Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention provides a system that enables a user to securely invoke a REST (Representational State Transfer) API (Application Programming Interface) at an application server. A client can establish a secure communication channel with an application server, and can send a request to the application server to invoke the REST API. The client can then receive a security token from an authentication system in response to authenticating the user with the authentication system. Next, the client can receive a nonce and a timestamp from the application server. The client can then determine a security token digest using the security token, the nonce, and the timestamp. Next, the client can resend the request to the application server to invoke the REST API with the security token digest. The application server can invoke the REST API if the security token digest is valid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to techniques for providing secure web services. Background technique [0002] The World Wide Web (WWW), or "the web" for short, has penetrated nearly every aspect of our lives -- from buying cameras to buying real estate, from reading newspapers to watching movies. Unfortunately, the web can also be a very dangerous place where even a savvy user can disclose highly sensitive information or suffer substantial property damage. [0003] Therefore, providing secure access to web services is an important security issue. However, this problem is particularly challenging for at least two reasons. One, the Internet is inherently insecure because it is a public network. As a result, systems and techniques for providing secure access to web services over the Internet need to address a variety of security issues. Second, most of the extraordinary achievements of the web are due to its highly scalable architecture and i...
