This book will serve as a practical companion for you to learn about common vulnerabilities when using RESTful services, and will provide you with an indispensable knowledge of the tools you can use to implement and test security on your applications.

Secure your RESTful applications against common vulnerabilities

Overview

Learn how to use, configure, and set up tools for applications that use RESTful web services to prevent misuse of resources
Get to know and fix the most common vulnerabilities of RESTful web services APIs
A step-by-step guide portraying the importance of securing a RESTful web service with simple examples applied to real-world scenarios
In Detail

It will cover the fine details of setting up RESTful services such as implementing RESTEasy and securing transmission protocols such as the OAuth protocol and its integration with RESTEasy. Furthermore, it also explains the implementation of digital signatures and the integration of the Doseta framework with RESTEasy.

With this book, you will be able to design your own security implementation or use a protocol to grant permissions over your RESTful applications with OAuth. You will also gain knowledge about the working of other features such as configuring and verifying HTTP and HTTPS protocols, certificates, and securing protocols for data transmission. By the end of this book, you will have comprehensive knowledge that will help you to detect and solve vulnerabilities.
