I am building restful API and want to protect my Api's. i am thinking to implement Oauth but as per my knowledge Oauth is suitable only when we are exposing our API to third party application. i am not exposing my Api to third party application.

I want to know implementing Oauth is suitable for this or not??

Thanks,

  • I can't see why you would need it then . You can go with the conventional using a gem like devise or even building a simple authentication on your own , oauth isn't going to help you much I think. – Joel Blum Jun 10 '16 at 10:25
  • For that I guess you can go with SAML and create and IDP with that or you can implement a token based security system for your api's. Rest lot of info is given on this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7999295/rest-api-authentication – Arihant Godha Jun 10 '16 at 10:26
  • @Arihant - what is your opinion on HMAC authentication used by AWS ?? – Sanjay Salunkhe Jun 12 '16 at 11:49
