```

### Authentication Architecture

#### JWT Token Strategy
```python
class AuthService:
    def generate_tokens(self, user_id: str) -> Tuple[str, str]:
        """Generate access and refresh token pair"""
        
    def verify_token(self, token: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Verify and decode JWT token"""
        
    def refresh_access_token(self, refresh_token: str) -> str:
        """Generate new access token from refresh token"""
```

#### User Model
```python
class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = "users"
    
    id = Column(UUID(as_uuid=True), primary_key=True)
    email = Column(String(255), unique=True, nullable=False)
    password_hash = Column(String(255), nullable=False)
    is_verified = Column(Boolean, default=False)
    created_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.utcnow)
    last_login = Column(DateTime)
    
    # Preferences
    default_model = Column(String(50), default="openai")
    summary_length = Column(String(20), default="standard")
    
    # API access
    api_keys = relationship("APIKey", back_populates="user")
    summaries = relationship("Summary", back_populates="user")
```

### WebSocket Architecture

#### Real-time Progress Updates
```typescript
interface ProgressUpdate {
  job_id: string;
  status: "validating" | "extracting" | "summarizing" | "completed" | "failed";
  progress_percentage: number;
  current_step: string;
  estimated_time_remaining?: number;
  error_message?: string;
}

class WebSocketClient {
  connect(job_id: string): Promise<void>;
  onProgress(callback: (update: ProgressUpdate) => void): void;
  disconnect(): void;
}
```

### Batch Processing Architecture

#### Job Queue System
```python
class BatchJob(Base):
    __tablename__ = "batch_jobs"
    
    id = Column(UUID(as_uuid=True), primary_key=True)
    user_id = Column(UUID(as_uuid=True), nullable=False)
    name = Column(String(255))
    
    # Job configuration
    urls = Column(JSON)  # List of YouTube URLs
    model = Column(String(50))
    options = Column(JSON)
    
    # Progress tracking
    total_videos = Column(Integer)
    completed_videos = Column(Integer, default=0)
    failed_videos = Column(Integer, default=0)
    status = Column(Enum(BatchJobStatus))
    
    # Results
    results = Column(JSON)  # Array of summary IDs
    download_url = Column(String(500))  # ZIP download link
    
    created_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.utcnow)
    completed_at = Column(DateTime)
```

## Non-Functional Requirements for Epic 3

### Security
- **Authentication**: Secure JWT implementation with refresh tokens
- **API Security**: Rate limiting and API key management
- **Data Privacy**: User data encryption and secure storage
- **Session Management**: Automatic logout and session timeouts

### Performance
- **Concurrent Users**: Support 100+ concurrent authenticated users
- **Batch Processing**: Handle 50+ videos in single batch job
- **Real-time Updates**: Sub-second WebSocket message delivery
- **API Response**: < 500ms for authenticated API calls

### Scalability
- **User Growth**: Architecture supports 10,000+ registered users
- **Batch Scaling**: Queue system handles multiple concurrent batch jobs
- **API Usage**: Rate limiting prevents abuse while enabling legitimate usage

### Reliability
- **WebSocket Resilience**: Automatic reconnection and message queuing
- **Batch Recovery**: Failed batch jobs can be resumed
- **Data Integrity**: User summaries never lost due to system failures

## Security Considerations

### Authentication Security
- Password hashing with bcrypt (minimum cost factor 12)
- JWT tokens with short expiration (15 minutes access, 7 days refresh)
- Secure session management with httpOnly cookies
- Rate limiting on authentication endpoints

### API Security
- API key authentication with scoped permissions
- Request rate limiting per API key
- Input validation and sanitization for all endpoints
- CORS configuration for allowed origins

### Data Privacy
- User data encryption at rest
- Secure password reset flows
- GDPR compliance for data export/deletion
- Audit logging for sensitive operations

## Risks and Mitigation

### Technical Risks
1. **WebSocket Scale**: Load testing and connection pooling
2. **Batch Job Memory**: Streaming processing and cleanup
3. **Database Growth**: Partitioning and archival strategies

### Security Risks
