What is claims API?
The Claims Status API provides a simple and accessible method for our users to determine where the claim is in the adjudication process (for example, Pending or Finalized) and the status of the claim (for example, Paid or Denied).
What is the difference between a scope and a claim?
Simply put: Claims are assertions that one subject (e.g. a user or an Authorization Server) makes about itself or another subject. Scopes are groups of claims.
What is API key based authentication?
An API key is a simple encrypted string that identifies an application without any principal. They are useful for accessing public data anonymously, and are used to associate API requests with your project for quota and billing.
What are claims in JWT?
JSON web tokens (JWTs) claims are pieces of information asserted about a subject. For example, an ID token (which is always a JWT) can contain a claim called name that asserts that the name of the user authenticating is “John Doe”.
Does access token contain claims?
In addition, this security token contains claims data about the user as saved with the authentication server. The ID token represents as JWT. This token authenticates the user to the application.
What is the difference between OAuth and API key?
OAuth is the answer to accessing user data with APIs. Unlike with API keys, OAuth does not require a user to go spelunking through a developer portal. In fact, in the best cases, users simply click a button to allow an application to access their accounts.
What is the difference between OAuth and claims-based authentication?
Claims based authentication is proposed by Microsoft and build on top of WS-Security. But OAuth is more a open source protocol that is being proposed to allow fetching resources from different portals based on a security token.
What is the difference between SAML and OAuth?
Security assertion markup language (SAML) is an authentication process. Head to work in the morning and log into your computer, and you’ve likely used SAML. Open authorization (OAuth) is an authorization process. Use it to jump from one service to another without tapping in a new username and password.
What are the different types of authentication and authorization for APIs?
When designing systems that enable secure authentication and authorization for API access, you must consider how your applications and users should authenticate themselves. In this article, we’ll compare three different ways to achieve this: API Keys, HTTP Basic Authentication, and OAuth.
Is it possible to use OAuth with token-based authentication?
Even when you are using OAuth you would need some kind of authentication (token based or session based etc) to authenticate the uses. OAuth is not designed for authentication.
