Secure your RESTful APIs with confidence and efficiency. This straightforward guide outlines the essential strategies and best practices for protecting sensitive data when developing RESTful APIs for your applications.
Inside, you’ll explore the fundamental functionalities to implement industry-standard authentication authorization mechanisms for Java applications. With chapters covering key security concerns, data protection, and designing and testing secure APIs, this book provides a hands-on approach to protecting user data, validating inputs, and implementing security mechanisms such as JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and OAuth2 authentication.
This book offers a focused introduction without unnecessary complexity. Whether you are a beginner or busy professional, this is the only book designed to help you secure your RESTful APIs in no time.
RESTful APIs are a common method for enabling communication between different software systems. As these Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) often handle sensitive data and critical operations, securing them is paramount. This section covers key strategies and best practices for securing RESTful APIs.
This book is for RESTful APIs beginner developers who want to learn about applying security when developing REST APIs applications. It will be a practical pocket guide and help developers understand how to develop and deploy security when dealing with RESTful APIs for authentication and authorization, data protection, threat detection and prevention, etc. This book is a tutorial and reference that guides you through the implementation of the security features for a Java web application by presenting consistent solutions to security issues with RESTful APIs. This book explores a comprehensive set of functionalities to implement industry-standard authentication and authorization mechanisms for Java applications, providing examples on how to develop customized RESTful APIs secure apps dealing with data validation, JSON Web Token (JWT), and Open Authorization 2.0 (OAuth 2.0).
Prerequisites:
The examples in this book are all built with Java 17+ and Maven 3.9.9. Spring Security 6 was the version used throughout the book. You are free to use your own tools and operating system. Because everything is Java based, you should be able to compile your programs on any platform without problems.
