+# PureNotify Backend
+
+This is the backend service for the PureNotify application, written in Rust. It's built to be a high-performance, reliable, and scalable foundation for sending notifications.
+
+## 🚀 Features
+
+- **Asynchronous:** Built with `tokio` and `axum` for non-blocking I/O and high concurrency.
+- **Configurable:** Easily configure the application using environment variables.
+- **Logging:** Integrated structured logging with `tracing` for better observability.
+- **Graceful Shutdown:** Ensures the server shuts down cleanly without dropping active connections.
+- **Health Check:** A dedicated endpoint to monitor the service's health.
+
+## 🛠️ Technologies Used
+
+- **[Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/)**: The core programming language.
+- **[Axum](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum)**: A web application framework that focuses on ergonomics and modularity.
+- **[Tokio](https://tokio.rs/)**: An asynchronous runtime for the Rust programming language.
+- **[Serde](https://serde.rs/)**: A framework for serializing and deserializing Rust data structures efficiently.
+- **[Dotenvy](https://github.com/dotenv-rs/dotenv)**: For loading environment variables from a `.env` file.
+- **[Tracing](https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing)**: A framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect structured, event-based diagnostic information.
+
+## ⚙️ Getting Started
+
+Follow these instructions to get a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+You need to have the Rust toolchain installed on your system. If you don't have it, you can install it from [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs/).
+
+```sh
+curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
+```
+
+### Installation & Running
+
+1.  **Clone the repository:**
+
+    ```sh
+    git clone https://github.com/your-username/purenotify_backend.git
+    cd purenotify_backend
+    ```
+
+2.  **Create a `.env` file:**
+    Copy the example environment file to create your own local configuration.
+
+    ```sh
+    cp .env.example .env
+    ```
+
+    You can modify the `.env` file to change the server's configuration.
+
+3.  **Build the project:**
+
+    ```sh
+    cargo build
+    ```
+
+4.  **Run the application database with Docker (Recommended):**
+    If you have Docker installed
+
+5.  **Run the application (Manual with Docker):**
+    First, start the MongoDB container:
+
+    ```sh
+    docker run \
+      --name mongodb \
+      -p 27017:27017 \
+      -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=admin \
+      -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=password123 \
+      -e MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE=purenotify \
+      -v mongodb_data:/data/db \
+      mongo:latest
+    ```
+
+    (Note: The `purenotify` database name here should match `DATABASE_NAME` in your `.env` or `config.rs` for the backend to connect correctly. The `MONGODB_URI` for the backend would be `mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017` or `mongodb://localhost:27017`.)
+
+    Then, run the Rust application:
+    For development, you can run the project directly with `cargo run`:
+
+    ```sh
+    cargo run
+    ```
+
+    For a release build, run:
+
+    ```sh
+    cargo run --release
+    ```
+
+The server will start, and you should see log output in your terminal indicating that it's running.
+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+The application is configured using environment variables. These can be set in a `.env` file in the project root or directly in your shell.
+
+- `BIND_ADDRESS`: The IP address and port the server should listen on.
+  - **Default:** `127.0.0.1:3000`
+- `RUST_LOG`: Controls the log level for the application.
+  - **Example:** `RUST_LOG=info,purenotify_backend=debug` will set the default log level to `info` and the log level for this crate to `debug`.
+  - **Default:** Reads from the environment; if not set, logging may be minimal.
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+Here are the available API endpoints for the service.
+
+### Health Check
+
+- **Endpoint:** `/health`
+- **Method:** `GET`
+- **Description:** Used to verify that the service is running and healthy.
+- **Success Response:**
+  - **Code:** `200 OK`
+  - **Content:** `{
+  "message": "health check successful",
+  "data": {},
+  "success": true,
+  "error": false
+}`
+
+#### Example Usage
+
+You can use `curl` to check the health of the service:
+
+```sh
+curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/health
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "message": "health check successful",
+  "data": {},
+  "success": true,
+  "error": false
+}
+```
+
+## 📂 Project Structure
+
+The project follows a standard Rust project layout. The main application logic is located in the `src/` directory.
+
+```
+src/
+├── main.rs          # Application entry point, server setup
+├── config.rs        # Configuration management
+├── handlers/        # Business logic for handling requests
+│   └── health/
+│       └── health.rs
+├── routes/          # API route definitions
+│   └── health/
+│       └── health.rs
+└── utils/           # Utility functions and shared modules
+```
+
+- `main.rs`: Initializes the server, logging, configuration, and wires up the routes.
+- `config.rs`: Defines the `Config` struct and handles loading configuration from the environment.
+- `handlers/`: Contains the core logic for each API endpoint. Each handler is responsible for processing a request and returning a response.
+- `routes/`: Defines the Axum `Router` for different parts of the application. These modules map URL paths to their corresponding handlers.
+- `utils/`: A place for helper functions or modules that are used across different parts of the application.

+
+### Overview
+
+The `CryptoUtils` module provides a set of static methods to perform common cryptographic tasks. It is designed to be a centralized utility for handling both symmetric (AES-256-CBC) and asymmetric (RSA-4096) cryptography.
+
+### Dependencies
+
+This module requires the following dependencies to be added to your `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+openssl = "0.10"
+sha2 = "0.10"
+hex = "0.4"
+once_cell = "1.19" # For lazy static initialization
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+The module defines a custom `CryptoError` enum to handle various failure scenarios, providing clear and specific error information.
+
+- `OpenSsl`: Wraps errors from the `openssl` crate.
+- `Io`: For file system I/O errors (e.g., reading/writing keys).
+- `Hex`: For errors during hex encoding/decoding.
+- `Utf8`: For errors converting byte slices to UTF-8 strings.
+- `Custom`: For other specific, custom error messages.
+
+### Core Structures
+
+#### `KeyPair`
+
+A public struct that holds a pair of RSA keys.
+
+- `private_key: String`: The PEM-encoded private key.
+- `public_key: String`: The PEM-encoded public key.
+
+### Static Properties
+
+#### `KEY`
+
+A statically initialized 32-byte array used as the secret key for AES-256-CBC encryption and decryption. It is derived by applying SHA-256 to a hardcoded salt phrase, ensuring a consistent key across the application.
+
+#### `IV`
+
+A 16-byte initialization vector used for the AES-256-CBC algorithm.
+
+### API Functions
+
+All functions are implemented as static methods on the `CryptoUtils` struct.
+
+#### Symmetric Encryption
+
+##### `encrypt`
+
+`pub fn encrypt(secret: &str) -> Result<String, CryptoError>`
+
+Encrypts a string slice using AES-256-CBC.
+
+- **Parameters**:
+  - `secret`: The plaintext string to encrypt.
+- **Returns**: A `Result` containing the hex-encoded ciphertext string or a `CryptoError`.
+
+##### `decrypt`
+
+`pub fn decrypt(encrypted_secret: &str) -> Result<String, CryptoError>`
+
+Decrypts a hex-encoded ciphertext string using AES-256-CBC.
+
+- **Parameters**:
+  - `encrypted_secret`: The hex-encoded ciphertext.
+- **Returns**: A `Result` containing the decrypted plaintext string or a `CryptoError`.
+
+#### Asymmetric Key Management
+
+##### `generate_key_pair`
+
+`pub fn generate_key_pair() -> Result<KeyPair, CryptoError>`
+
+Generates a new 4096-bit RSA key pair.
+
+- **Returns**: A `Result` containing a `KeyPair` struct with the new PEM-encoded keys or a `CryptoError`.
+
+##### `save_keys_to_files`
+
+`pub fn save_keys_to_files(keys: &KeyPair, directory: &Path) -> Result<(), CryptoError>`
+
+Saves a `KeyPair` to the specified directory in two files: `private.pem` and `public.pem`.
+
+- **Parameters**:
+  - `keys`: A reference to the `KeyPair` to save.
+  - `directory`: The path to the directory where the keys will be saved.
+
+##### `load_keys_from_files`
+
+`pub fn load_keys_from_files(directory: &Path) -> Result<KeyPair, CryptoError>`
+
+Loads an RSA key pair from `private.pem` and `public.pem` files in a given directory.
+
+- **Parameters**:
+  - `directory`: The path to the directory containing the key files.
+- **Returns**: A `Result` containing the loaded `KeyPair` or a `CryptoError`.
+
+##### `init_keys`
+
+`pub fn init_keys() -> Result<KeyPair, CryptoError>`
+
+A convenience function that initializes the RSA key pair for the application. It first checks if the keys exist in the default `./keys` directory.
+
+- If the keys exist, it loads them.
+- If they do not exist, it generates a new pair and saves them to the `./keys` directory.
+- **Returns**: A `Result` containing the initialized `KeyPair` or a `CryptoError`.

+### Usage Examples
+
+#### Example 1: AES Encryption and Decryption
+
+```rust
+use your_project::utils::crypto::crypto::CryptoUtils;
+
+fn main() {
+    let secret_message = "This is a highly confidential message.";
+
+    // Encrypt the message
+    match CryptoUtils::encrypt(secret_message) {
+        Ok(encrypted) => {

+    }
+
+    println!("Attempting to initialize keys...");

+# JWT Utility Module Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+The `JWTUtils` module provides a comprehensive suite of tools for creating, signing, verifying, and managing JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) in Rust. It is designed to work seamlessly with the `CryptoUtils` module for RSA key management. This implementation handles JWTs manually using the `openssl` crate for cryptographic operations, avoiding external JWT-specific libraries.
+
+The module supports standard claims like `exp` (expiration time), `iat` (issued at), and `iss` (issuer), and allows for custom payloads.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+To use this module, ensure the following dependencies are included in your `Cargo.toml` file:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+openssl = "0.10"
+serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
+serde_json = "1.0"
+chrono = "0.4"
+base64 = "0.21"
+```
+
+## Core Components
+
+### `JWTError` Enum
+
+A custom error type that consolidates all potential failures within the module, including issues from `openssl`, `serde_json`, `base64`, and invalid token logic.
+
+- `OpenSsl(openssl::error::ErrorStack)`: An error from the OpenSSL library.
+- `SerdeJson(serde_json::Error)`: An error during JSON serialization or deserialization.
+- `Base64(base64::DecodeError)`: An error during Base64 decoding.
+- `Crypto(String)`: An error related to cryptographic key loading from `CryptoUtils`.
+- `InvalidTokenFormat(String)`: The token string is malformed (e.g., wrong number of segments).
+- `Validation(String)`: The token failed a validation check (e.g., signature invalid, expired).
+- `Custom(String)`: A generic error for other specific issues.
+
+### `JWTOptions` Struct
+
+Defines the configurable options for creating a JWT.
+
+- `algorithm: String`: The signing algorithm (defaults to `"RS256"`).
+- `expires_in: i64`: The token's lifetime in seconds. Defaults to `3600` (1 hour) or the value of the `JWT_EXPIRES_IN` environment variable.
+- `issuer: String`: The issuer of the token. Defaults to an empty string or the value of the `JWT_ISSUER` environment variable.
+
+### `JWTUtils` Struct
+
+The main struct for handling JWT operations. An instance of `JWTUtils` is typically created to generate a new token.
+
+- `payload: Value`: The custom payload for the JWT, represented as a `serde_json::Value`.
+- `private_key: String`: The PEM-encoded RSA private key for signing.
+- `public_key: String`: The PEM-encoded RSA public key for verification.
+- `options: JWTOptions`: The configuration options for the token.
+
+## Instantiation
+
+### `new(payload: Value, private_key: Option<String>, public_key: Option<String>, options: Option<JWTOptions>) -> Result<Self, JWTError>`
+
+Creates a new `JWTUtils` instance.
+
+- **payload**: The custom data to include in the token.
+- **private_key / public_key**: Optional RSA keys. If not provided, the constructor will attempt to load them from the default `keys/` directory using `CryptoUtils::load_keys_from_files()`.
+- **options**: Optional `JWTOptions`. If not provided, default values will be used.
+
+## Instance Methods
+
+### `create_token(&self) -> Result<String, JWTError>`
+
+Generates and signs a complete JWT string. The process involves:
+
+1.  Creating the JWT header (`{"alg": "RS256", "typ": "JWT"}`).
+2.  Processing the payload by adding standard claims (`iat`, `exp`, `iss`).
+3.  Base64URL-encoding the header and payload.
+4.  Creating a signature by signing the encoded header and payload with the RSA private key.
+5.  Combining the three parts into the final `header.payload.signature` format.
+
+### `verify(&self, token: &str) -> bool`
+
+Verifies the signature of a given JWT using the public key stored in the `JWTUtils` instance.
+
+- **Returns**: `true` if the signature is valid, `false` otherwise.
+- **Note**: This method **only** checks the signature. It does not validate the expiration time or other claims. For comprehensive validation, use `decode_and_verify`.
+
+## Static Methods
+
+### `decode(token: &str) -> Result<(Value, Value), JWTError>`
+
+Decodes a JWT string into its header and payload components without verifying the signature.
+
+- **Returns**: A tuple `(header, payload)` where both elements are of type `serde_json::Value`.
+- **Use Case**: Useful for inspecting token data when the signature's validity is not a concern (e.g., for logging or preliminary checks).
+
+### `is_expired(token: &str) -> bool`
+
+Checks if a token has expired. It decodes the token and compares the `exp` claim to the current UTC time.
+
+- **Returns**: `true` if the token is expired, has no `exp` claim, or is malformed. `false` otherwise.
+
+### `decode_and_verify(token: &str) -> Result<(Value, Value), JWTError>`
+
+A comprehensive function that performs all necessary validations on a token:
+
+1.  Verifies the token's signature using the public key loaded from the default `keys/` directory.
+2.  Checks if the token has expired.
+3.  If both checks pass, it decodes and returns the header and payload.
+
+- **Returns**: `Ok((header, payload))` on success, or a `JWTError` if validation fails for any reason.
+
+### `refresh_token(old_token: &str) -> Result<String, JWTError>`
+
+Generates a new token based on the payload of an old token. The `iat` and `exp` claims are stripped from the original payload and replaced with new ones.
+
+- **Note**: This function loads the RSA keys from the `keys/` directory to sign the new token.
+
+### `validate_claims(token: &str, required_claims: &[&str]) -> bool`
+
+Checks for the presence of specific keys in the token's payload.
+
+- **required_claims**: A slice of strings representing the keys that must be present.
+- **Returns**: `true` if all required claims exist, `false` otherwise.
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Example 1: Creating a JWT
+
+```rust
+use serde_json::json;
+use your_project::utils::jwt::JWTUtils;
+
+fn create_new_token() {
+    // The custom data for the token
+    let payload = json!({
+        "user_id": "12345",
+        "roles": ["admin", "user"]
+    });
+
+    // Keys can be provided directly or loaded automatically from the 'keys/' directory
+    // If None, the constructor will try to load them from files.
+    let jwt_instance = JWTUtils::new(payload, None, None, None).unwrap();
+
+    match jwt_instance.create_token() {
+        Ok(token) => println!("Generated Token: {}", token),
+        Err(e) => eprintln!("Error creating token: {}", e),
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Verifying and Decoding a JWT
+
+```rust
+use your_project::utils::jwt::JWTUtils;
+
+fn validate_and_read_token(token: &str) {
+    match JWTUtils::decode_and_verify(token) {
+        Ok((header, payload)) => {
+            println!("Token is valid!");
+            println!("Header: {:?}", header);
+            println!("Payload: {:?}", payload);
+        },
+        Err(e) => {
+            eprintln!("Token validation failed: {}", e);
+        }
+    }
+
+    // You can also check for specific claims
+    if JWTUtils::validate_claims(token, &["user_id", "roles"]) {
+        println!("All required claims are present.");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Example 3: Refreshing a Token
+
+```rust
+use your_project::utils::jwt::JWTUtils;
+
+fn refresh_existing_token(old_token: &str) {
+    match JWTUtils::refresh_token(old_token) {
+        Ok(new_token) => {
+            println!("Token refreshed successfully!");
+            println!("New Token: {}", new_token);
+        },
+        Err(e) => {
+            eprintln!("Failed to refresh token: {}", e);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
