Durability guarantees that once a transaction is committed, it remains so, even in the event of system failures.

It works by sending a user's credentials (username and password) encoded in base64 format within the HTTP header. When a client makes a request to a server requiring authentication, the server responds with a 401 status code and a "WWW-Authenticate" header. The client then resends the request with the Authorization header containing the word "Basic" followed by the base64-encoded string of "username:password". While easy to implement, Basic Authentication has significant security limitations: credentials are essentially sent in plain text (base64 is easily decoded), and it doesn't provide any encryption. Therefore, it should only be used over HTTPS connections to ensure the credentials are protected during transmission. Due to its simplicity and lack of advanced security features, Basic Authentication is generally recommended only for simple, low-risk scenarios or as a fallback mechanism. +Basic Authentication sends base64-encoded username:password in HTTP headers.
