Great question! I've been looking into this as well. I think OAuth for authentication and authorization is a good starting point.

You can consider using Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) or software-based solutions like HashiCorp's Vault.

I agree with John. Also, make sure to use HTTPS and consider using service meshes, like Istio, for mutual TLS authentication.

Don't forget about testing! Contract testing can help you ensure that each microservice functions correctly in isolation and in relation to other services.
