        # 256-bit key (32 bytes)
        self.key = key or AESGCM.generate_key(bit_length=256)
        self.cipher = AESGCM(self.key)

    def encrypt(self, plaintext: bytes, associated_data: bytes = None) -> dict:
        """Encrypt data with AES-256-GCM"""
        nonce = os.urandom(12)  # 96-bit nonce
        ciphertext = self.cipher.encrypt(nonce, plaintext, associated_data)

        secret = pyotp.random_base32()
        totp = pyotp.TOTP(secret)

        # Generate QR code
        provisioning_uri = totp.provisioning_uri(
            name=user_id,
            issuer_name="SwarmCare"
        )

        qr = qrcode.make(provisioning_uri)

        return {
            "secret": secret,
            "qr_code": qr,
            "backup_codes": self.generate_backup_codes(8)
        }

    def verify_totp(self, user_id: str, token: str) -> bool:
        """Verify TOTP token"""
        secret = self.get_user_secret(user_id)
        totp = pyotp.TOTP(secret)

        # Allow 1 time step before/after for clock skew
        return totp.verify(token, valid_window=1)

    def generate_backup_codes(self, count: int = 8) -> list:
        """Generate single-use backup codes"""

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

class JWTManager:
    """HIPAA-compliant JWT token management"""

    def __init__(self, private_key: str, public_key: str):
        self.private_key = private_key  # RS256 private key
        self.public_key = public_key    # RS256 public key
        self.algorithm = "RS256"
        self.token_expiry = timedelta(hours=1)

        return jwt.encode(payload, self.private_key, algorithm=self.algorithm)

    def verify_token(self, token: str) -> dict:
        """Verify and decode JWT token"""
        try:
            payload = jwt.decode(
                token,
                self.public_key,
                algorithms=[self.algorithm],
                audience="swarmcare-api"
            )

            # Additional checks
            if not payload.get("mfa_verified"):
                raise ValueError("MFA required")

            return payload

        except JWTError as e:

### 4.1 Secure Session Handling

**Features:**
- ✅ Session timeout (15 minutes idle, 8 hours absolute)
- ✅ Concurrent session limits (3 max)
- ✅ Session invalidation on logout
- ✅ Automatic session cleanup
- ✅ Session activity tracking

**Implementation:**
```python
from redis import Redis
import secrets

class SessionManager:
    """HIPAA-compliant session management"""

    def __init__(self, redis_client: Redis):
        self.redis = redis_client
        self.idle_timeout = 900  # 15 minutes
        self.absolute_timeout = 28800  # 8 hours
        self.max_concurrent = 3

    def create_session(self, user_id: str, metadata: dict) -> str:
        """Create new session"""
        # Check concurrent sessions
        active_sessions = self.get_user_sessions(user_id)
        if len(active_sessions) >= self.max_concurrent:
            # Terminate oldest session
            self.terminate_session(active_sessions[0])

        # Generate secure session ID
        session_id = f"sess_{secrets.token_urlsafe(32)}"

        # Store session
        session_data = {
            "user_id": user_id,
            "created_at": datetime.utcnow().isoformat(),
            "last_activity": datetime.utcnow().isoformat(),
            "metadata": metadata
        }

        self.redis.setex(
            f"session:{session_id}",
            self.absolute_timeout,
            json.dumps(session_data)
        )

    def validate_session(self, session_id: str) -> dict:
        """Validate and refresh session"""
        session_data = self.redis.get(f"session:{session_id}")

        if not session_data:
            raise ValueError("Session expired or invalid")

        session = json.loads(session_data)

        # Check idle timeout
        last_activity = datetime.fromisoformat(session["last_activity"])
        if (datetime.utcnow() - last_activity).seconds > self.idle_timeout:
            self.terminate_session(session_id)
            raise ValueError("Session idle timeout")

        # Update last activity
        session["last_activity"] = datetime.utcnow().isoformat()
        self.redis.setex(
            f"session:{session_id}",
            self.absolute_timeout,
            json.dumps(session)
        )

        return session
```

## Component 5: PHI Protection

### 5.1 Data Masking

**Implementation:**
```python
import re

class PHIMasking:
    """PHI data masking and de-identification"""

    @staticmethod
    def mask_ssn(ssn: str) -> str:
        """Mask Social Security Number"""
        # 123-45-6789 → ***-**-6789
        return re.sub(r'\d(?=\d{4})', '*', ssn)

    @staticmethod
    def mask_phone(phone: str) -> str:
        """Mask phone number"""
        # (555) 123-4567 → (***) ***-4567
        return re.sub(r'\d(?=\d{4})', '*', phone)

    @staticmethod
    def mask_email(email: str) -> str:
        """Mask email address"""
        # john.doe@example.com → j***e@example.com
        username, domain = email.split('@')
        if len(username) <= 2:
            masked_username = '*' * len(username)
        else:
            masked_username = username[0] + '*' * (len(username) - 2) + username[-1]
        return f"{masked_username}@{domain}"

    @staticmethod
    def mask_medical_record_number(mrn: str) -> str:
        """Mask medical record number"""
        # MRN12345678 → MRN****5678
        return re.sub(r'\d(?=\d{4})', '*', mrn)
```

### 5.2 Data De-identification

**HIPAA Safe Harbor Method:**
- Remove 18 types of identifiers
- Dates → year only
- Ages > 89 → aggregate
- Geographic subdivisions smaller than state → removed
