What is this?

AI authentication systems protect predict endpoints with API keys, JWT, or mTLS so models are not public.

Why should you care?

AIPredict fraud API must reject anonymous bulk scoring that enables model probing.

See it live — copy this example

Use a .NET console or Web API project with Microsoft.ML. Run dotnet run after pasting.

builder.Services.AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddJwtBearer();
app.MapPost("/api/fraud/score", (TxRow tx, PredictionEnginePool<TxRow, FraudPred> pool) =>
    Results.Ok(pool.Predict(tx)))
.RequireAuthorization("PredictPolicy");

What happened?

  • RequireAuthorization on MapPost.
  • Policies can scope tenants and rate limits per client id.

Practice next

  1. Add JWT bearer auth.
  2. Define PredictPolicy.
  3. RequireAuthorization on routes.
  4. Add API key for machine clients.
  5. Log client id with each score.

Remember

Auth on predict routes. Policy per role. Rate limit partners.

AIPredict secured API

Partner calls with valid JWT only.

Outcome: Anonymous probing returns 401.
