Building a Secure API - Introduction (Part 1)

API security doesn't have to be confusing if you build it in from the start.

Building a secure API doesn't have to be difficult if you build it that way from the start. This course will guide you through the creation of a simple REST API that could be used for a new application or to add on to an existing one. Secure thinking is an important part of any development. Join me as I introduce you to some of the basic concepts around the API including:

  • Revokable API keys
  • HMAC hashing for message integrity
  • Working with middleware
  • Defining the login flow

Tools that will be used in the series are also introduced along with basic examples of them in use including Phinx and Eloquent for database handling and the Slim Framework for request/response handling.
