colab-api-signature v2.0.3

#http-signature

This application exists to abstract out the signing method for api.colab and its services/middlewares. It's a simple signing method that authenticates the syndication server(s) to the data sources, without the need for IP whitelisting or anything ugly like that.

##Method

Currently using an RSA-SHA512 signature generated from the private key of api.colab's ssl Cert. The public key is included in this repository (and should be appropriately updated yearly) and is used to verify each request. Both rely on node's internal crypto library.
