Motivation and Context

The Security Considerations section has a few security best practices, but it lacks details on what are the best practices, as well as examples.

This pull request includes updates to the docs/concepts/transports.mdx file to enhance the security considerations for implementing transport. The changes introduce detailed guidelines on authentication, data security, and network security.

Security Considerations Enhancements:

• Authentication and Authorization:

  • Added standardized protocols such as OAuth 2.0/OAuth 2.1 or OpenID Connect for secure token handling.
  • Included guidelines for securely storing client credentials using secure secrets stores
  • Introduced best practices for using JWTs, including setting expiration times and supporting token rotation.
  • Emphasized the importance of implementing Role-based Access Control (RBAC) and Access Control Lists (ACLs).

• Data Security:

  • Added instructions for configuring servers to use HTTPS with valid TLS certificates and enforcing strong cipher suites.
  • Recommended using input validation libraries like bleach for Python and DOMPurify for JavaScript to sanitize user inputs.

• Network Security:

  • Provided guidelines for implementing rate limiting using middleware or API gateways and burst control.
