I have a restful API, and I have assigned them all a userId and a secret key. To call the API they provide those credentials for the HTTP Basic Authentication credentials over SSL.
Is this safe enough?
Basic Authentication is secure over SSL. Worry not, the username / password portion of the HTTP packet will be encrypted when using SSL.
