Secure ASP.NET Core Authentication with JWT and Cookies

Developing secure web applications is paramount, and robust user authentication is the first line of defense. This course provides a clear, step-by-step guide to implementing secure authentication mechanisms in your ASP.NET Core projects. By the end of this course, you will be proficient in designing and integrating both JSON Web Token (JWT) and cookie-based authentication systems, empowering you to build secure and trustworthy applications. What you'll learn: * Understand fundamental authentication concepts, including identity, claims, and principles. * Implement JWT-based authentication for stateless APIs and modern single-page applications. * Configure secure cookie-based authentication for traditional server-rendered web applications. * Apply best practices for managing authentication state, including refresh tokens and secure cookie attributes. * Integrate authorization policies with your authentication setup in ASP.NET Core. This course begins with essential security terminology and authentication flows, then progresses to practical, hands-on implementation of JWT and cookie strategies within ASP.NET Core, culminating in securing various application types. This course is designed for absolute beginners with basic programming knowledge who want to build secure web applications using ASP.NET Core. Start building secure authentication systems today.
