Event Push Notification Authenticity

Hi folks,

Checking to see if there's a way for us to confirm that the communication to our server is authentic.

I understand I can use basic authentication, but assuming those credentials are compromised, is there another way?

I was wondering if the "customer[id]" that's passed is something we can decrypt. Or is it just an internal CheddarGetter code?

Thank you,

Rahul

    You can use the customer id to do a customer data lookup. Since a UUID is virtually impossible to guess or spoof, I'd say that's a pretty reliable method.

    So simple.

    Thank you.
