CXF based security other than basic

Hi guys,

I need to add security to a JAX-RS http API based on CXF.

In the past i've used basic authentication with CXF Security
interceptors/filters

But now i don't like the idea of only base64-enciode credentials and would
want something more robust.

I know there a lot of work has been done in security area ...

May you suggest me a reliable solution suitable to be implemented with CXF
without a tremendous effort?

I am using CXF 2.7.8.

Thanks in advance,
