Book description
There are several techniques for controlling access to web APIs in microservice architectures, ranging from network controls to cryptographic methods and platform-based capabilities. This short ebook introduces an API access control model that you can implement on a single platform or across multiple platforms to provide cohesive security across your network of microservices.
Until now, speed of delivery rather than security has motivated organizations to adopt a microservices architecture. Authors Matt McLarty and Rob Wilson propose a vocabulary and model for logical and physical systems of microservices, review current practices for web API access control in a microservice architecture, and present DHARMA—a comprehensive, platform independent approach to API access control.
This ebook is ideal for architects, product owners, development leaders, platform teams, and operational managers.
This ebook includes:
- A platform-neutral overview of the microservices landscape
- Current network-, trust-, and platform-based security technologies and solutions that apply to microservice APIs
- The proposed DHARMA cross-platform model for securing microservice API access control
- A word on the future direction of microservice API security
