In this webinar NGINX and Curity explore ways to elevate privacy and security using API Gateways.

In today’s world, APIs are ubiquitous, either in communication between-backend services or from front ends to back ends. They serve all kinds of purposes, come in different flavors, and return data in various formats. The possibilities are countless. Still, they all share one common trait – an API needs to be secure. Secure access to an API should be paramount for any company exposing them, especially if the APIs are available externally and consumed by third-party clients.

In this session, we will look at how you can enhance privacy and security by implementing the Phantom Token Flow using NGINX and the Curity Identity Server.

We will explore:

  • the dangers of using a by-value token
  • possible solutions involving a by-reference token
  • differences between Phantom and Split Tokens
  • a demo showing an easy way to set up containerized NGINX and the Curity Identity Server to use the Phantom Token Flow
