Securing REST API for Web Applications and Services

Standardize JWT for Security (Access) Token

Explore the structure and security practices of JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to securely authenticate users in REST APIs. Understand the differences between stateful and stateless designs, identify common JWT vulnerabilities, and learn validation techniques to mitigate risks and improve access control.

We'll cover the following...

There are two modes we can use while designing an application using REST APIs. These modes are used to pass the information from client to server, and vice versa.

  1. Stateful mode, so that we can pass some key critical information in our current session.
  2. Stateless mode, meaning we do not use sessions to store or pass any information between client and server. JSON Web Token (JWT) is a secure
