Security Best Practices

Implement enterprise-grade security for your Orbital7 deployments with these implementation patterns.

Core Security Principles

Implementation-focused patterns for secure API systems

Authentication Foundations

Implement OAuth2.0, JWT, and API key validation with granular policy controls.

Encryption Standards

Enforce TLS 1.3+ encryption and field-level encryption for sensitive data.

Access Control

Implement least-privilege RBAC and ABAC patterns with dynamic policy evaluation.

Security Implementation Guide

Step-by-step configuration for common security controls

Configuring Authentication

// Basic JWT configuration const authConfig = { "provider": "JWT", "audience": "orbital7-api", "issuers": ["https://auth.orbital7.com"], "required": true };

OAuth2.0

Secure integration with industry standard identity providers.

POST /api/auth/sessions
{
  "client_id": "your-client-id",
  "redirect_uri": "https://your-app.com/auth-callback"
}

API Keys

Programmatic access control with token-based authentication.

Authorization: "Key your-api-key-here"

Always combine token authentication with refresh token rotation and automatic revocation capabilities.

Security Best Practices

Proven strategies for maintaining secure deployments

Token Expiring

Configure automated token rotation and implement JWT refresh token workflows.
