Practical Bootcamp JWT Authentication with Java & SpringBoot

JWT(Json web token) is a standard for securing API’s in a Microservices architecture, using this standard we can secure API’s built in any technology like Nodejs, Python, .NET etc but in this course we will building API’s using Java and SpringBoot and than we will be securing them using JWT and Spring security, we will also use all the industry best practices and standards along the way.

We will start with learning concepts like:

What is Authentication

What is Authorization

Importance of securing RESTful API’s

What is JWT(Json Web Token)

Various components and terminology associated with JWT

Workflow and a diagramatic use case of using JWT

Than we will move on to the actual handson and implementation of JWT in our Springboot project by following below steps:

Create springboot project from scratch

Adding required maven dependencies

Setup project in Github and follow continous integration process

Setting up database and establishing connection

Create our Hibernate entity classes

Create our controller class

Create the first API

Start configuring JWT and Spring security

Create security related classes like configuartion, filters, service

Making the secret and expiration time configurable

Configuring the allowed and not allowed endpoints

Creating user registration and login endpoints

Creating Role based classes
