What you'll learn

Unreliable or missing authentication puts your Java applications at risk of impersonation, data breaches, and lost trust. In this course, Secure Authentication for Java Applications, you’ll learn to implement secure and flexible login flows. First, you’ll explore TLS and session management to keep user data private and prevent session hijacking. Next, you’ll discover how to adopt stateless flows through X.509 certificates and JWT to protect distributed architectures.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of authentication in Java needed to protect your users and systems confidently.
