Knowing that experienced hackers are itching to test your skills makes security one of the most difficult and high-pressured concerns of creating an application. The complexity of properly securing an application is compounded when you must also integrate this factor with legacy code, new technologies, and other frameworks. This book will help you easily secure your Java applications with the trusted Spring Security, a powerful and highly customizable authentication and access control framework. The book starts by integrating a variety of authentication mechanisms before demonstrating how to properly restrict access to your application. It also covers tips on integrating with some of the more popular web frameworks. An example of how Spring Security defends against session fixation, moves into concurrency control, and how you can utilize session management for administrative functions is also included. This fourth edition aligns with Java 17/21 and Spring Security 6, covering advanced security scenarios for RESTful web services and microservices, detailing the issues surrounding stateless authentication, and demonstrating a concise approach to solving those issues. By the end of the book, you can rest assured knowing that integrating version 6 of Spring Security with GraalVM native images will be a seamless endeavor from start to finish.
