SecureNative performs user monitoring by analyzing user interactions with your application and various factors such as network, devices, locations and access patterns to stop and prevent account takeover attacks.

Install the SDK

When using Maven, add the following dependency to your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.securenative.java</groupId>
<artifactId>securenative-java</artifactId>
<version>LATEST</version>
</dependency>

When using Gradle, add the following dependency to your build.gradle file:

compile group: 'com.securenative.java', name: 'sdk-parent', version: '0.3.1', ext: 'pom'

When using SBT, add the following dependency to your build.sbt file:

libraryDependencies +="com.securenative.java"%"sdk-parent"%"0.3.1" pomOnly()

Initialize the SDK

To get your API KEY, login to your SecureNative account and go to project settings page:

Option 1: Initialize via Config file

SecureNative can automatically load your config from securenative.properties file or from the file that is specified in your SECURENATIVE_CONFIG_FILE env variable:

// Options 1: Use default config file pathtry {
SecureNativesecurenative = SecureNative.init();
} catch (SecureNativeSDKException | SecureNativeConfigExceptione) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Options 2: Use specific config file pathPathpath = Paths.get("/path/to/securenative.properties");
try {
SecureNative.init(path);
} catch (SecureNativeSDKException | SecureNativeConfigExceptione) {
System.err.printf("Could not initialize SecureNative sdk; %s%n", e);
}

Option 2: Initialize via API Key

try {
SecureNativesecurenative = SecureNative.init("YOUR_API_KEY");
} catch (SecureNativeSDKException | SecureNativeConfigExceptione) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Option 3: Initialize via ConfigurationBuilder

try {
securenative = SecureNative.init(SecureNative.configBuilder()
.withApiKey("API_KEY")
.withMaxEvents(10)
.withLogLevel("error")
.build());
} catch (SecureNativeSDKExceptione) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Getting SecureNative instance

Once initialized, sdk will create a singleton instance which you can get:

SecureNativesecurenative = null;
try {
securenative = SecureNative.getInstance();
} catch (SecureNativeSDKIllegalStateExceptione) {
System.err.printf("Could not get SecureNative instance; %s%n", e);
}

Tracking events

Once the SDK has been initialized, tracking requests sent through the SDK instance. Make sure you build event with the EventBuilder:

@RequestMapping("/track")
publicvoidtrack() {
SecureNativesecurenative = null;
try {
securenative = SecureNative.getInstance();
} catch (SecureNativeSDKIllegalStateExceptione) {
System.err.printf("Could not get SecureNative instance; %s%n", e);
}
SecureNativeContextcontext = SecureNative.contextBuilder()
.withIp("37.86.255.94")
.withClientToken("SECURENATIVE_CLIENT_TOKEN")
.withHeaders(Maps.defaultBuilder()
.put("user-agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.121 Safari/537.36")
.build())
.build();
EventOptionseventOptions = null;
try {
eventOptions = EventOptionsBuilder.builder(EventTypes.LOG_IN)
.userId("1234")
.userTraits("Your Name", "name@gmail.com", "+1234567890")
.context(context)
.properties(Maps.builder()
.put("prop1", "CUSTOM_PARAM_VALUE")
.put("prop2", true)
.put("prop3", 3)
.build())
.timestamp(newDate())
.build();
} catch (SecureNativeInvalidOptionsExceptione) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
securenative.track(eventOptions);
} catch (SecureNativeInvalidOptionsExceptione) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

You can also create request context from HttpServletRequest:

@RequestMapping("/track")
publicvoidtrack(HttpServletRequestrequest, HttpServletResponseresponse) {
SecureNativesecurenative = null;
try {
securenative = SecureNative.getInstance();
} catch (SecureNativeSDKIllegalStateExceptione) {
System.err.printf("Could not get SecureNative instance; %s%n", e);
}
SecureNativeContextcontext = securenative.fromHttpServletRequest(request).build();
EventOptionseventOptions = null;
try {
eventOptions = EventOptionsBuilder.builder(EventTypes.LOG_IN)
.userId("1234")
.userTraits("Your Name", "name@gmail.com", "+1234567890")
.context(context)
.properties(Maps.builder()
.put("prop1", "CUSTOM_PARAM_VALUE")
.put("prop2", true)
.put("prop3", 3)
.build())
.timestamp(newDate())
.build();
} catch (SecureNativeInvalidOptionsExceptione) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
securenative.track(eventOptions);
} catch (SecureNativeInvalidOptionsExceptione) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Verify events

Example

@RequestMapping("/verify")
publicvoidverify(HttpServletRequestrequest, HttpServletResponseresponse) {
SecureNativesecurenative = null;
try {
securenative = SecureNative.getInstance();
} catch (SecureNativeSDKIllegalStateExceptione) {
System.err.printf("Could not get SecureNative instance; %s%n", e);
}
SecureNativeContextcontext = securenative.fromHttpServletRequest(request).build();
EventOptionseventOptions = null;
try {
eventOptions = EventOptionsBuilder.builder(EventTypes.LOG_IN)
.userId("1234")
.userTraits("Your Name", "name@gmail.com", "+1234567890")
.context(context)
.properties(Maps.builder()
.put("prop1", "CUSTOM_PARAM_VALUE")
.put("prop2", true)
.put("prop3", 3)
.build())
.timestamp(newDate())
.build();
} catch (SecureNativeInvalidOptionsExceptione) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
VerifyResultverifyResult = null;
try {
verifyResult = securenative.verify(eventOptions);
} catch (SecureNativeInvalidOptionsExceptione) {
e.printStackTrace();
} verifyResult.getRiskLevel(); // Low, Medium, HighverifyResult.getScore(); // Risk score: 0 -1 (0 - Very Low, 1 - Very High)verifyResult.getTriggers(); // ["TOR", "New IP", "New City"]
}

Webhook signature verification

Apply our filter to verify the request is from us, example in spring:

@RequestMapping("/webhook")
publicvoidwebhookEndpoint(HttpServletRequestrequest, HttpServletResponseresponse) {
SecureNativesecurenative = null;
try {
securenative = SecureNative.getInstance();
} catch (SecureNativeSDKIllegalStateExceptione) {
System.err.printf("Could not get SecureNative instance; %s%n", e);
}
// Checks if request is verifiedBooleanisVerified = securenative.verifyRequestPayload(request);
}

Extract proxy headers from cloud providers

You can specify custom header keys to allow extraction of client ip from different providers. This example demonstrates the usage of proxy headers for ip extraction from Cloudflare.

Option 1: Using config file

SECURENATIVE_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"SECURENATIVE_PROXY_HEADERS=["CF-Connecting-IP"]

Initialize sdk as shown above.

Options 2: Using ConfigurationBuilder

try {
securenative = SecureNative.init(SecureNative.configBuilder()
.withApiKey("API_KEY")
.WithProxyHeaders(new ["CF-Connecting-IP"])
.build());
} catch (SecureNativeSDKExceptione) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Remove PII Data From Headers

By default, SecureNative SDK remove any known pii headers from the received request. We also support using custom pii headers and regex matching via configuration, for example:

Option 1: Using config file

SECURENATIVE_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"SECURENATIVE_PII_HEADERS=["apiKey"]

Initialize sdk as shown above.

Options 2: Using ConfigurationBuilder

try {
securenative = SecureNative.init(SecureNative.configBuilder()
.withApiKey("API_KEY")
.WithPiiRegexPattern("((?i)(http_auth_)(\\w+)?)")
.build());
} catch (SecureNativeSDKExceptione) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
