 (formerly Swagger Specification) is an API description format for REST APIs. An OpenAPI file allows you to describe your entire API, including:

Available endpoints (/users) and operations on each endpoint (GET /users, POST /users)

Operation parameters Input and output for each operation

Contact information, license, terms of use and other information

 is a set of open-source tools built around the OpenAPI Specification that can help you design, build, document and consume REST APIs. The major Swagger tools include:

 – browser-based editor where you can write OpenAPI definitions.

 – renders OpenAPI definitions as interactive documentation.

 – generates server stubs and client libraries from an OpenAPI definition.

 – browser-based editor where you can write and review OpenAPI and AsyncAPI definitions.

 – Java-related libraries for creating, consuming, and working with OpenAPI definitions.

 – standalone library for parsing OpenAPI definitions

 – provides a single, unifying structure for describing APIs across various description languages and serialization formats.

The ability of APIs to describe their own structure is the root of all awesomeness in OpenAPI. Once written, an OpenAPI specification and Swagger tools can drive your API development further in various ways:

 for your API. The only thing left is to implement the server logic – and your API is ready to go live!

 that lets your users try out the API calls directly in the browser.

Use the spec to connect API-related tools to your API. For example, import the spec to 

Every API definition must include the version of the OpenAPI Specification that this definition is based on:

The OpenAPI version defines the overall structure of an API definition – what you can document and how you document it. OpenAPI 3.0 uses 

 are 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, and 3.0.3; they are functionally the same.

The info section contains API information: title, description (optional), version:

description: Optional multiline or single-line description in[CommonMark](http://commonmark.org/help/) or HTML.

Digital wallets are becoming more and more popular as we move into the digital age. If you're not familiar with digital wallets, they are essentially a digital way to store your money and other digital assets. You can use digital wallets for a variety of purposes, such as paying for goods and services online, transferring money to other people, or even Just storing your digital money. 

A digital blockchain wallet provides numerous advantages over traditional wallets.

For one, digital blockchain wallets are much more secure since they are decentralized and spread across a network of computers. This makes it virtually impossible for hackers to steal your information or funds.

Another advantage of digital blockchain wallets is that they offer greater privacy. Since your data is not stored in a central location, it is more difficult for third parties to track your transactions.

Finally, digital blockchain wallets are very user-friendly and easy to use. Even if you are not tech-savvy, you can still easily manage your digital blockchain wallet with ease.

There are a few different ways to set up a digital wallet. You can use your social account, email address, or even a hot wallet such as Metamask. In this article, we will show you how to set up a digital wallet using Metamask. First, you will need to create an account with Metamask. Once you have created an account, you will be able to log in and access your digital wallet. You will then be able to add funds to your wallet and start using it right away. Thanks for reading and we hope this article has helped you learn how to set up a digital wallet using Metamask.

Custodial wallets are automatically generated for Social Login users when they perform actions that would require a wallet, but they do not have one connected yet. For creators, this involves minting (publishing) an NFT if they haven’t yet connected a personal (non-custodial) wallet. 

Custodial wallets are also required for anyone who purchases with a credit card on our site, even if they have a personal wallet connected

When you create a digital wallet, you are typically assigned a 12 or 24-word keyphrase. This is your private key that you own and manage. This private key acts as a recovery phrase if you lose your password or are locked out of your wallet for any reason. You must store this key in a safe and secure place. If you lose it, you will lose access to your wallet’s contents forever.

Best practices for storing your private keys:

. Many people never even type their private keys once. The most secure place for a private key is in the “cold storage” of the physical realm where something is offline.

. There is never any reason to give anyone your private key. Don’t do it.

. Don’t lose it or store it in a place where the material on which your private key is written could be compromised.

 anymore acronym. That once known 25+ year old industry coined term has occupied my life since 2000. That terminology to me just doesn’t have that same Mew to it these days. Maybe we just need more "

The new tone of “Identity Governance“(

-Credit to Geoff), is stepping in as the new sheriff of the language marketing game. Kind of like what “Cloud” did with aggregating storage area network clusters with unused parking data spaces. No offense.

In this case it’s acceptable to gently speak that “G” word as it relates to preventing security breaches or the recent cleaver social engineering tactics against Verizon. Incorporating governance of enforcing identity security polices is not commonly practiced while it is being discovered as commonly important.

The basic principles I’m accustomed with is first ensuring a core Identity is bound to personal identifiable information (PII) from an HCM system that can be authorized by a centralized Identity Store. Just create them an easy to remember ID and password then tell them not to share it with anyone. Of course it’s abstracted through a REST Web Service over encrypted and authorization channels - Oracle API Gateway is a cool tool for that!

Secondly, which Steve Jobs would argue as first, is allowing the user to have the ultimate friendly experience with a rich set of self-service controls and of course secure. Ever used online sites that limit the usability with creating “Logins” or “Accounts” to gain access to their site? They may have enforced you to select 1 of many bad questions to answer? Password Reset time…Who can really remember what street their grand-parents grew up or what you did on new years of 2000?

Where’s ole’ SAML 2.0 hiding? It’s still around and kicking while I see the concept of federation dangling, just not the protocol. What’s really become fascinating to watch is how the big social sites are leveraging next generation protocols like 

 for authentication of the “one login” approach. The idea is authenticating your access from third-party identity providers into a remote system (service provider) without traditional credentials like a username/password. It’s really convenient for registration of sites too when you’re not asked to fill in those long sets of questions. What about that dreaded messages “Sorry, that username is in use”? I know…this has been around since 2006 however the “mobility first” mentality has only taken off in the past couple of years. Especially since we now wear them on our wrists to bed to monitor our sleep patterns or to never miss that call again.

Need an easy two factor approach? I personally use a tool called “

” for authentication to my web sites which allows me to never use an ID or Password again. Just enter a 4 digit pin (
