1) The document discusses various methods for securing RESTful APIs, including choosing the right security protocol, understanding authentication vs authorization, and exploring specific protocols like basic authentication, JSON web tokens, OAuth1.0a, and OAuth2.
2) It provides details on each protocol, including how they work, benefits, structures like the JWT header and payload, and code examples for implementation flows.
3) The key takeaways are to never use basic authentication without TLS, favor HMAC algorithms over bearer tokens, and use OAuth1.0a or OAuth2 (preferably MAC) for authentication, as OAuth is an authorization protocol rather than authentication standard.
API Security & Federation Patterns - Francois Lascelles, Chief Architect, Lay...CA API Management
The adoption of Mobile and Cloud applications drives API traffic across domains. OAuth 2.0 is being implemented in complex enterprise environments where new authorization endpoints are combined with various existing identity components, in various configurations.
Handshakes are federated to help provide a single sign-on experience across applications and enhance adoption. Mediation between tokens at the edge of each domain helps extend existing data to new channels. Core grant types, extension grant types, custom schemes, standards, patterns and use cases – let us count the ways in which API access control is applied.
This presentation will examine the role of API management infrastructure in API Security, API Access Control and API Federation and its interaction with enterprise infrastructure, social identity and application developers.
Websites and applications are implementing social single sign-on to allow users to login using trusted authentication providers such as Google, Facebook, and even Salesforce. Join us to learn how to configure the OpenID Connect authentication provider to allow users to authenticate at Google to access a Salesforce environment. We'll also look at how you can relieve yourself of the burden of password management by having your web app login users via Salesforce.
Modern Security with OAuth 2.0 and JWT and Spring by Dmitry BuzdinJava User Group Latvia
Have you ever wondered how single-sign-on on sites like Google and Facebook works? Are you a fan of stateless application architectures? Do you want to learn how to put together a modern security approach for your next Spring Boot project? If the answer is yes, to anything above, then this session is for you. Dmitry will explain what is OAuth 2.0 and JWT, why are they popular, and how to integrate them in Java project.
Enterprise API adoption has gone beyond predictions. It has become the 'coolest' way of exposing business functionalities to the outside world. Both your public and private APIs, need to be protected, monitored and managed.
This session focuses on API Security. There are so many options out there to make someone easily confused. When to select one over the other is always a question - and you need to deal with it quite carefully to identify and isolate the tradeoffs. Security is not an afterthought. It has to be an integral part of any development project - so as for APIs. API security has evolved a lot in last five years. This talk covers best practices in building an API Security Ecosystem with OAuth 2.0, UMA, SCIM, XACML and LDAP.
UMA is a profile and application of OAuth that defines how resource owners can control resource access by clients operated by arbitrary requesting parties, where the resources reside on any number of resource servers, and where a centralized authorization server governs access based on resource owner policy. Recent investigations have shown promise for applying UMA to Internet of Things authorization use cases.

Securing your APIs with OAuth, OpenID, and OpenID ConnectManish Pandit
As products and companies move towards IoT model, users and machines alike need to interact with various APIs. Securing these APIs in a connected world can be a challenge faced by many. Fortunately, there are open standards addressing even the most complex of use cases - OAuth, OpenID and OpenID Connect happen to be widely adopted and have a growing support across many API and Identity Providers. In this session I'll talk about these standards, and walk through common use cases/flows from an API Provider as well as consumer's side. We will explore how these standards come together to not only secure the APIs, but also manage identity.

He will explore the existing impl More specifically, the demonstration will be made using Spring Security REST, a popular Grails plugin written by Álvaro.
Authentication is normally a stateful service. Most of the implementations rely on the HTTP session, thus introducing state as the session is an in-memory data structure in the application server.
In the microservices era, most of the companies are developing such called RESTful services, where one of the principles is to create stateless systems. In such scenario, authentication should be stateless too.
There is a standard specification to secure web application and API's, that is being adopted massively by the industry: OAuth 2. The specification doesn't explicitly cover how to make a stateless implementation. And most of the existing ones depend on some sort of external storage (such as a DB) to store the tokens generated for a later validation.
Fortunately, there is another specification by the IETF called JSON Web Token, that can be combined with OAuth 2 to achieve a stateless authentication system.
In the session, Alvaro will explain the core concepts of OAuth 2, as well as JWT and how can them be used together to achieve the last 2 letters of REST: State Transfer.

The OpenID Connect or OAuth frameworks can be used to achieve a range of security levels. Properly used, it mitigates many risks. However, OpenID Connect’s flexibility, combined with its shared ontogeny with OAuth 2.0, creates opportunities for error--developers may not use (or even know about ) certain features necessary to achieve the transaction integrity they desire. The good news is that client software and middleware services can do some of the heavy lifting. You can have the best of both worlds--maximizing security and developer joy. Whether you’re a developer or security architect, what should you look for in an application that acts as an OpenID Connect client?

REST Service Authetication with TLS & JWTsJon Todd
Many companies are adopting micro-services architectures to promote decoupling and separation of concerns in their applications. One inherent challenge with breaking applications up into small services is that now each service needs to deal with authenticating and authorizing requests made to it. We present a clean way to solve this problem Json Web Tokens (JWT) and TLS using Java.

Enabling Cloud Native Security with OAuth2 and Multi-Tenant UAA Will Tran
UAA, as a core component of Cloud Foundry, is responsible for authenticating and authorizing requests between platform users (e.g. those that push apps) and platform components (e.g. the cloud controller). But when it came to doing auth for the apps you push and the end users of those apps, using the built-in UAA wasn't the best fit, and you could easily end up shooting yourself in the foot. Until now. This talk will guide you though UAA's new multi-tenancy features, and show you how to use the built-in UAA to create arbitrary authorization scenarios for your products without the danger of affecting the security of the core platform. With this level of freedom, you'll have complete and fine-grained control over who is allowed to access your product's components, and how those components are allowed to interact with one another.
Secure Enterprise APIs for Mobile, Cloud & Open Web
APIs present enterprises with many business opportunities but they also create new attack vectors that hackers can potentially exploit. APIs share many of the same threats that plague the Web but APIs are fundamentally different from Web sites and have an entirely unique risk profile that must be addressed.
By adopting a secure API architecture from the beginning, it is possible to address both old and new threats. In this webinar, Scott Morrison – CTO at Layer 7 Technologies – will explain in detail how an enterprise can pursue its API publishing strategy without compromising the security of its on-premise systems and data.
You Will Learn
How APIs increase the attack surface
What key types of risk are introduced by APIs
How enterprises can mitigate each of these risks
Why it is crucial to separate API implementation and security into distinct tiers

An Authentication and Authorization Architecture for a Microservices WorldVMware Tanzu
SpringOne Platform 2016
Speaker: David Ferriera; Director, Cloud Technology, Forgerock
Microservices architecture elevates the challenges for Authentication and Authorization management. When a single frontend request can result in many backend microservices calls, it is important to balance security and performance. ForgeRock provides a standards-based blueprint that provides a flexible solution for making these choices while protecting your Cloud Foundry services end to end.
APIs have become a strategic necessity for your business. They facilitate agility and innovation. However, the financial incentive associated with this agility is often tempered with the fear of undue exposure of the valuable information that these APIs expose. With data breaches now costing $400m or more, senior IT decision makers are right to be concerned about API security.
In this SlideShare, you'll learn:
-The top API security concerns
-How the IT industry is dealing with those concerns
-How Anypoint Platform ensures the three qualifications needed to keep APIs secure

OAuth is one of the most popular authorization frameworks in use today. All major platforms such as Google, Facebook, Box etc support it and you are probably thinking of implementi ng OAuth for your product/platform.We are not debating the popularity of the protocol or the limitations that come with it. We are here to help you implement it securely. When you use OAuth, there are three pieces - The Platform , the Application (using the platform) and the User (of the application). We will go over the common flaws we have seen in applications built on a OAuth platform which can lead to complete account takeover, how they can be a security engineer's nightmare, and how to fix them. We will go over security controls that the platform can put in place to help mitigate security vulnerabilities. We will also cover how bad design decisions, if chained with otherwise lower risk vulnerabilities can result in gaping holes in your OAuth implementation. You will leave this session with a deep understanding of how OAuth implementation should be secured both for a platform and in an application and things to test for during a security evaluation of OAuth implementations.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT API
SECURITY PROTOCOL
Security isn’t an afterthought. It has to be an integral part of
any development project and also for REST APIs.
There are multiple ways to secure a RESTful API e.g.
basic auth, OAuth etc. but one thing is sure that RESTful APIs
should be stateless – so request authentication/authorization
should not depend on cookies or sessions. Instead, each API
request should come with some sort authentication credentials
which must be validated on server for each and every request.
2
3. AUTHENTICATION VS.
AUTHORIZATION
Authentication is the verification of the credentials of the
connection attempt. This process consists of sending the
credentials from the remote access client to the remote access
server in an either plaintext or encrypted form by using an
authentication protocol.
Authorization is the verification that the connection attempt is
allowed. Authorization occurs after successful authentication.
In other words: Authentication is stating that you are who are
you are and Authorization is asking if you have access to a certain
resource. 3
4. WHY USE API KEYS VS.
USERNAME/PASSWORD
AUTHENTICATION
Entropy
API keys/secrets are usually a long series of random characters that are
difficult to guess. Username/password are typically much smaller in length,
use common words, are generally insecure, and can be subject to brute
force and dictionary attacks.
Password Reset Problems
Passwords are reset often. If you use the password as part of your API
authentication scheme, API access would fail every time the password is
changed.
Speed
Best practices say to encrypt your passwords in the database to limit a
potential data breach. This increases overhead for each request when
authenticating a user. Unique API keys authentication skips the hashing
step and therefore speeds up your calls. If you want to know more about
storing passwords, read more here.
4
5. STORING YOUR API
SECURITY KEY
It’s recommended to store the API key/secret in a file only
readable by the owner. When the key/secret pair is
downloaded, it is saved to the local file system. Then
permissions are changed so that only the user can read the
file.
5
6. 1) BASIC API
AUTHENTICATION W/ TLS
Basic API authentication is the easiest, because the majority of
the time, it can be implemented without additional libraries.
Everything needed to implement basic authentication is usually
included in your standard framework or language library.
The problem with basic authentication is that it is, well “basic”, and
it offers the lowest security options of the common protocols.
There are no advanced options for using this protocol, so you are
just sending a username and password that is Base64 encoded.
Basic authentication should never be used without TLS (formerly
known as SSL) encryption because the username and password
combination can be easily decoded otherwise.
6
7. 2) JWT – JSON WEB
TOKENS
JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard (RFC 7519) that
defines a compact and self-contained way for securely
transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. This
information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally
signed. JWTs can be signed using a secret (with
the HMAC algorithm) or a public/private key pair using RSA.
Compact: Because of their smaller size, JWTs can be sent
through a URL, POST parameter, or inside an HTTP header.
Additionally, the smaller size means transmission is fast.
Self-contained: The payload contains all the required information
about the user, avoiding the need to query the database more
than once.
7
8. JWT STRUCTURE
Header
The header typically consists of two parts: the type of the token,
which is JWT, and the hashing algorithm being used, such as
HMAC SHA256 or RSA.
Payload
The second part of the token is the payload, which contains the
claims. Claims are statements about an entity (typically, the user)
and additional metadata. There are three types of
claims: reserved, public, and private claims.
Signature
To create the signature part you have to take the encoded header,
the encoded payload, a secret, the algorithm specified in the
header, and sign that.
8
11. HOW DO JSON WEB
TOKENS WORK?
In authentication, when users successfully logs in using their
credentials, a JSON Web Token will be returned and must be
saved locally (typically in local storage, but cookies can be also
used), instead of the traditional approach of creating a session
in the server and returning a cookie.
Whenever the user wants to access a protected route or
resource, the user agent should send the JWT, typically in
the Authorization header using the Bearer schema. The
content of the header should look like the following:
Authorization: Bearer <Token>
11
12. JWT BENEFITS
This is a stateless authentication mechanism as the user state
is never saved in server memory. The server's protected
routes will check for a valid JWT in the Authorization header,
and if it's present, the user will be allowed to access protected
resources. As JWTs are self-contained, all the necessary
information is there, reducing the need to query the database
multiple times.
This allows you to fully rely on data APIs that are stateless and
even make requests to downstream services. It doesn't matter
which domains are serving your APIs, so Cross-Origin
Resource Sharing (CORS) won't be an issue as it doesn't use
cookies.
12
15. 3) OAUTH1.0A
OAuth 1.0a is the most secure of the common protocols. OAuth1
is a widely-used, tested, secure, signature-based protocol. The
protocol uses a cryptographic signature, (usually HMAC-SHA1)
value that combines the token secret, nonce, and other request
based information.
The great advantage of OAuth 1 is you never directly pass the
token secret across the wire, which completely eliminates the
possibility of anyone seeing a password in transit. This is the
only that can be safely used without SSL (although you
should still use SSL if the data transferred is sensitive).
However, this level of security comes with a price: generating and
validating signatures can be a complex process. You have to use
specific hashing algorithms with a strict set of steps.
15
16. 4) OAUTH2
Introduction
OAuth 2 is an authorization framework that enables
applications to obtain limited access to user accounts on an
HTTP service, such as Facebook, GitHub, and DigitalOcean. It
works by delegating user authentication to the service that
hosts the user account, and authorizing third-party applications
to access the user account. OAuth 2 provides authorization
flows for web and desktop applications, and mobile devices.
16
17. WHAT IS OAUTH2?
OAuth2 sounds like an evolution of OAuth1, but in reality it is a
completely different take on authentication that attempts to
reduce complexity.
OAuth2’s current specification removes signatures, so you no
longer need to use cryptographic algorithms to create,
generate, and validate signatures.
All the encryption is now handled by TLS, which is required.
There are not as many OAuth2 libraries as there are OAuth1a
libraries, so leveraging this protocol for REST API security may
be more challenging.
17
18. OAUTH ROLES
The Third-Party Application: "Client“
The client is the application that is attempting to get access to the user's
account. It needs to get permission from the user before it can do so.
The API: "Resource Server“
The resource server is the API server used to access the user's information.
The Authorization Server
This is the server that presents the interface where the user approves or
denies the request. In smaller implementations, this may be the same server
as the API server, but larger scale deployments will often build this as a
separate component.
The User: "Resource Owner“
The resource owner is the person who is giving access to some portion of their
account. 18
20. CREATING AN APP
(WEB/MOBILE)
Before you can begin the OAuth process, you must first register a
new app with the service. When registering a new app, you
usually register basic information such as application name,
website, a logo, etc. In addition, you must register a redirect
URI to be used for redirecting users to for web server, browser-
based, or mobile apps.
Redirect URIs
The service will only redirect users to a registered URI, which helps
prevent some attacks. Any HTTP redirect URIs must be protected
with TLS security, so the service will only redirect to URIs
beginning with "https". This prevents tokens from being intercepted
during the authorization process.
Native apps may register a redirect URI with a custom URL
scheme for the application, which may look like demoapp://redirect.
20
21. After registering your app, you will receive a client ID and a client secret.
The client ID is considered public information, and is used to build login
URLs, or included in Javascript source code on a page.
The client secret must be kept confidential. If a deployed app cannot keep
the secret confidential, such as single-page Javascript apps or native
apps, then the secret is not used, and ideally the service shouldn't issue a
secret to these types of apps in the first place.
21
CLIENT ID AND SECRET
22. APP TYPES (SEE ARTICLE
)
Web Server Apps
Web server apps are the most common type of application you
encounter when dealing with OAuth servers. Web apps are written
in a server-side language and run on a server where the source
code of the application is not available to the public. This means
the application is able to use its client secret when communicating
with the authorization server, which can help avoid some attack
vectors.
Single-Page Apps
Single-page apps (or browser-based apps) run entirely in the
browser after loading the source code from a web page. Since the
entire source code is available to the browser, they cannot
maintain the confidentiality of their client secret, so the secret is
not used in this case. The flow is exactly the same as the
authorization code flow above, but at the last step, the
authorization code is exchanged for an access token without using
the client secret.
22
23. WEB SERVER APPS:
Authorization:
The first step of OAuth 2 is to get authorization from the user. For
browser-based or mobile apps, this is usually accomplished by
displaying an interface provided by the service to the user.
OAuth 2 provides several "grant types" for different use cases. The
grant types defined are:
Authorization Code for apps running on a web server, browser-based
and mobile apps
Password for logging in with a username and password
Client credentials for application access
Implicit was previously recommended for clients without a secret, but has been
superseded by using the Authorization Code grant with no secret.
23
24. WHICH OAUTH 2.0 GRANT
SHOULD WE USE?
A grant is a method of acquiring an access token. Deciding
which grants to implement depends on the type of client the
end user will be using, and the experience you want for your
users.
Access Token Owner?
An access token represents a permission granted to a client to
access some protected resources:
If you are authorizing a machine to access resources and you don’t require
the permission of a user to access said resources you should implement the
client credentials grant.
If you require the permission of a user to access resources you need to
determine the client type.
24
25. CLIENT TYPE?
Depending on whether or not the client is capable of keeping a
secret will depend on which grant the client should use:
If the client is a web application that has a server side component
then you should implement the authorization code grant.
If the client is a web application that has runs entirely on the front
end (e.g. a single page web application) you should implement the
password grant for a first party clients and the implicit grant for a
third party clients.
If the client is a native application such as a mobile app you should
implement the password grant.
25
26. PROCESS:
Create a "Log In" link sending the user to:
https://authorization-server.com/auth?
response_type=code&client_id=CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_
URI&scope=photos&state=1234zyx
code - Indicates that your server expects to receive an authorization code
client_id - The client ID you received when you first created the application
redirect_uri - Indicates the URI to return the user to after authorization is
complete
scope - One or more scope values indicating which parts of the user's
account you wish to access
state - A random string generated by your application, which you'll verify
later
26
28. If the user clicks "Allow," the service redirects the user back to
your site with an auth code:
https://example-app.com/cb?
code=AUTH_CODE_HERE&state=1234zyx
code - The server returns the authorization code in the query string
state - The server returns the same state value that you passed
You should first compare this state value to ensure it matches
the one you started with. You can typically store the state
value in a cookie or session, and compare it when the user
comes back. This ensures your redirection endpoint isn't able
to be tricked into attempting to exchange arbitrary
authorization codes.
28
29. Token exchange:
Your server exchanges the auth code for an access token:
POST https://api.authorization-
server.com/tokengrant_type=authorization_code&code=AUTH_CODE
_HERE&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI&client_id=CLIENT_ID&client_s
ecret=CLIENT_SECRET
grant_type=authorization_code - The grant type for this flow is
authorization_code
code=AUTH_CODE_HERE - This is the code you received in the query
string
redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI - Must be identical to the redirect URI
provided in the original link
client_id=CLIENT_ID - The client ID you received when you first created
the application
client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET - Since this request is made from
server-side code, the secret is included
29
30. The server replies with an access token and expiration time:
{
"access_token":"RsT5OjbzRn430zqMLgV3Ia",
"expires_in":3600
}
Or if there is an error:
{
"error":"invalid_request"
}
30
32. JWT “VS” OUTH2
JWT is an authentication protocol
This means it is a strict set of instructions for the issuing and validating of signed
access tokens. The tokens contain claims that are used by an app to limit access
to a user.
OAuth2 is an authentication framework
OAuth2 on the other hand is a framework, think very detailed guideline, for letting
users and applications authorize specific permissions to other applications in both
private and public settings.
What’s with the ‘VS’ in the title?
The ‘vs’ in the title is misleading, the two are not incompatible with each other. It
is possible to have an OAuth2 implementation that issues JSON Web Tokens as
an authentication mechanism.

32
33. WRAP UP
Never use Basic Authentication, if possible
Favor HMAC-SHA256 digest algorithms over bearer token
Use Oauth 1.0a or Oath 2 (preferably MAC)
“Only use a custom scheme if you really, really know what you’re doing”
“Oauth is an authorization protocol, NOT an authentication or SSP protocol”. But there
are those that still try to use Oauth for authentication – for example, OpenID Connect.
JSON Web Token (JWT) is “a very new spec, but clean and simple.
33
