Securing a JavaScript REST API with JSON Web Tokens

Secured routes and authorization are often difficult tasks for server-side JavaScript applications. This course, Securing JavaScript REST API using JSON Web Tokens, will teach you how to use JWT (also known as JOT) to transfer claims between two people. You'll first learn how to protect server-side REST API endpoints against unauthorized access and data manipulation. Next, you will learn how JSON Web Tokens can be signed, sent, validated, and generated by servers. You'll also learn about security concerns, how to minimize risk, and tradeoffs in storing JWT. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to create and deliver robust RESTful APIs within the JavaScript ecosystem.
