Digital threats emerge every day around the world. This course will help you build REST APIs with minimal vulnerabilities.

This course diligently crafts the security design around the REST API and gears you up to a Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC). You’ll learn REST security from start to finish. This includes client and server rendering, the architectural constraints of REST, SSL/TLS/X.509 certificates, choosing the right TLS protocol, version, ciphers, forward secrecy, and the seven tenets of Zero Trust. You’ll also learn how and where to position access control in monolithic and microservices. You’ll also learn to make your application stateless using JWT, and learn the nuances of JWT security, how to put input validation to good use, choosing the right HTTP method to use, and the best practices for various content types.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build your next REST API and be confident in its security as measured by the common vulnerability scoring system (CVSS3.1).
