The objective of this project is to design an API access management system that secures backend services using token validation and policy enforcement. The system ensures only authorized clients can access APIs while preventing abuse and unauthorized usage.
Study API security challenges and access control requirements.
Design API authentication and authorization workflows.
Implement token-based access control mechanisms.
Validate tokens before granting API access.
Enforce fine-grained API access policies.
Implement rate limiting to prevent API abuse.
Log API access attempts and violations.
Test system with legitimate and malicious API requests.
Evaluate performance under high request loads.
Assess security improvements over unsecured APIs.
Document system design and scalability considerations.
