Course details

APIs are a crucial business driver for delivering data to your applications. In this course, learn about various options for securing your RESTful API that can help you keep your application data—and your users—safe. Instructor Emmanuel Henri begins the course with an overview of top security threats and an introduction to the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), an important resource on security. He then steps through how to set up and secure a Node and Express API, including how to add handlers for registration and login, finalize secured endpoints, and test your finalized API. To wrap up, he shares a few alternatives for securing APIs.

    For a course on securing APIs I'm not sure why the login method would tell a would be attacker what they got wrong. The error message for both conditional branches (not found and compare failed) should be "Authentication failed.". You're only taking in two pieces of information; an email address and a password, when you say tell the would be attacker that the user cannot be found you're providing them a mechanism to probe for registered accounts which they can then use in social engineering attacks, spam, etc.

    A good continuation of the other course related to building an API interaction. It's interesting to have a glimpse of how things like Logins are actually done.
