Course Headline:

Unlock the Secrets of FAPI: Elevate Your Security Game with Cutting-Edge OAuth Extensions! 🛡️

Course Description:

Welcome to the Advanced OAuth Security course, where we delve into the intricacies of Fortified Authentication and Authorization Protocol (FAPI), an essential set of security enhancements for OAuth 2.0! This comprehensive course is designed for cybersecurity enthusiasts and professionals who wish to fortify their applications against modern threats and ensure compliance with the highest industry standards.

Why Enroll in This Course?

• You've got a solid understanding of the basics of OAuth.
• You're looking to take your knowledge to the next level.
• You want to ensure the systems you're building are up to industry standards in security.
• You want to deepen your understanding of application security and become a technical leader.

Prerequisites:

Before diving into the complex world of FAPI, you should:

• Understand HTTP requests, responses, and JSON.
• Have a basic understanding of JSON Web Tokens (JWT).
• Be familiar with the OAuth authorization code flow.

Course Content Breakdown:

Part 1: Introduction to FAPI and Security Goals

We'll start by setting the stage with an overview of the OAuth authorization code flow and the security goals that FAPI aims to achieve. You'll learn about the types of attacks we need to defend against, laying a solid foundation for what's to come. 📚

Part 2: Securing the Front Channel

This part focuses on protecting the initial communication between the client and authorization server. We'll tackle:

• Authorization code injection attacks
• PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange)
• Authorization server mixup attacks
• Pushed Authorization Requests (PAR)

Part 3: Securing the Back Channel

Moving to the back channel, we'll explore the nuances of:

• Mutual TLS (mTLS) for client authentication
• Private Key JWT for a more robust alternative

Part 4: Proof-of-Possolence (Sender-Constraining Access Tokens)

Learn how to use Mutual TLS and DPoP to ensure that the party presenting an access token actually holds it, adding a layer of security called "proof of possession."

Part 5: Achieving Non-Repudiation

In this final section, we'll discuss strategies for non-repudiation throughout each leg of the OAuth flow, ensuring that all parties involved can trust the integrity and authenticity of the communication.

By the end of this course, you will have a deep understanding of FAPI and its extensions, enabling you to design and implement secure OAuth flows in your applications. With the knowledge gained, you'll be well-equipped to protect against sophisticated cyber threats and to stand out as an expert in the field of application security.

Join us on this journey to master Advanced OAuth Security and fortify your applications with the robustness they deserve! 💪✨
