GenosDB Features

[estebanrfp]

1. Storage and Synchronization:

• Uses OPFS (Origin Private File System) for local storage
• Real-time P2P synchronization using Trystero
• Offline support with automatic sync when back online

2. Data Structure:

• Graph-oriented database implementation
• Nodes with unique IDs storing values and edges
• Inverted index Module for efficient value-based search

3. Main Functionalities:

• CRUD operations (put, get, remove)
• Node linking (link)
• Value search (find)
• Node iteration (map)
• Complete graph cleanup (clear)

4. Advanced Features:

• Automatic conflict resolution with timestamp-based detection
• Unique hash generation for node identification
• Cross-tab communication using BroadcastChannel
• Web Worker for non-blocking I/O operations

5. Security and Scalability:

• Optional password protection for P2P room
• Network state change detection
• Peer connection/disconnection handling

6. Optimizations:

• MessagePack serialization with Pako compression
• Parallel loading and saving of data
• Custom event listeners for real-time updates

RBAC Module (Role-Based Access Control):

1. Role System:

• Predefined role hierarchy: superadmin, admin, manager, user, guest
• Customizable role configuration
• Role inheritance for flexible permission management

2. Authentication:

• WebAuthn integration for secure authentication
• Digital signature verification for login
• Active connection validation

3. Role Management:

• Role assignment with optional expiration
• Secure role storage in underlying graph
• Role status and validity verification

4. Access Control:

• Permission verification before operation execution
• Protection against infinite loops in role hierarchy
• Safe execution of actions with prior verification

5. Protected Operations:

• Role assignment (assignRole)
• Data deletion (delete)
• Content publishing (publish)
• Data writing (write)
• Data reading (read)

This RBAC system adds a robust layer of security and access control to GenosDB, enabling granular permission management and WebAuthn authentication, a web standard that enables users to authenticate on websites using methods more secure than traditional passwords—such as biometric data (fingerprints, facial recognition) or physical security keys.

Technical Implementation Details:

1. Data Handling:

• MessagePack serialization/deserialization
• Compression using Pako library
• SHA-256 hash generation for unique IDs

2. Synchronization:

• P2P synchronization using Trystero
• OPFS storage integration
• Conflict resolution mechanism
• Real-time change propagation

3. Performance Optimization:

• Web Worker for background processing
• Parallel data operations
• Efficient data compression
• Event-driven architecture

4. Error Handling and Validation:

• Comprehensive error checking
• Data integrity validation
• Proper resource disposal
• Robust exception handling

5. Development Considerations:

• Modular code structure
• Clear separation of concerns
• Extensible architecture
• Maintains backward compatibility

This implementation demonstrates a well-structured, feature-rich graph database solution with modern web technologies and security considerations.
