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
