Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) Protection

Zero-Trust API Architecture is a security model based on the principle of "never trust, always verify." Every API request—whether originating outside the perimeter or between microservices—must be strictly authenticated, authorized, encrypted, and validated before execution.

Edge Secret Injection is a security pattern where sensitive upstream API credentials (e.g. Stripe Secret Keys, OpenAI Tokens) are stored in an encrypted vault and injected into HTTP request headers exclusively at the edge runtime, ensuring client browsers and mobile apps never see or store the keys.

A Reverse Proxy is an intermediate server that intercepts requests from client applications and forwards them to one or more backend origin servers. The reverse proxy terminates TLS, applies security filtering, caches responses, and returns the result to the client as if it originated from the proxy itself.

To solve strip sensitive fields from user profile api before returning to client, never execute unauthenticated requests or embed private tokens directly in client bundles. RealComposer acts as a sub-10ms edge gateway running on Cloudflare Workers that securely injects credentials from your Secret Vault, normalizes responses, and prevents unauthorized API usage. Route calls through your RealComposer edge URL to guarantee complete privacy, robust origin validation, and low mobile latency.
