Implementing JWT and OAuth 2.0 authentication across microservices requires consistent security policy frameworks. This guidance provides end-to-end design patterns for secure token-based authentication, enabling single sign-on and consistent access controls across multiple distributed services.

Configuring RBAC and ABAC authorization models for APIs is best achieved through defense-in-depth guidance and governance-ready templates. These patterns ensure robust access controls by mapping user roles and attributes to specific API resource permissions.

Rate limiting and CORS protect web service APIs by applying defense-in-depth measures against abuse and unauthorized cross-origin requests. Rate limiting restricts excessive traffic, while CORS policies control how web browsers permit external domains to access your API resources securely.

Yes, you can use these API security patterns to secure an API gateway and enable SSO across multiple services. The guidance specifically supports designing consistent authentication and authorization protections tailored for microservices API gateway deployments.

No specific dependencies are required to apply these authentication and authorization patterns. The guidance provides framework-agnostic, governance-ready templates and practical configuration patterns that engineering teams can implement across various web service environments.
