TBD:
– summarise current design and refer to existing docs
– propose API changes
– propose additional utilities (like caching)
Goal
This goal is to improve the following aspects of the existing authn/z:
improve performance and cacheability – structure the API to limit the number of token signing requests
standardize and simplify mod-authtoken API – use regular RAML/JSON API defintion
lift header-size limites – move away from the header-oriented API, limit the number of custom headers
