Understanding Digest Access Authentication. Digest Access Authentication is one method that a client and server can use to exchange credentials over HTTP.

Understanding Digest Access Authentication

This method uses a combination of the password and other bits of information to create an MD5 hash which is then sent to the server to authenticate. Sending a hash avoids the problems with sending a password in clear text, a shortfall of Basic Access Authentication. Digest Access was originally defined in RFC 2069, and optional security enhancements were later added in RFC 2617 which should be considered the current standard if you wish to implement this method yourself.

We’ll have a look at both in this article. The Problem with Basic Access Authentication. Node.js and Express - Basic Authentication. Basic authentication can be a quick and efficient way to protect your content.

Node.js and Express - Basic Authentication

Combined with SSL it’s also very secure. This article describes how to add basic authentication to a Node.js Express application. Express App The first thing we need is an Express application. Creating an Express app is extremely simple, and the makers of Express do a pretty good job documenting the process. Using CORS. Introduction APIs are the threads that let you stitch together a rich web experience.

Using CORS

But this experience has a hard time translating to the browser, where the options for cross-domain requests are limited to techniques like JSON-P (which has limited use due to security concerns) or setting up a custom proxy (which can be a pain to set up and maintain). Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a W3C spec that allows cross-domain communication from the browser. By building on top of the XMLHttpRequest object, CORS allows developers to work with the same idioms as same-domain requests. Santiago Ortiz website.

Situation You want to develop a RESTful web API for developers that is secure to use, but doesn’t require the complexity of OAuth and takes a simple “pass the credentials in the query” approach… or something equally-as-easy for people to use, but it needs to be secure.

Designing a Secure REST (Web) API without OAuth

You are a smart guy, so you start to think… Problem You realize that literally passing the credentials over HTTP leaves that data open to being sniffed in plain-text; After the Gawker incident, you realize that plain-text or weakly-hashed anything is usually a bad idea. You realize that hashing the password and sending the hash over the wire in lieu of the plain-text password still gives people sniffing at least the username for the account and a hash of the password that could (in a disturbing number of cases) be looked up in a Rainbow Table.

Understanding Browser HTTP Accept Headers: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and WebKit (Safari / Chrome)

Admits error, downplays importance. When a web browser make a request it sends information to the server about what it is looking for in headers. One of these headers is the Accept header. The Accept header tells the server what file formats, or more correctly MIME-types, the browser is looking for.
