There's no good reason for signing webhooks
- mfbx9da4 2y agoHey, author here. Pleasure to work on this article. I'd welcome strong opinions :-)
- wlockiv 2y agoI think it's fair to describe the need for signing as a lemming. However, I wonder why the initial evangelists of this standard (that is, in our current post-http era) chose signing instead of API Keys. So often these kinds of things are a reaction to some negative experience.
- mfbx9da4 2y agoI would be curious too. I think it comes down to the benefits are there and they're cheap enough that they may as well recommend a more secure approach.
