The New Firebase Security API
Blog post from Firebase
Firebase introduced a Security API intended to let developers build secure real-time applications in which clients access Firebase directly, often without requiring server-side code. The API combines flexible authentication methods, including server-signed tokens, Firebase Simple Login, and third-party providers, with centrally managed Firebase Rules that control read, write, and data-validation permissions. Written as JavaScript-like expressions and stored as JSON, rules can use database data, incoming values, authentication credentials, and server time to enforce permissions and schemas consistently at scale, while supporting static analysis and predictable performance. Firebase also highlighted security implementation measures such as SSL, 2048-bit certificate keys, SHA256 HMAC token signing, BCrypt password storage, and JSON Web Tokens. Alongside the API, it launched a rules debugger called Forge, a security simulator for testing authentication and data operations, and firebase.github.io for reusable examples, libraries, and code snippets.
