+title: 🔒 Security Helpers
+sidebar_position: 8
+---
+
+Fiber provides helper functions for common security tasks like extracting API keys or credentials from a request.
+These utilities can be used with your middleware or handlers.
+
+## API Key helpers
+
+```go
+import "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/security"
+
+func handler(c fiber.Ctx) error {
+    key, err := security.APIKeyHeader(c, "X-API-Key")
+    if err != nil {
+        return err
+    }
+    // use key
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+Available helpers:
+
+- `APIKeyCookie(c fiber.Ctx, name string)`
+- `APIKeyHeader(c fiber.Ctx, header string)`
+- `APIKeyQuery(c fiber.Ctx, name string)`
+
+Each returns the key or `fiber.ErrUnauthorized` when the key is missing.
+
+```go
+// Cookie
+key, _ := security.APIKeyCookie(c, "session")
+
+// Query parameter
+key, _ = security.APIKeyQuery(c, "api_key")
+```
+
+## Authorization helpers
+
+```go
+cred, err := security.GetAuthorizationCredentials(c)
+```
+
+Use `HTTPBearer`, `HTTPBasic`, or `HTTPDigest` to parse common Authorization schemes.
+
+```go
+bearer, err := security.HTTPBearer(c)
+```
+
+```go
+user, err := security.HTTPBasic(c)
+```
+
+```go
+digest, err := security.HTTPDigest(c)
+```
+
+`HTTPBasic` returns `HTTPBasicCredentials` containing the parsed username and password.
