Division API security

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Communication with the API Gateway will be secured via an API Key. Each service provider will have a specific API Key. This key will allow to secure the communication (encryption of the channel) and to know which service provider is sending data (authentication).

API Keys will be available on a dedicated back-office web application. Each service provider will generate his key on the web application, download it and install on its premises.
