Security in DeviceHive

In DeviceHive we care about keeping things secure and safe.

DeviceHive authentication is secured by JSON Web Tokens (JWT). The key benefits of this approach are:

• Token is stateless and self contained, no need to store on server side;
• Portability - one token can be used with multiple backends;
• Reduce compute and network round time;
• Decentralized, can be generated on the standalone server;
• Configurable expiration date and time;
• Tokens are compact and easy to transmit.

TLS connectivity for devices and apps communication is provided.

Access for users, networks and devices is role-based.
