Sergey Beryozkin commented on CXF-2873:
---------------------------------------

More like the way it is described here :
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/12/17/dive.html

and yes, with nonces, and timestamps or using the derived keys.

If we use the basic auth then HTTPS will have to be set up which may be a bit 
of a headache if people just would like to view logs. username (with nonces & 
timestamps) is not terribly secure - but it will let users not do HTTPS and it 
is just the logs, we're probably talking about some constraint environment, not 
the the wild web :-), the nonce store can be simplistic, say, keep 5000 nonces, 
and then get rid of them 

> Add authentication support (via HTTP basic authentication)
