Webhooks enable real-time communication between applications but create risks including data tampering, spoofing, denial-of-service attacks, and replayed requests, making layered security and reliability controls important. HMAC signature validation, using a securely managed shared secret and timing-safe comparisons, is presented as the primary method for confirming request authenticity and payload integrity, while timestamps can further limit replay attacks. Reliable delivery depends on sender-side retries with exponential backoff, jitter, retry limits, and dead-letter queues, combined with receiver-side idempotency keys to prevent duplicate actions. For sensitive KYC and compliance-related events, recommended protections include HTTPS, optional payload encryption, data minimization, strict storage and access controls, auditing, and monitoring. The proposed architecture also favors dedicated endpoints, rate limiting, centralized secret management, and asynchronous queue-based processing to improve resilience, scalability, and protection against abuse.
