Securing Spring Data REST APIs

Good data stewardship is essential for REST APIs. It is essential to understand who is asking for your data and whether they have been authorized. Spring Security can help. This course, Spring Data Security REST APIs, will teach you how to authenticate and authorize Spring REST APIs. You will first learn what HTTP Basic does and doesn't do. Next, OAuth 2.0 will be introduced. This will include Bearer Token Authentication with JWTs and Opaque Tokens. Finally, how to map these tokens to authorized authorities. You will also learn how to manage token ingress/egress using API Gateway, CORS, BFF and other patterns. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect REST APIs.
