Authenticating API Requests

To maintain the Niobi payment system security and integrity, users are required to sign their request messages using their private key. By following these steps, you'll learn how to make a signature for your message and how Niobi checks that signature to make sure it's really from you. If the signature doesn't check out, Niobi won't accept the message.
