## 14.7. Security Considerations

As for other OAuth 2.0 applications, you must protect messages going across the network. OpenID Connect 1.0 requires Transport Layer Security (TLS). The chapter on Managing Certificates includes some discussion of protecting traffic in the container where OpenAM runs. Also see the documentation for your web application container.

Also take into account the points developed in the section on Security Considerations in the OpenID Connect Messages draft specification.
