gud3/yii2-rest-auth

Authorization for rest, which is made for increased security.

Yii2 rest authorized

This extension increase security betwean requests to REST contorllers., _(*1)

How does it work: there is a short(token) and long(series) keys. Short key changes every time, the long key remains the same for entire period of authorization., _(*2)

Then they are merged into a string and attached to the Authorization header. These values are separated by ";", _(*3)

To confirm next request, when "client" send new request, it attaches the same Authoriztion header with the data it recieved. And this continues until the user is logged out or the keys are stolen., _(*4)

When the keys are stolen and the thief use the user's data - the short key (token) changes every request. When the real user makes a request - the system will notice that long key (series) is the same, but short key doesn't match. In this case system delete Authorization, the thief and the real user will be logged out, _(*5)

For data storage it uses ActiveRecord table. In this table keeps all authorization data, the end date of the session. Sessions are stored in Redis., _(*6)
