IMPROVEMENT OF SECURITY FOR WEB SERVICES BY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF OAUTH SERVER

Abstract

With the crucial growth of information-technologies is rapidly growing sociability. The clearest example - there are many social networks. To solve the problem of authorization for third-party web services use OAuth
protocol, which asks user to enter his credentials in Web-browser or native application and as a result gives to application access token is used for authorization with REST-API to identify user. All social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Foursquare, Evernote, VK provide REST-APIs protected by OAuth 1.0a or OAuth 2.0.
For implementation of web services developers use custom frameworks. In this work, we researched, developed
and analyzed OAuth library for creation of web-services built on JAX-RS 2.0 framework.
For verification and comparison our solution with others we plan test all the solutions by test suite which allows
to achieve high number of concurrent connections. To reduce workload on test server we are going to launch test suite
on a different PC. After achieving the results, we will compare them to existing solutions and analyze our solution for
weak points.
