When ensuring that third-party APIs communicate securely with OCI resources, the appropriate authentication option is API Signing Key.
API Signing Key: This method uses an RSA key pair to authenticate and sign API requests. The API signing key provides a secure and reliable way to ensure that the API requests to OCI are coming from an authorized source. It is commonly used for programmatic access to OCI services.
Other Options:
SSH Key Pair: Primarily used for secure shell access to compute instances, not for API authentication.
Auth Tokens: Typically used for authentication in environments where APIs don't support the API Signing Key, such as OCI CLI or SDKs.
OCI Username and Password: Generally used for the Console login, not for securing API communications.
