifying the cardholder's phone location against the transaction location. Think of it as a digital "proof of presence" for payments.

### **The Problem It Solves:**

- ❌ **Card theft**: Someone steals your card and uses it elsewhere
- ❌ **Online fraud**: Card details used for purchases without your knowledge
- ❌ **Location spoofing**: Hackers faking GPS locations
- ❌ **Replay attacks**: Reusing old location data for new transactions

### **How ProxyPay Works:**

1. 📱 **Your phone** creates a unique digital identity (cryptographic keypair)
2. 🔐 **Phone registers** with ProxyPay using your card number
3. 💳 **Transaction occurs** at a POS terminal
4. 📍 **Phone proves location** with GPS + cryptographic signature
5. ✅ **Server verifies** everything and approves/denies transaction

---

## 🏗️ **Complete System Architecture**

### **1. Backend API (Flask/Python)** ✅ **COMPLETE**

```
📁 backend/api/
├── app.py # Main Flask API server
├── requirements.txt # Python dependencies
└── test_api.py # API tests
```

**Features:**

- ✅ Transaction validation endpoint
- ✅ Device registration with public keys
- ✅ Cryptographic signature verification
- ✅ Location distance calculations
- ✅ Swagger API documentation
- ✅ Mock attestation verification

**Key Endpoints:**

- `POST /api/transaction/validate` - Legacy transaction validation
- `POST /api/register-device` - Register mobile device
- `POST /api/prove-location` - Verify signed location proofs
- `GET /api/health` - Health check

### **2. POS Simulator (HTML/JS)** ✅ **COMPLETE**

```
📁 frontend/
└── transaction-simulator.html # POS terminal simulator
```

**Features:**

- ✅ Beautiful modern UI for transaction input
- ✅ Location selection (preset buttons + GPS)
- ✅ Real-time API integration
- ✅ Transaction result display
- ✅ Distance and validation details

### **3. Mobile App (React Native/Expo)** ✅ **COMPLETE**

```
📁 mobileApp/
├── app/
│ └── (tabs)/
│ └── index.tsx # Main mobile app screen
├── src/
│ └── services/
│ ├── CryptoService.ts # Cryptographic operations
│ ├── AttestationService.ts # Device verification
│ └── LocationProofService.ts # Location proof management
└── package.json # Dependencies
```

**Features:**

- ✅ Device keypair generation and secure storage
- ✅ GPS location collection with high accuracy
- ✅ Digital signature creation for location proofs
- ✅ Device attestation (mock for hackathon)
- ✅ Backend API integration
- ✅ Modern React Native UI

### **4. Geospatial Engine (Python)** ✅ **COMPLETE**

```
📁 backend/geospatial/
├── validator.py # Distance calculation logic
└── test_validator.py # Unit tests
```

**Features:**

- ✅ Haversine distance calculation
- ✅ Configurable distance thresholds
- ✅ Validation logic with detailed reasoning

---

## 🔐 **Cryptographic Security Layer**

### **What It Does:**

- 🔑 **Device Identity**: Each phone gets a unique cryptographic keypair
- ✍️ **Digital Signatures**: Location proofs are cryptographically signed
- 🛡️ **Replay Protection**: Each proof includes unique transaction nonce
- 📱 **Device Verification**: Attestation proves genuine device (not emulator)
- ⏰ **Timestamp Validation**: Prevents old proofs from being reused

### **Security Guarantees:**

- ✅ **Only your phone** can create valid location proofs
- ✅ **Each proof is unique** and can't be replayed
- ✅ **Device is verified** as genuine (not rooted/emulator)
- ✅ **Timestamps prevent** old proofs from being reused
- ✅ **Distance validation** ensures location proximity

## 🎬 **Demo Scenarios**

### **Scenario 1: Auto-Approval (Co-located)**

1. POS creates transaction at Harvard Campus
2. Mobile app detects nearby transaction
3. Generates location proof with signature
4. Backend verifies distance < 15m → **ACCEPT**
5. Transaction approved instantly

### **Scenario 2: Push Confirmation (Different Locations)**

1. POS creates transaction at Harvard Campus
2. Mobile app is 500m away (different location)
3. Backend returns **CONFIRM_REQUIRED**
4. Push notification sent to mobile app
5. User taps "Approve" → **ACCEPT**

### **Scenario 3: Fallback Authentication (Phone Missing)**

1. POS creates transaction
2. No mobile app response within 30 seconds
3. POS shows **PHONE MISSING**
4. Fallback to manual verification
5. Transaction approved with **FALLBACK_AUTH**

## 🚀 **How to Run the Complete System**

### **Step 1: Start Backend API**

```bash
cd backend/api
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```

**Backend runs on:** http://localhost:5000

### **Step 2: Open POS Simulator**

```bash
# Open in browser
open frontend/transaction-simulator.html
```

**POS Simulator:** File:///path/to/frontend/transaction-simulator.html

### **Step 3: Start Mobile App**

```bash
cd mobileApp
npm install
npx expo start
```

**Mobile App:** Scan QR code with Expo Go app

### **Step 4: Test Complete Flow**

1. **Register device** in mobile app with card token
2. **Create transaction** in POS simulator
3. **Process transaction** in mobile app
4. **View results** in both interfaces

## 📊 **Success Metrics to Track**

### **Security Metrics:**

- **False-accepts avoided**: Compare naive vs secure validation
- **Replay attacks prevented**: Count blocked duplicate nonces
- **Device verification rate**: % of valid attestations

### **Performance Metrics:**

- **Time-to-confirm**: Transaction processing speed
- **UX clicks**: User interactions per flow
- **Success rates**: ACCEPT/CONFIRM/DENY counts

### **Privacy Metrics:**

- **Data retention**: How long locations are stored
- **Data minimization**: Only necessary data collected
- **User control**: Opt-out options available
