Token-based security for remote resources

摘要

Systems and methods of token-based protection for remote resources are disclosed. For example, a method may include receiving, at a second computing device, a configuration message from a first computing device. The configuration message includes information to configure a resource at the second computing device. For example, the resource may be a cloud transcoder. The method also includes generating, at the second computing device, a short token that enables the first computing device to access the resource. For example, the short token may be used to receive a long token that can be used to send application programming interface (API) requests to the cloud transcoder.

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a second computing device, a configuration message from a first computing device, the configuration message including information to configure a transcoder at the second computing device; generating, at the second computing device, a short token that enables the first computing device to access the transcoder; generating a long token that enables the first computing device to access an application programming interface (API) supported by the second computing device, wherein the long token is longer than the short token; sending the short token to the first computing device as a first connection code; receiving a second connection code from the first computing device; sending the long token to the first computing device upon verification that the second connection code matches the first connection code; and receiving an API request from the first computing device, the API request configured to retrieve characteristics of the transcoder.
