An enterprise security extension for Devise, trying to meet industrial standard security demands for web applications.
It is composed of 7 additional Devise modules:
:password_expirable- passwords will expire after a configured time (and will need an update). You will most likely want to use:password_expirabletogether with the:password_archivablemodule to prevent the current expired password being reused immediately as the new password.:secure_validatable- better way to validate a model (email, stronger password validation). Don't use with Devise:validatablemodule!:password_archivable- save used passwords in anold_passwordstable for history checks (don't be able to use a formerly used password):session_limitable- ensures, that there is only one session usable per account at once:expirable- expires a user account after x days of inactivity (default 90 days):security_questionable- as accessible substitution for captchas (security question with captcha fallback):paranoid_verification- admin can generate verification code that user needs to fill in otherwise he wont be able to use the application.
Configuration and database schema for each module below.
- captcha support for
sign_up,sign_in,recoverandunlock(to make automated mass creation and brute forcing of accounts harder)
Devise Security Extension works with Devise on Rails 3.2 onwards. You can add it to your Gemfile after you successfully set up Devise (see Devise documentation) with:
gem 'devise_security_extension'Run the bundle command to install it.
After you installed Devise Security Extension you need to run the generator:
rails generate devise_security_extension:installThe generator adds optional configurations to config/initializers/devise.rb. Enable
the modules you wish to use in the initializer you are ready to add Devise Security Extension modules on top of Devise modules to any of your Devise models:
devise :password_expirable, :secure_validatable, :password_archivable, :session_limitable, :expirablefor :secure_validatable you need to add
gem 'rails_email_validator'Devise.setup do |config|
# ==> Security Extension
# Configure security extension for devise
# Should the password expire (e.g 3.months)
# config.expire_password_after = 3.months
# Need 1 char of A-Z, a-z and 0-9
# config.password_regex = /(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])/
# Number of old passwords in archive
# config.password_archiving_count = 5
# Deny old password (true, false, count)
# config.deny_old_passwords = true
# captcha integration for recover form
# config.captcha_for_recover = true
# captcha integration for sign up form
# config.captcha_for_sign_up = true
# captcha integration for sign in form
# config.captcha_for_sign_in = true
# captcha integration for unlock form
# config.captcha_for_unlock = true
# security_question integration for recover form
# this automatically enables captchas (captcha_for_recover, as fallback)
# config.security_question_for_recover = false
# security_question integration for unlock form
# this automatically enables captchas (captcha_for_unlock, as fallback)
# config.security_question_for_unlock = false
# security_question integration for confirmation form
# this automatically enables captchas (captcha_for_confirmation, as fallback)
# config.security_question_for_confirmation = false
# ==> Configuration for :expirable
# Time period for account expiry from last_activity_at
# config.expire_after = 90.days
endThe captcha support depends on EasyCaptcha. See further documention there.
- Add EasyCaptcha to your
Gemfilewith
gem 'easy_captcha'- Run the initializer
rails generate easy_captcha:install- Enable captcha - see "Configuration" of Devise Security Extension above.
- Add the captcha in the generated devise views for each controller you have activated

- Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
- Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
- Fork the project
- Start a feature/bugfix branch
- Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
- Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
