title: Replay Attack Prevention
keywords: [higress, replay-protection]
description: Configuration reference for the replay attack prevention plugin
---
## Functional Description
The replay prevention plugin prevents request replay attacks by verifying the one-time random number in the request. Each request needs to carry a unique nonce value. The server will record and verify the uniqueness of this value, thus preventing requests from being maliciously replayed.
Specifically, it includes the following functions:
- **Mandatory or Optional Nonce Verification**: It can be configured to determine whether requests are required to carry a nonce value.
- **Nonce Uniqueness Verification Based on Redis**: The nonce value is stored and verified in Redis to ensure its uniqueness.
- **Configurable Nonce Validity Period**: It supports setting the validity period of the nonce, which will automatically expire after the period.
- **Nonce Format and Length Verification**: It supports verifying the format (Base64) and length of the nonce value.
- **Custom Error Response**: It supports configuring the status code and error message when a request is rejected.
- **Customizable Nonce Request Header**: The name of the request header carrying the nonce can be customized.

## Configuration Fields
| Name | Data Type | Required | Default Value | Description |
|----------------------|--------|------|-----------------|---------------------------------|
| `force_nonce` | bool | No | true | Whether requests are required to carry a nonce value. |
| `nonce_header` | string | No | `X-Higress-Nonce` | Specifies the name of the request header carrying the nonce value. |
| `nonce_ttl` | int | No | 900 | The validity period of the nonce, in seconds. |
| `nonce_min_length` | int | No | 8 | The minimum length of the nonce value. |
| `nonce_max_length` | int | No | 128 | The maximum length of the nonce value. |
| `reject_code` | int | No | 429 | The status code returned when a request is rejected. |
| `reject_msg` | string | No | `Replay Attack Detected` | The error message returned when a request is rejected. |
| `validate_base64` | bool | No | false | Whether to verify the Base64 encoding format of the nonce. |
| `redis` | Object | Yes | - | Redis-related configuration |
Description of each configuration field in `redis`
| Name | Data Type | Required | Default Value | Description|
| -------------- | -------- | ---- |---------------------| --------------------------------------- |
| `service_name` | string | Yes | - | The name of the Redis service, the complete FQDN name with the service type, such as my-redis.dns, redis.my-ns.svc.cluster.local. |
| `service_port` | int | No | 6379 | The port of the Redis service. |
| `username` | string | No | - | The username of Redis. |
| `password` | string | No | - | The password of Redis. |
| `timeout` | int | No | 1000 | The connection timeout time of Redis, in milliseconds. |
| `database` | int | No | 0 | The ID of the database to be used. For example, if it is configured as 1, it corresponds to `SELECT 1`. |
| `key_prefix` | string | No | `replay-protection` | The key prefix of Redis, used to distinguish different nonce keys. |
## Configuration Example
The following is a complete configuration example of the replay attack prevention plugin:
```yaml
force_nonce: true
nonce_header: "X-Higress-Nonce" # Specifies the name of the nonce request header
nonce_ttl: 900 # The validity period of the nonce, set to 900 seconds
nonce_min_length: 8 # The minimum length of the nonce
nonce_max_length: 128 # The maximum length of the nonce
validate_base64: true # Whether to enable Base64 format verification
reject_code: 429 # The HTTP status code returned when a request is rejected
reject_msg: "Replay Attack Detected" # The error message content returned when a request is rejected
redis:
service_name: redis.static # The name of the Redis service
service_port: 80 # The port used by the Redis service
timeout: 1000 # The timeout time of Redis operations (unit: milliseconds)
key_prefix: "replay-protection" # The key prefix in Redis
```
## Usage Instructions
### Request Header Requirements
| Request Header Name | Required | Description |
|-----------------|----------------|------------------------------------------|
| `X-Higress-Nonce` | Determined by the `force_nonce` configuration | The randomly generated nonce value carried in the request, which needs to conform to the Base64 format. |
> **Note**: The name of the request header can be customized through the `nonce_header` configuration. The default value is `X-Higress-Nonce`.
### Usage Example
```bash
# Generate nonce
nonce=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
# Send request
curl -X POST 'https://api.example.com/path' \
-H "X-Higress-Nonce: $nonce" \
-d '{"key": "value"}'
```
## Return Results
```json
{
"code": 429,
"message": "Replay Attack Detected"
}
```
## Error Response Examples
| Error Scenario | Status Code | Error Message |
|------------------------|-------|--------------------|
| Missing nonce request header | 400 | `Missing Required Header` |
| Nonce length does not meet the requirements | 400 | `Invalid Nonce` |
| Nonce format does not conform to Base64 | 400 | `Invalid Nonce` |
| Nonce has been used (replay attack) | 429 | `Replay Attack Detected` |
