[Juan Riaza][juanriaza] maintains the [djangorestframework-digestauth][djangorestframework-digestauth] package which provides HTTP digest authentication support for REST framework. - ## JSON Web Token Authentication JSON Web Token is a fairly new standard which can be used for token-based authentication.
