Securing JAX-RS Services with OAuth 2

The popularity of RESTful APIs has grown significantly in the last few years, and more approaches to solving the issue of securing REST APIs have emerged. OAuth is currently by far the most popular solution for securing publicly exposed REST APIs, primarily thanks to OAuth’s adoption by popular social networks. This session, packed with live demos, covers how and when to use OAuth to secure your REST services developed with JAX-RS. It also introduces OAuth basics and then dives deeper, zooming in on other interesting use cases such as securing access of mobile devices or delegating login authentication by using OpenID Connect. All examples are based on Jersey 2.x, which provides JAX-RS 2.0 reference implementation.
