Chris Lewis enhanced the security and authentication mechanisms of the companieshouse/psc-data-api over a two-month period, focusing on robust access control for sensitive PSC data. He implemented API Key and OAuth2 authentication using Java and Spring Boot, centralizing credential validation through interceptors and helpers to streamline authorization logic. By unifying FullRecord endpoint access and removing specialized OAuth2 conditions, Chris simplified the authentication surface and improved data consistency for authenticated users. His work included comprehensive integration and unit testing, addressing vulnerabilities and strengthening the API’s security posture. These changes resulted in safer, more maintainable backend operations and reliable security testing coverage.
