Download as PPTX, PDF73 likes49,287 views
The document discusses securing RESTful APIs using OAuth 2 and OpenID Connect, highlighting the importance of authentication and authorization mechanisms for user data protection. It covers practical implementation details for fetching and using access tokens, along with various authorization flows and considerations for integrating these security standards without alienating developers. Additionally, it emphasizes the flexibility of REST and OAuth as specifications and provides resource links for further exploration.

Securing RESTful APIs using OAuth 2 and OpenID Connect
- 1. Securing RESTful APIs Using OAuth 2 and OpenID Connect Jonathan LeBlanc (@jcleblanc) Head of Developer Evangelism PayPal North America
- 2. What We’re Covering Auth History and REST Concepts Adding in an Auth Mechanism Integration in Practice (server + client side integrations)
- 3. What We Want
- 4. The Ultimate Decision Security Usability
- 5. Path to the Standard
- 6. The Insecure, Unmanageable Start
- 7. Very Secure, Long to Implement
- 8. Two Currently Widely Used Specs
- 10. What a RESTful API isn’t Our API is RESTful, we support GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE requests No…actually you just support HTTP…like the rest of the web.
- 11. What a RESTful API is Honor HTTP request verbs Use proper HTTP status codes No version numbering in URIs Return format via HTTP Accept header
- 12. Does Anyone Actually Do That? Very few APIs follow pragmatic REST principles
- 13. HATEOAS
- 14.

- 16. Reasons for Auth Rate Limiting and Attack Vector Protection Having the ability to revoke application access Needing to allow users to revoke an applications access to their data
- 17. When You Need Access Security
- 18. A Few Different Flavors of Usage User login (authentication) Application only (bearer tokens) User Involvement (authorization)
- 20. Fetching the Access Token Fetch the Access Token Access Token Endpoint client_id grant_type client_secret HTTP POST Access Token Endpoint
- 21. Fetching the Access Token curl https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Accept-Language: en_US" -u "EOJ2S-Z6OoN_le_KS1d75wsZ6y0SFd…" -d "grant_type=client_credentials"
- 22. Access Token Response { "scope": "https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/.* https://api.paypal.com/v1/vault/credit-card", "access_token": "EEwJ6tF9x5WCIZDYzyZGaz6K…", "token_type": "Bearer", "app_id": "APP-6XR95014SS315863X", "expires_in": 28800 }
- 23. Using the Access Token Fetch Privileged Resources Resource Endpoint Token Type (Authorization header) Access Token (Authorization header) HTTP GET / PUT / POST / DELETE Resource Endpoint
- 24. Using the Access Token curl -v https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Authorization:Bearer EMxItHE7Zl4cMdkv…" -d "{...}"
- 25. A few implementation differences Endpoints Scopes (dynamic / static) Using the Access Token in a request
- 26. OAuth 2 & JavaScript?
- 27. The Complexities of JavaScript The same-origin policy Keeping private keys private Not having to provide a hacked experience
- 28. The Ways we Made it Work Server-side proxy Flash / iframe proxy Private token storage mechanism
- 29. User Agent Flow: Redirect Prepare the Redirect URI Authorization Endpoint client_id response_type (token) scope redirect_uri Browser Redirect Redirect URI
- 30. User Agent Flow: Redirect Building the redirect link var auth_uri = auth_endpoint + "?response_type=token" + "&client_id=" + client_id + "&scope=profile" + "&redirect_uri=" + window.location; $("#auth_btn").attr("href", auth_uri);
- 31. User Agent Flow: Hash Mod Fetch the Hash Mod access_token refresh_token expires_in Extract Access Token
- 32. User Agent Flow: Hash Mod http://site.com/callback#access_token=rBEGu1FQr5 4AzqE3Q&refresh_token=rEBt51FZr54HayqE3V4a& expires_in=3600 var hash = document.location.hash; var match = hash.match(/access_token=(w+)/); Extracting the access token from the hash
- 33. User Agent Flow: Get Resources Set Request Headers + URI Resource Endpoint Header: token type + access token Header: accept data type HTTPS Request
- 34. User Agent Flow: Get Resources $.ajax({ url: resource_uri, beforeSend: function (xhr) { xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'OAuth ' + token); xhr.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'application/json'); }, success: function (response) { //use response object } }); Making an authorized request
- 35. Using the Skeleton Key
- 36. How it’s Normally Used Access user details Push data through user social streams
- 37. But why? Access token as a control structure Improve Existing Products Our showcase: Seamless Checkout
- 38. The Last Considerations REST and OAuth are specifications, not religions Don’t alienate your developers with security Open source is your friend
- 39. A Few Code Links OAuth2 & OpenID Connect Samples https://github.com/jcleblanc/oauth https://github.com/paypal/paypal-access Log in with PayPal http://bit.ly/loginwithpaypal
