Security services are a set of predefined and predeployed REST services from Oracle Application Object Library. These services include Authentication and Authorization services and are used for mobile applications.
For example, Login service validates the user credentials and returns an access token. Logout service invalidates the access token and any associated authentication sessions. These two services are included in the Authentication service that helps session initialization with security or applications context information. Authorization service retrieves the Access Control List which may contain assigned responsibilities, roles, and privileges for all logged-in users.
For more information about these REST security services, refer to the Oracle E-Business Suite Security Guide.
