Implementing Authentication and Authorization in ASP.NET Web API v2.
Implementing Authentication and Authorization in ASP.NET Web API v2.
The main feature focus of ASP.NET Web API v2 was security. There's a brand new authentication system and support for popular authentication methods, like OAuth2 tokens, that is already built-in. Additionally, it is now much easier to use Web APIs from JavaScript clients and the new security extensibility gives you powerful features to integrate your APIs in arbitrary security systems.
Basically a Web API is an application programming interface for either a web server or a web browser. It's a framework for building HTTP-based services that are accessible in different apps and on different platforms.
In Web API version 1 security was mainly based on hosting specific features. In Web API v2 there's a completely new hosting infrastructure, new authentication infrastructure, and a lot of options around authorization, including token-based authentication and dual authorization.
This course is for anyone who wants to learn how to use Web API v2 and secure your APIs against attacks with effective authentication and authorization.
This is an intermediate level course, so it assumes some prior experience with ASP.NET and in building and working with APIs. JavaScript and web dev skills will also help speed up the learning curve.
