## 🔬 TECHNICAL VALIDATION RESULTS
|
||||
|
||||
### Module Compilation Status
|
||||
```
|
||||
Status: ✅ PASSED
|
||||
Compiler: Erlang/OTP 25
|
||||

## 🏗️ ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW
|
||||
|
||||
### Component Interaction Flow
|
||||
```
|
||||
XMPP Client (Conversations/Dino)
|
||||
↓ XEP-0363 Upload Request
|
||||
ejabberd Server
|
||||
↓ IQ Processing
|
||||
mod_http_upload_hmac Module
|
||||
↓ Token Generation (HMAC-SHA256)
|
||||
↓ URL Construction
|
||||
HMAC File Server 3.2.2
|
||||
↓ Bearer Token Validation
|
||||
↓ File Storage
|
||||
File System (/var/lib/hmac-uploads)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Architecture
|
||||
1. **Authentication Flow**: XMPP credentials → ejabberd → HMAC token → File server
|
||||
2. **Token Security**: HMAC-SHA256 with shared secret, time-based expiry
|
||||
3. **Authorization**: Per-user quotas, file size limits, extension filtering
|
||||
4. **Data Protection**: Secure token transmission, no credential exposure
