+# SEP-10 Stellar Authentication Implementation Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This implementation provides complete SEP-10 (Stellar Web Authentication) support for the SubStream Protocol backend, allowing users to authenticate securely using Stellar wallets without usernames, passwords, or emails.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+1. **StellarAuthService** (`services/stellarAuthService.js`)
+   - Handles SEP-10 challenge generation and verification
+   - Manages cryptographic operations with Stellar SDK
+   - Ensures compliance with SEP-10 specification
+
+2. **Stellar Authentication Middleware** (`middleware/stellarAuth.js`)
+   - JWT token generation and validation for Stellar users
+   - Session management with unique session IDs
+   - Cookie-based authentication support
+
+3. **Unified Authentication Middleware** (`middleware/unifiedAuth.js`)
+   - Supports both Ethereum and Stellar authentication
+   - Automatic token type detection and routing
+   - Backward compatibility with existing Ethereum auth
+
+4. **Authentication Routes** (`routes/stellarAuth.js`)
+   - `/auth/challenge` - Generate SEP-10 challenge
+   - `/auth/verify` - Verify signed challenge and issue JWT
+   - Additional session management endpoints
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Primary Authentication Flow
+
+#### 1. Generate Challenge
+```
+GET /auth/challenge?publicKey=<STELLAR_PUBLIC_KEY>
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "challenge": "XDR_ENCODED_CHALLENGE_TRANSACTION",
+  "nonce": "BASE64_ENCODED_NONCE",
+  "expiresAt": "2024-01-01T12:05:00.000Z"
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Verify Challenge and Authenticate
+```
+POST /auth/verify
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "publicKey": "<STELLAR_PUBLIC_KEY>",
+  "challengeXDR": "<SIGNED_CHALLENGE_XDR>"
+}
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "token": "<JWT_TOKEN>",
+  "user": {
+    "publicKey": "<normalized_public_key>",
+    "tier": "bronze",
+    "type": "stellar"
+  },
+  "expiresIn": 86400
+}
+```
+
+### Session Management
+
+#### Get Session Info
+```
+GET /auth/stellar/session
+Authorization: Bearer <JWT_TOKEN>
+```
+
+#### Logout
+```
+POST /auth/stellar/logout
+Authorization: Bearer <JWT_TOKEN>
+```
+
+#### Switch Wallet
+```
+POST /auth/stellar/switch
+Authorization: Bearer <CURRENT_JWT_TOKEN>
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "newPublicKey": "<NEW_STELLAR_PUBLIC_KEY>",
+  "challengeXDR": "<SIGNED_CHALLENGE_XDR>"
+}
+```
+
+## SEP-10 Compliance
+
+### Challenge Transaction Requirements
+
+The implementation follows SEP-10 specification exactly:
+
+1. **Transaction Structure**: Single manageData operation
+2. **Operation Name**: `<domain> auth` format
+3. **Source Account**: Client's Stellar public key
+4. **Nonce**: Cryptographically secure random value
+5. **Timebounds**: 5-minute validity window
+6. **Network**: Configurable (testnet/mainnet)
+
+### Security Features
+
+- **Cryptographic Verification**: Validates wallet signature against original challenge
+- **Nonce Reuse Prevention**: Each challenge can only be used once
+- **Time-based Expiration**: Challenges expire after 5 minutes
+- **Account Status Verification**: Checks for active, non-merged accounts
+- **Session Management**: Unique session IDs with activity tracking
+
+## JWT Token Structure
+
+### Token Claims
+```json
+{
+  "publicKey": "<normalized_stellar_public_key>",
+  "tier": "bronze|silver|gold",
+  "type": "stellar",
+  "iat": 1234567890,
+  "sessionId": "<unique_session_id>"
+}
+```
+
+### Security Features
+- **Short-lived**: 24-hour expiration
+- **Session Binding**: Tied to specific session ID
+- **Type Identification**: Clear token type for middleware routing
+- **Revocation Support**: Sessions can be invalidated
+
+## Integration Examples
+
+### Frontend Integration (JavaScript)
+
+```javascript
+// 1. Generate challenge
+const response = await fetch('/auth/challenge?publicKey=GABC...');
+const { challenge } = await response.json();
+
+// 2. Sign challenge with wallet (e.g., Freighter)
+const signedChallenge = await freighter.signTransaction(challenge);
+
+// 3. Verify and get token
+const authResponse = await fetch('/auth/verify', {
+  method: 'POST',
+  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+  body: JSON.stringify({
+    publicKey: 'GABC...',
+    challengeXDR: signedChallenge
+  })
+});
+
+const { token } = await authResponse.json();
+localStorage.setItem('authToken', token);
+```
+
+### Protected API Access
+
+```javascript
+// Access protected endpoint
+const response = await fetch('/content/my-videos', {
+  headers: {
+    'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
+  }
+});
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Stellar Network Configuration
+STELLAR_NETWORK_PASSPHRASE="Test SDF Network ; September 2015"
+STELLAR_HORIZON_URL="https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org"
+
+# Authentication
+JWT_SECRET="your-secure-secret-key"
+DOMAIN="substream-protocol.com"
+
+# Test Credentials (for integration testing)
+STELLAR_TEST_PUBLIC_KEY="GABC..."
+STELLAR_TEST_SECRET="SABC..."
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Challenge generation and validation
+- JWT token creation and verification
+- Middleware authentication logic
+- SEP-10 specification compliance
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Full authentication flow with testnet accounts
+- Protected endpoint access
+- Session management
+- Wallet switching functionality
+
+### Running Tests
+```bash
+# Run all authentication tests
+npm test -- stellarAuth.test.js
+
+# Run SEP-10 compliance tests
+npm test -- sep10Compliance.test.js
+
+# Run integration tests (requires testnet credentials)
+STELLAR_TEST_PUBLIC_KEY=GABC... STELLAR_TEST_SECRET=SABC... npm test
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Production Deployment
+
+1. **HTTPS Required**: All authentication endpoints must use HTTPS
+2. **Secure JWT Secret**: Use strong, randomly generated secrets
+3. **Rate Limiting**: Implement rate limiting on auth endpoints
+4. **CORS Configuration**: Properly configure cross-origin requests
+5. **Session Storage**: Use Redis for production session management
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Token Refresh**: Implement token refresh mechanism
+2. **Session Cleanup**: Regular cleanup of expired sessions
+3. **Audit Logging**: Log authentication events for security
+4. **Error Handling**: Generic error messages to prevent information leakage
+5. **Input Validation**: Strict validation of all inputs
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### From Ethereum Authentication
+
+1. **Update Frontend**: Replace SIWE flow with SEP-10 flow
+2. **Update API Calls**: Use new `/auth/challenge` and `/auth/verify` endpoints
+3. **Token Handling**: Existing middleware supports both token types
+4. **User Identification**: Use `getUserId()` helper for unified access
+
+### Backward Compatibility
+
+- Existing Ethereum tokens continue to work
+- Unified middleware automatically detects token type
+- No breaking changes to existing protected routes
+- Gradual migration possible
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Invalid Challenge XDR**
+   - Check network passphrase configuration
+   - Verify challenge hasn't expired
+   - Ensure proper XDR encoding
+
+2. **Signature Verification Failed**
+   - Verify wallet signed the correct transaction
+   - Check public key format and validity
+   - Ensure transaction wasn't modified
+
+3. **JWT Token Issues**
+   - Verify JWT secret consistency
+   - Check token expiration
+   - Validate session ID exists
+
+4. **Account Status Errors**
+   - Ensure account exists on network
+   - Check account isn't merged
+   - Verify network connectivity
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Enable debug logging:
+```bash
+DEBUG=stellar:* npm run dev
+```
+
