Object access using RESTful APIs is secured over HTTPS (TLS v1.2). Incoming requests are authenticated using defined methods such as Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HBAC), Kerberos, or token authentication. The following table presents the different methods used for each protocol.
Protocol | Authentication methods | |
Object | S3 | V2 (HMAC-SHA1), V4 (HMAC-SHA256) |
Swift | Token - Keystone v2 and v3 (scoped, UUID, PKI tokens), SWAuth v1 | |
Atmos | HMAC-SHA1 | |
CAS | Secret Key PEA file | |
File | NFS | Kerberos, AUTH_SYS |
