Hi Sachith

Sorry for the long delay...

I recommend to use a string authToken or similar within each service as
first parameter.
This enables security at service level and is usually the thing you need
from a long term perspective.

On the other hand there is SSL at the transport layer. Good in combination
with the service level authentication.
Supported by many languages, but not yet integrated into the cross languages
test suite.

The other thing is SASL available on java implementation, patches might be
available for other languages.

All the best!

Subject: Securing public Thrift API

Hi all,

 I'm working with Apache Airavata and we are in the process of using Apache
Thrift for both internal and external uses.

I'm looking into the security aspects of Thrift.

Any suggestions on securing the communication?

In the case of Evernote, I read that they are using a proxy as well?
