API Security Guidelines

The API REST Security Guidelines address security issues in the context of APIs. They are a useful resource for designing and operating APIs.

The aim is to increase the security of electronic interfaces by promoting the exchange of electronic data and the provision of e-government services. This will be useful for the Digital Switzerland strategy, which aims to make data and services as easily available as possible via secure digital channels.
