Securing the Login Process

Gigya Socialize supports a mechanism to verify the authenticity of the login process. To prevent fraud, Gigya "signs" the authentication process with a cryptographic signature.

Your site will receive the cryptographic signature provided by Gigya in the login method's callback function as part of the response object (please refer to the Response object Data Members table below).

We highly recommend verifying the authenticity of the signature to prove that it is indeed originating from Gigya, rather than somewhere else.

To learn more about this subject, please refer to the Cryptographic Signatures section in the Security page of the Developer's Guide.
