Message publishing flow via PubSub proxy with Google Cloud

Securing message flows is pivotal in distributed systems. This sequence diagram provides a clear path of:

• Authentication checks: Confirms user sessions and token validity, ensuring secure interactions.
• Token management: Details the generation and caching of access tokens to minimize redundant authorizations.
• PubSub integration: Outlines the role of PubSub proxy in message distribution, maintaining a loose coupling between services.
• Access controls: Depicts validation of access control lists (ACLs) for fine-grained permissions management.

​

• Designing microservices architectures: Ideal for systems where independent services communicate through asynchronous messaging.
• Implementing OAuth flows: Useful when incorporating OAuth token validation in service-to-service communication.
• Securing service interactions: When you need a pattern for secure message exchange between clients and backend services.

​

1. Start editing: Clone the sequence diagram to guide your implementation of a secure message flow.
2. Customize diagram: Refine the message paths and add more granular steps or services according to your security and architectural requirements.
3. Customize layout: Organize the components and interactions to reflect your own system's workflow.
4. Collect feedback: Encourage peer review to ensure a comprehensive understanding and identification of potential security gaps.
