Description

APIs power everything from mobile apps to large-scale web platforms. But designing secure and efficient APIs requires a deep understanding of authentication and authorization techniques. This course is your ultimate guide to mastering API design while implementing industry-standard security measures.In this course, you'll learn:The principles of effective API design that ensure scalability and maintainability.Core authentication methods, including Basic Authentication, Sessions Management, and the widely-used JWT (JSON Web Tokens).Advanced authorization techniques, such as OAuth 2.0, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC).How to safeguard APIs against common vulnerabilities like token hijacking and session fixation.Packed with practical examples and real-world scenarios, this course will equip you with the skills to design APIs that developers love and businesses trust. Whether you're a beginner looking to build your first API or an experienced developer aiming to enhance your security practices, this course will provide the tools you need.You’ll also explore best practices for implementing APIs and monitoring to keep your applications reliable and secure. By the end, you'll confidently design, authenticate, and authorize APIs for web and mobile applications with modern frameworks and proven strategies.Start your journey to becoming an API design expert today!
