## Description

ZAIA Security connects your site to [ZAIA](https://zaia.newtiv.com), a request-context
verification service run by NEWTIV. It does not replace WordPress accounts: for 
every sensitive action, it checks that the request really comes from your site, 
from the same device, and that the behaviour stays plausible.

**Actions checked** (your choice):

 * login (wp-login.php and WooCommerce), registration, lost password;
 * comments;
 * REST API writes from the browser (block editor, admin);
 * WooCommerce checkout.

**Passwordless sign-in for visitors** (optional): « Continue with Google » or a 
code received by email, through the ZAIA sign-in page. In Settings  ZAIA you choose
the page where it appears, the format (inside the page, in a window, or full page)
and its appearance (colour, corner radius, light or dark mode), with a preview, 
no code needed. Accounts stay in WordPress: an existing account is found by its 
verified email address, and, if you enable it and your site allows registration,
a new account is created with the Subscriber role (Customer with WooCommerce) once
ZAIA has verified the email address. Sign-in goes through wp_signon(), so other 
security plugins still apply. Visitor accounts never see the WordPress dashboard.

**What ZAIA detects**: bots and scripts, credential stuffing, replay of captured
requests, stolen sessions reused elsewhere, bursts of requests, impossible country
changes. Addresses that pile up alerts are quarantined automatically.

**Safe for your site**:

 * **observation** mode on install: everything is checked and logged in the ZAIA
   console, nothing is blocked;
 * if ZAIA does not respond, the site keeps working (configurable);
 * application passwords, WP-CLI, cron and server integrations are never affected.

The plugin is ready for translation through translate.wordpress.org.

### External services

This plugin relies on the ZAIA service (https://zaia.newtiv.com), operated by NEWTIV(
Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire). Nothing is sent until an administrator enters a ZAIA application
identifier and server key in Settings  ZAIA.

What is sent, and when:

 * **From the visitor’s browser** (only on the forms you choose to protect, and 
   on the sign-in page you enable): the ZAIA client script, bundled with the plugin,
   opens a session with https://zaia.newtiv.com/v1/handshake/ and adds ZAIA headers
   to the form. ZAIA receives the browser’s IP address, user agent, page origin 
   and, if available, screen size, time zone and language.
 * **From your server**, when a protected form is submitted: a verification request
   to https://zaia.newtiv.com/v1/verify with the session headers, the visitor’s 
   IP address and user agent. For a signed-in user, a technical identifier `wp:<
   user number>` is sent to https://zaia.newtiv.com/v1/users/grant. Passwords, content
   and order data are never sent.
 * **Passwordless sign-in** (only if enabled): the visitor uses the ZAIA sign-in
   page (https://zaia.newtiv.com/login/), shown in your page, in a window or full
   page. After sign-in, your server exchanges a one-time code at https://zaia.newtiv.
   com/v1/connect/token and receives the visitor’s identifier, email address and
   name.
 * **Configuration test** (the « Test » button in Settings  ZAIA): https://zaia.
   newtiv.com/v1/app returns the application’s settings.

The service: [Terms of use](https://zaia.newtiv.com/conditions) · [Privacy policy](https://zaia.newtiv.com/confidentialite)·
[Service status](https://zaia.newtiv.com/statut).

ZAIA offers a free plan (100,000 requests per month per application) and a custom
Enterprise plan on quote. Every feature of this plugin works with the free plan.

## Installation

 1. Create a free account on the [ZAIA console](https://zaia.newtiv.com/console/) and
    an application.
 2. In the application: **Origins** tab, add your site address (`https://your-site.
    com`); **Authentication** tab, enable **public access** (for signed-out visitors).
 3. In WordPress: **Settings  ZAIA**, paste the public identifier (`app_…`) and the
    server key (`zsk_…`), or define the key in `wp-config.php`: `define('ZAIA_SERVER_KEY','
    zsk_…');`
 4. Click **Test**: the plugin checks the key, the origin and public access.
 5. Watch the ZAIA console **Log** for a few days, then switch to **Enforce** mode.
 6. Passwordless sign-in (optional): in the ZAIA console, **Sign-in** tab, enable hosted
    sign-in, choose the methods and declare the return address shown in Settings  ZAIA.
    Then, in Settings  ZAIA, tick the visitor sign-in option and choose the page, format
    and appearance.

## FAQ

### My site is behind Cloudflare

Settings  ZAIA  Visitor IP address: choose « Behind Cloudflare ». Otherwise ZAIA
would see Cloudflare’s address instead of the visitor’s.

### Are cached pages checked?

Page views are not checked (and can stay cached): only actions are. The ZAIA proof
is added when the form is submitted.

### What happens when ZAIA asks for an extra verification?

WordPress has no built-in two-factor authentication, so you choose: let the request
through (default) or refuse it.

### Where does the sign-in appear?

On the page chosen in Settings  ZAIA (above or below its content), or wherever you
place the `[zaia_login]` shortcode. Shortcode options: `display="inline|modal|page"`,`
accent="#0a4fa3"`, `radius="8"`, `mode="light|dark|auto"`, `label`, `redirect`, `
account`, `logout="0"`. It is also offered on the WooCommerce « My account » page.
The button on wp-login.php (admin login) is off by default.

### Can I adjust a decision?

Filter `zaia_security_decision( $result, $action )`: for example to always let certain
addresses through.
