Keys

Every call to the Web API interfaces require HTTP Authorization header with a Bearer authentication scheme: Authorization: Bearer BgV57K7vCwGE2vXex7BcgahRMeYoBQgdSJWhcQoJXhF4. Authorization tokens for this header can be obtained by an administrator from Web API Keys tab in the Contract Signatures Apps page. Every key is associated with the following security attributes which define its:

Privileges - to which interfaces the key may be used
Not valid before - from when the key may be used
Not valid after - till when the key may be used
Allowed IPs - from what IPs (ranges) the key may be used

When any of the above criteria is not meet 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden HTTP status codes are returned.

As restricted criteria as possible should be set to minimize unauthorized misuse.

Every authorized use of a key is registered as it would be the owner of the key doing the action.

Ensure your HTTP client verifies server's certificate. Otherwise you may send your key secret to an impersonated entity.

Key secret tokens should be placed in files on destination instances only with a maximally restricted file access attributes and loaded into the application on a start. Even better would be to use some secret management utility sometimes provided by cloud operators.

Key secret tokens should not be stored in environment variables. They are available to child processes and may be dumped to some unencrypted log files on application crash, debugs or restarts.

Key secret tokens should not be passed via program arguments as they may be exposed to all operating system users.

Key secret tokens should never be placed in the application source code, even in private repositories as not every developer, tester, copywriter, technical operator and so on should have access to it.

Key secret tokens should never be stored in the database unencrypted as they may leak with the database backups or migrations.
