18:41 adaro ka
18:45 whartung la
18:46 whartung Ok REST cogniescenti, speaking of nothing in particular. Convince me why HTTP BASIC over SSL is inadequate for service security.
18:53 adaro its not
18:53 fumanchu its ugly to users
18:53 fumanchu it's*
18:53 adaro or well it depends on the requirements
18:53 whartung what does this have to do with users?
18:54 fumanchu </sarcasm> that's the only "inadequate" argument I've ever come across ;)
18:55 whartung what, no desk pounding about SSL vulnerabilitles and NSA middle men?
18:56 fumanchu I assumed "Basic over SSL" could include TLS
18:56 whartung SSL == TLS, they just changed the name
18:57 adaro I mean if you are a bank you might want something stronger
18:57 whartung because you don't trust TLS?
18:57 adaro but for 99% of the usecases basic auth + ssl should be good enough

19:47 pdurbin whartung: what are you sending over HTTP Basic? usernames and passwords? or API tokens?

20:08 shrink0r joined #rest
20:32 aGHz pdurbin: HTTP Basic sends username and password (base64-encoded)
20:33 aGHz whartung: because most client implementors will choose to ignore CA errors, thereby negating the security of TLS in the case of MITM
21:14 marcoslamuria joined #rest
21:24 shrink0r_ joined #rest
21:43 pdurbin aGHz: sure, but you could send a token for the username
21:48 whartung but that was the entire crux of my question. You look at something like what AWS does, and the complexity of the signature, etc. and wonder "but, if this is over HTTPS, does this really gain anything substantial?"
21:49 whartung since the market is driving towards "pure" HTTPS, is BASIC adequate.
