Authentication Protocols

Authentication protocols are security techniques that validate the identity of users, systems, or applications before granting access to APIs. When integrating third-party software with ERP platforms, such as CargoWise, these protocols are crucial for ensuring that only trusted and approved systems can access or exchange data.

API keys, basic authentication, and OAuth 2.0 are all common authentication methods. These protocols act as a digital checkpoint, preventing illegal access, safeguarding important logistics data, and assuring data integrity across all connected systems. They are critical for ensuring secure, compliant, and dependable communication between CargoWise and external technologies, including CRMs, WMSs, and finance platforms.
