Hi,
This is just a general question about HMAC and its implementation for a mobile
app. The backend is a set of layers and one of it is a WebSphere Broker that has to send a
message digest of JSON data. In order to ensure both data integrity and authenticity we
also need a shared secret. This means that we need to distribute the shared key and store
it somewhere. What do keycloak users use for this scenario ?
Does the Android mobile app. Request for a shared key which the backend also knows(like
what the AWS REST flow does) ? How is this done ?
If we want to use digital signatures then the apps. Need one part of a keypair. How can we
distribute and share the public keys ? We don't have any requirement for OAuth.
Thanks,
Mohan
