Preface
As the world becomes more and more connected, digital security becomes an increasing concern. Especially in the Internet of Things (IoT), Application Programming Interface (API), and microservice spaces, the proper access management needs to be seriously addressed to ensure web assets are securely distributed.
During the Nordic APIs World Tour – a five day international conference we held in May 2015 – our speakers consistently reiterated the importance of API security.
So, to help providers secure their systems, we at Nordic APIs have collated our most helpful advice on API security into this eBook; a single tomb that introduces important terms, outlines proven API security stacks, and describes workflows using modern technologies such as OAuth and OpenID Connect.
