That's really not a question, Henrik.  It's a discussion topic <smile>.  
"Security" as in what?  Authentication?  Authorization?  For thin client 
EGL uses JSF which has a robust security framework.  For REST 
communications the simplest method is HTTPS.  Is there something above 
that which you need?  Because to me REST is typically used to 
communicate between tiers of an application rather than to external 
consumers.  Externally I would use SOAP, which also has very robust 
security.

I guess I'm asking "what is the business requirement" and "what are we 
comparing it to"?
