Not sure that makes sense. Basic authentication uses HTTP Headers, not cookies. See Here <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication>
Yes, Shiro can handle security for ajax stacks like AngularJS, but it all depends on your security requirements; Basic, Session based cookies, or Token based authentication (sometimes called Bearer Token.) OAuth did a nice break down for AngularJS and security, you can read that here <https://auth0.com/blog/2014/01/07/angularjs-authentication-with-cookies-vs-token/> Best of luck.
