  • ×OAuth or JWT authentication flows
  • ×Setting up webhook delivery infrastructure on the sender side
Expects

A webhook integration scenario with specific provider (Stripe, GitHub, etc.) and security requirements including signature scheme details and threat model.

Returns

Complete webhook security implementation with HMAC verification code, replay prevention logic, idempotency patterns, and secret rotation procedures.
