REST API Security with Java Spring Boot - What & How

🛡 REST API Security with Java Spring Boot - What & How 🛡

Course Overview:

In this comprehensive 12+ hours course, Timotius Pamungkas will guide you through the critical aspects of REST API security using Java Spring Boot. You'll gain a deep understanding of how to protect your APIs from common threats and vulnerabilities, ensuring your data remains secure and your services are resilient against attacks.

What You Will Learn:

• The Importance of API Security: Understand the significance of securing your API and the potential risks if neglected.
• API Threats and Prevention: Learn about common API threats such as SQL Injection, XSS, and DoS attacks, and how to effectively prevent them.
• Hands-On Implementation: Instead of just theoretical knowledge, this course focuses on practical, hands-on implementation of security measures within Java Spring Boot.
• Prerequisites for the Course: To fully benefit from this course, you should have a solid understanding of writing REST APIs and database transactions using Spring Boot.

Curriculum Highlights:

1. Securing Against SQL Injection and XSS: Learn how to safeguard your API against these two prevalent threats through proper input validation, parameterized queries, and secure coding practices.
2. Encryption & Hashing: Understand the essentials of encoding, encryption, or hashing within Java Spring Boot applications to protect sensitive data.
3. Authentication Methods: Explore various authentication methods including basic authentication, cookie-based authentication, and the modern JWT token (including encrypted JWE).
4. OAuth2 with Okta: Implement OAuth2 for secure authorization with Okta, and set up multi-factor authentication using Google Authenticator and email verification within less than one hour.
5. Frontend Security: Protect your frontend applications (HTML/ReactJS) from potential threats by implementing security best practices.
6. CORS Configuration: Learn how to handle Cross Origin Resource Sharing to ensure secure web API interactions across different domains.
7. Access Control Lists (ACLs): Understand and implement ACLs for fine-grained resource access control in your Java Spring Boot applications.

Course Features:

• Real-World Scenarios: Engage with practical examples that address real-world security challenges.
• Comprehensive Coverage: From the basics of API security to advanced topics like JWT, JWE, and OAuth2, this course covers it all.
• Frontend Security: Don't just secure your backend; also protect your frontend applications against a variety of threats.
• Free Updates Forever: Get lifetime access to any updates made to the course content, ensuring you stay up-to-date with the latest security practices.

Important Notes:

• Spring Boot Version: The current version used in this course is 2.x. Spring Boot 3.0.0 was released on November 1, 2022, and while an update to the course is planned, it will take some time. In the meantime, the course is fully compatible with Spring Boot 2.x.
• Compatibility with Spring Boot 3.x: For those using Spring Boot 3.x, most of the course content should work as is, but minor adjustments may be necessary. The instructor is committed to updating the course content and providing guidance on these adjustments.
