API authentication security

Description

Simpl-Open shall ensure secure and standardised authentication and authorisation for APIs, enforcing controlled access for external consumers and integrations.

SMART Breakdown

  • Specific: The system must ensure secure and standardised authentication and authorisation for APIs, enforcing controlled access for external consumers and integrations.
  • Measurable: Verified by the validation of authentication tokens, testing API access with different roles, and ensuring proper integration with identity management systems.
  • Achievable: The authentication and authorisation processes must be designed to support secure access control, integrating with external identity providers where required.
  • Realistic: The use of secure authentication and authorisation practices is a fundamental security requirement, in line with current industry standards.
  • Timely: This requirement must be enforced as part of the initial API design, with continuous verification during the development lifecycle.
