By Pragmatic Web Security. Learn to untangle authentication in Angular applications.
Authentication and session management in Angular applications does not seem that different. But when you take a closer look, you will find yourself surprised. For example, many Angular applications opt for JWT tokens instead of cookies. But did you know that comparing these two makes no sense? Authentication and session management affect not only the frontend but also the backend. When do you need to protect your API against Cross-Site Request Forgery? And how do you deploy a correct Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policy?
Many developers struggle with these questions. In this workshop, we take a close look at common mistakes in Angular applications. Throughout the day, we build up a set of best practices. In the end, you will walk away with the knowledge to make educated decisions about the security of your applications.
