Digest Authorization Block

Basic Authorization is like writing your password on a postcard and mailing it to the server. Sure, it's encoded in Base64, but that's just putting a mustache and glasses on your password - everyone still recognizes it!

Authorization Digest is like a spy proving they know the secret code by showing they can solve the puzzle, without ever revealing the code itself!
