Web API security. Web API security entails authenticating programs or users who are invoking a web API. Along with the ease of API integrations come the difficulties of ensuring proper authentication (AuthN) and authorization (AuthZ). In a multitenant environment, security controls based on proper AuthN and AuthZ can help ensure that API access ...

Digest access authentication is one of the agreed-upon methods a web server can use to negotiate credentials, such as username or password, with a user's web browser. This can be used to confirm the identity of a user before sending sensitive information, such as online banking transaction history.
The Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSSAPI, also GSS-API) is an application programming interface for programs to access security services. The GSSAPI is an IETF standard that addresses the problem of many similar but incompatible security services in use as of 2005.
Insecure direct object reference. Insecure direct object reference (IDOR) is a type of access control vulnerability in digital security. [1] This can occur when a web application or application programming interface uses an identifier for direct access to an object in an internal database but does not check for access control or authentication.

[1] Since APIs lack a GUI, API testing is performed at the message layer. [2]
