Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Implementation Summary

📋 Overview

Successfully implemented optional Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for P256Account, allowing transactions to require both P-256 passkey signature and owner ECDSA signature for enhanced security.

Implementation Date: 2025-10-15
Commit: b98c8ca
Tests: 29/29 passing (9 new 2FA tests)
Lines Changed: +638 lines across 5 files

✅ What Was Implemented

1. Smart Contract Changes (`src/P256Account.sol`)

New Storage Variable

bool public twoFactorEnabled;  // Toggle 2FA mode

New Functions

function enableTwoFactor() external onlyOwner
function disableTwoFactor() external onlyOwner

Updated Functions

function _validateSignature(PackedUserOperation calldata userOp, bytes32 userOpHash)
    internal view returns (uint256 validationData)

Now supports both 64-byte (normal) and 129-byte (2FA) signatures
Validates P-256 signature first
If 2FA enabled, also validates owner ECDSA signature

New Helper Function

function _recoverSigner(bytes32 hash, bytes calldata signature) 
    internal pure returns (address)

Recovers signer address from ECDSA signature
Includes malleability protection (EIP-2)
Validates v ∈ {27, 28}

New Events

event TwoFactorEnabled(address indexed owner);
event TwoFactorDisabled(address indexed owner);

New Errors

error TwoFactorSignatureRequired();
error InvalidOwnerSignature();

2. Test Coverage (`test/P256Account.t.sol`)

Added 9 comprehensive tests:

test_EnableTwoFactor - Verify 2FA can be enabled
test_DisableTwoFactor - Verify 2FA can be disabled
test_EnableTwoFactorOnlyOwner - Only owner can enable
test_DisableTwoFactorOnlyOwner - Only owner can disable
test_CannotEnableTwoFactorTwice - Prevent double enable
test_CannotDisableTwoFactorWhenNotEnabled - Prevent invalid disable
test_ValidateUserOp_WithoutTwoFactor - Normal mode still works
test_ValidateUserOp_WithTwoFactor_RejectsSingleSignature - Reject 64-byte sig when 2FA enabled
test_ValidateUserOp_WithTwoFactor_AcceptsDualSignature - Accept 129-byte sig when 2FA enabled

Test Results: All 29 tests passing ✅

🔧 Technical Details

Signature Format

Normal Mode (2FA disabled):

signature = r (32 bytes) || s (32 bytes)
Total: 64 bytes

2FA Mode (2FA enabled):

signature = r (32 bytes) || s (32 bytes) || ownerSignature (65 bytes)
Total: 129 bytes

Where ownerSignature = r (32) || s (32) || v (1)

Validation Flow

if (twoFactorEnabled) {
    // Check signature length
    require(sig.length == 129, "Invalid signature length");
    
    // Extract P-256 signature
    bytes32 r = sig[0:32];
    bytes32 s = sig[32:64];
    
    // Extract owner signature
    bytes calldata ownerSig = sig[64:129];
    
    // Verify P-256 signature (passkey)
    bytes32 messageHash = sha256(abi.encodePacked(userOpHash));
    require(P256.verify(messageHash, r, s, qx, qy), "Invalid passkey");
    
    // Verify owner signature (ECDSA)
    address recovered = _recoverSigner(userOpHash, ownerSig);
    require(recovered == owner(), "Invalid owner signature");
} else {
    // Normal mode: only verify P-256 signature
    require(sig.length == 64, "Invalid signature length");
    // ... verify P-256 only
}

📊 Performance Impact

Gas Costs

Mode	Signature Size	Validation Gas	Overhead
Normal	64 bytes	~6,900 gas	-
2FA	129 bytes	~9,900 gas	+3,000 gas (~10%)

Breakdown:

P-256 verification: ~6,900 gas (EIP-7951 precompile)
ECDSA recovery (ecrecover): ~3,000 gas
Additional checks: negligible

🔒 Security Features

1. Malleability Protection

// Check s value is in lower half of curve order
if (uint256(s) > 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF5D576E7357A4501DDFE92F46681B20A0) {
    revert InvalidOwnerSignature();
}

2. Signature Validation

// Validate v parameter
if (v != 27 && v != 28) {
    revert InvalidOwnerSignature();
}

// Check recovered address is not zero
if (signer == address(0)) {
    revert InvalidOwnerSignature();
}

3. Access Control

Only owner can enable/disable 2FA
Cannot enable twice or disable when not enabled
Both signatures must be valid for 2FA mode

🎯 Use Cases

✅ When to Enable 2FA

High-value accounts: Wallets holding significant assets
Corporate accounts: Multi-stakeholder approval required
Compliance: Regulatory requirements for dual authorization
Shared devices: When passkey device might be accessible to others
Extra security: Peace of mind for critical operations

❌ When NOT to Enable 2FA

Daily transactions: Frequent small transactions
Single-user accounts: Full control of both keys
Testing/development: During development phase

🚀 How to Use

Enable 2FA

// From owner wallet
P256Account account = P256Account(accountAddress);
account.enableTwoFactor();

Disable 2FA

// From owner wallet
account.disableTwoFactor();

Check Status

bool is2FA = account.twoFactorEnabled();

Sign Transaction with 2FA

// 1. Sign with passkey (P-256)
const passkeySignature = await WebAuthn.sign(userOpHash, credential);
const { r, s } = passkeySignature;

// 2. Sign with owner wallet (ECDSA)
const ownerSignature = await ownerWallet.signMessage(userOpHash);

// 3. Combine signatures
const combinedSignature = ethers.utils.concat([
  r,  // 32 bytes
  s,  // 32 bytes
  ownerSignature  // 65 bytes
]);

// 4. Submit UserOperation
userOp.signature = combinedSignature;
await bundler.sendUserOperation(userOp);
