README

Experimental PHP implementation of Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC).

Status

This package is completely experimental.

Do not treat it as production-ready security infrastructure yet. APIs, behavior, and defaults may change quickly.

Requirements

• PHP 8.4+
• firebase/php-jwt (installed automatically via Composer)

Installation

composer require edituraedu/php-dbsc

What It Provides

• EdituraEDU\\DBSC\\DBSC singleton for DBSC flow handling
• Start header emission (Secure-Session-Registration)
• Start endpoint verification (Secure-Session-Response)
• Refresh challenge/verification handling (Secure-Session-Challenge, Sec-Secure-Session-Id)
• Cookie + session guard enforcement
• Optional dependency injection for:
• IDBSCLogger
• IDBSCInvalidationHandler

Quick Start

<?php

use EdituraEDU\\DBSC\\DBSC;

DBSC::Initialize(__DIR__ . '/DBSCConfig.json');

// Emit registration header when client has no DBSC cookie yet:
if (!DBSC::GetInstance()->HasDBSCCookie()) {
    DBSC::GetInstance()->SendStartHeader();
}

Start Endpoint

<?php

use EdituraEDU\\DBSC\\DBSC;

const DBSC_START_REFRESH_FLOW = true;
DBSC::Initialize(__DIR__ . '/DBSCConfig.json');
echo json_encode(DBSC::GetInstance()->StartDBSCSession());

Refresh Endpoint

<?php

use EdituraEDU\\DBSC\\DBSC;

const DBSC_START_REFRESH_FLOW = true;
DBSC::Initialize(__DIR__ . '/DBSCConfig.json');
DBSC::GetInstance()->Refresh();

Config

The package reads JSON config via DBSCConfig::LoadFromFile(...).

Start from src/DBSCConfig.json and adjust domains, paths, cookie flags, and endpoint paths for your environment.

Optional Logger / Invalidation Handler

DBSC::Initialize(...) accepts optional custom implementations:

• IDBSCLogger for structured logging
• IDBSCInvalidationHandler for custom cleanup when DBSC invalidates a session

If no logger is passed, DBSCLogger is used by default.

Notes

• Header normalization currently tolerates both raw and quoted DBSC header values for compatibility.
• This project is under active iteration, feedback and contributions are welcome!
