Design and develop Spring applications that are secure right from the start.
In Spring Security in Action, Second Edition you will learn essential security skills including how to:
Implement and customize authentication and authorization
Set up all components of an OAuth 2/OpenID Connect system
Utilize CRSF and CORS configurations
Secure Spring reactive applications
Write tests for security configurations
Spring Security in Action, Second Edition is a revised version of the bestselling original, fully updated for Spring Boot 3 and Oauth2/OpenID Connect. This new edition covers the latest patterns for application-level security in Spring apps, demonstrating how Spring Security simplifies every step of the security process. Code samples and useful real-world examples give you hands-on experience of protecting your apps from common threats such as injection attacks and poor monitoring.
About the technology:
Spring Security is essential for any Java developer looking to master authentication and authorization in Spring apps. By adopting "secure by design" principles with Spring Security's out-of-the-box features, you can protect your apps from data theft and unauthorized intrusions.
About the book:
Spring Security in Action, Second Edition reveals the Spring Security techniques and tools you need to defend your apps against attack. In this book, author Laurentiu Spilca, a skilled Java and Spring developer, will teach you how to build your own authorization server, manage system users, configure secure endpoints, and prevent cross-site scripting and request forgery attacks. This new second edition delves into the OAuth 2/OpenID Connect stack and details SecurityFilterChain for security configuration. Don't let security be an afterthought. Start protecting your apps from the first line of code!
Security is paramount in software development, and integrating it from the onset is essential. Spring Security in Action, Second Edition dives deeply into using Spring Security to infuse application-level security into your projects. Mastery of Spring Security and its correct application is indispensable for every developer. Delving into an application's construction without this knowledge is a risk too great to take.
Spring Security is the primary choice for implementing application-level security in Spring applications. Generally, its purpose is to offer you a highly customizable way of implementing authentication, authorization, and protection against common attacks. Spring Security is open source software released under the Apache 2.0 license. You can access its source code on GitHub. I highly recommend that you contribute to the project as well. You can use Spring Security for both standard web servlets and reactive applications, as well as non-web apps. In this book, we'll use Spring Security with the latest Java long-term supported, Spring, and Spring Boot versions (Java 21, Spring 6, and Spring Boot 3). However, all the book's examples also work with Java 17, the previous long-term supported version.
About the reader:
For experienced Java and Spring developers. All examples in this book use Java. Given the widespread adoption of Java in the Spring ecosystem, it's assumed readers have a working knowledge of it. However, while some professionals might use languages like Kotlin, the foundation remains similar. The examples can be conveniently adapted to Kotlin if desired.
