+## Key Features
+
+### 1. Automatic Protection
+- Integrated into `auth` middleware by default
+- Zero configuration required for basic protection
+- Critical anomalies (risk score ≥ 75) automatically force re-authentication
+
+### 2. Flexible Risk-Based Actions
+| Risk Score | Action | Description |
+|------------|--------|-------------|
+| 0-24 | ALLOW | Normal operation |
+| 25-49 | WARN | Log warning, allow access |
+| 50-74 | REQUIRE_2FA | Request 2FA verification |
+| 75+ | FORCE_REAUTH | Revoke session, require login |
+
+### 3. Multiple Operation Modes
+
+**Standard Mode (Default):**
+```javascript
+router.get('/api/data', auth, handler);
+```
+- Automatic anomaly detection
+- Risk-based enforcement
+- Graceful degradation
+
+**Strict Mode (High Security):**
+```javascript
+router.post('/api/transfer', auth, strictSessionAnomaly, handler);
+```
+- Zero-tolerance for anomalies
+- Any anomaly forces re-authentication
+- Recommended for sensitive operations
+
+**Custom Mode:**
+```javascript
+router.post('/api/action', auth, (req, res) => {
+  const { riskScore, anomalyType } = req.sessionAnomaly;
+  // Custom logic based on your requirements
+});
+```
+
+### 4. Comprehensive Logging
+- All anomalies logged to `SecurityEvent` collection
+- Audit trail in `AuditLog` collection
+- Real-time monitoring support
+- Statistics API for dashboards
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Default Configuration
+```javascript
+{
+  strictUserAgentMatching: false,  // Allow minor version changes
+  allowIPChange: false,            // Block IP changes
+  maxGeoDistanceThreshold: 500,    // km
+  impossibleTravelThreshold: 60,   // minutes
+  riskScoreThresholds: {
+    low: 25,
+    medium: 50,
+    high: 75,
+    critical: 90
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Mobile-Friendly Configuration
+For applications with mobile users:
+```javascript
+{
+  allowIPChange: true,  // Allow IP changes (reduces risk to 15 points)
+  strictUserAgentMatching: false
+}
+```
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Get Anomaly Statistics
+```
+GET /api/security/anomaly-stats
+GET /api/security/anomaly-stats/:userId
+GET /api/security/session-info
+```
+
+## Client-Side Integration
+
+### Handle Session Revocation
+```javascript
+fetch('/api/endpoint', {
+  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` }
+})
+.then(response => {
+  if (response.status === 401) {
+    return response.json().then(data => {
+      if (data.code === 'SESSION_ANOMALY_DETECTED') {
+        alert('Security alert: Please login again.');
+        redirectToLogin();
+      }
+    });
+  }
+  return response.json();
+});
+```
+
+### Handle 2FA Requirements
+```javascript
+.then(response => {
+  if (response.status === 403 && data.code === 'SESSION_ANOMALY_2FA_REQUIRED') {
+    const totpToken = prompt('Enter your 2FA code:');
+    return fetch(url, {
+      headers: {
+        'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
+        'X-TOTP-Token': totpToken
+      }
+    });
+  }
+});
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Manual Testing
+```bash
+# Test IP Drift
+# 1. Login normally
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/auth/login \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"email":"user@test.com","password":"password"}'
+
+# 2. Make request from different IP (use proxy/VPN)
+curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/api/transactions \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
+  --proxy http://different-ip:8080
+```
+
+### Automated Testing
+```bash
+npm test -- sessionAnomalyDetection.test.js
+```
+
+## Security Events Generated
+
+1. **SESSION_ANOMALY_DETECTED**: Main event for any anomaly
+2. **FORCED_REAUTH**: Session revoked due to anomaly
+3. **IP_DRIFT_DETECTED**: IP address changed
+4. **USER_AGENT_DRIFT_DETECTED**: User Agent changed
+5. **IMPOSSIBLE_TRAVEL_DETECTED**: Impossible travel pattern
+6. **RAPID_SESSION_SWITCHING_DETECTED**: Multiple concurrent sessions
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+- **Latency**: < 10ms per request (cached session lookups)
+- **Database**: Optimized with indexes
+- **Async Logging**: Non-blocking security event creation
+- **Scalability**: Designed for high-traffic applications
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### Existing Applications
+
+1. **Phase 1: Monitoring Only** (Week 1)
+   - Deploy with `LOG_ONLY` mode
+   - Monitor false positive rate
+   - Adjust thresholds if needed
+
+2. **Phase 2: Critical Protection** (Week 2)
+   - Enable `CRITICAL_ONLY` mode
+   - Block only risk score ≥ 90
+   - Monitor blocked sessions
+
+3. **Phase 3: Full Protection** (Week 3+)
+   - Enable `FULL_ENFORCEMENT` mode
+   - Full risk-based protection active
+   - Continuous monitoring
+
+### Zero-Downtime Deployment
+- Feature is backward compatible
+- No database migrations required (indexes auto-created)
+- Can be toggled via environment variables
+
+## Monitoring & Alerts
+
+### Dashboard Queries
+```javascript
+// Get recent anomalies
+await SecurityEvent.find({
+  eventType: 'SESSION_ANOMALY_DETECTED',
+  createdAt: { $gte: sevenDaysAgo }
+})
+.sort({ createdAt: -1 })
+.limit(100);
+
+// Get anomaly trends
+await SecurityEvent.aggregate([
+  {
+    $match: {
+      eventType: 'SESSION_ANOMALY_DETECTED',
+      createdAt: { $gte: thirtyDaysAgo }
+    }
+  },
+  {
+    $group: {
+      _id: { $dateToString: { format: '%Y-%m-%d', date: '$createdAt' } },
+      count: { $sum: 1 },
+      avgRiskScore: { $avg: '$riskScore' }
+    }
+  }
+]);
+```
+
+### Real-Time Alerts
+```javascript
+SecurityEvent.watch().on('change', async (change) => {
+  if (change.fullDocument.severity === 'critical') {
+    await sendSecurityAlert(change.fullDocument);
+  }
+});
+```
