It will explain, in depth, securing APIs from traditional HTTP Basic Authentication to OAuth 2.0 and the standards built around it. This book will: provide an in depth tutorial of most widely adopted security standards for API security; teach you how to compare and contrast different security standards/protocols to find out what suits your business needs the best; show you how to expand business APIs to partners and outsiders with Identity Federation; get hands-on experience in developing clients against Facebook, Twitter, and Salesforce APIs, as well as give you an understanding of mitigation security threats. -- Edited summary from book Notes Includes index English Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed November 30, 2017) Subject Application program interfaces (Computer software) -- Security measures Computer security COMPUTERS -- Security -- General.
