Spring Security

Part 1: Fundamentals of Application Security

This part delves into the foundational aspects of application security, laying the groundwork for understanding potential vulnerabilities. We embark on a comprehensive exploration of application security using Spring Security. This part introduces you to the process of conducting a security audit on a hypothetical calendar application. Through this audit, we uncover common security vulnerabilities and lay the groundwork for implementing robust security measures.

Building upon this foundation, this part guides you through the installation and configuration of Spring Security. We start with a basic "Hello World" example, gradually customizing Spring Security to suit the specific needs of our application.

We will also delve deeper into the authentication process within Spring Security. By customizing key components of the authentication infrastructure, we address real-world authentication challenges and gain a comprehensive understanding of Spring Security’s authentication mechanisms. Through practical examples and hands-on exercises, we learn how to integrate custom authentication solutions seamlessly into our applications.

This part has the following chapters:

Key benefits

  • Architect solutions that leverage Spring Security while remaining loosely coupled
  • Implement authentication and authorization with SAML2, OAuth 2, hashing, and encryption algorithms
  • Integrate Spring Security with technologies such as microservices, Kubernetes, the cloud, and GraalVM native images
  • Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Description

With experienced hackers constantly targeting apps, properly securing them becomes challenging when you integrate this factor with legacy code, new technologies, and other frameworks. Written by a Lead Cloud and Security Architect as well as CISSP, this book helps you easily secure your Java apps with Spring Security, a trusted and highly customizable authentication and access control framework. The book shows you how to implement different authentication mechanisms and properly restrict access to your app. You’ll learn to integrate Spring Security with popular web frameworks like Thymeleaf and Microservice and Cloud services like Zookeeper and Eureka, along with architecting solutions that leverage its full power while staying loosely coupled. You’ll also see how Spring Security defends against session fixation, moves into concurrency control, and how you can use session management for administrative functions. This fourth edition aligns with Java 17/21 and Spring Security 6, covering advanced security scenarios for RESTful web services and microservices. This ensures you fully understand the issues surrounding stateless authentication and discover a concise approach to solving those issues. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to integrate Spring Security 6 with GraalVM native images seamlessly, from start to finish.

Who is this book for?

If you’re a Java web developer or an architect with fundamental knowledge of Java 17/21, web services, and the Spring Framework, this book is for you. No previous experience with Spring Security is needed to get started with this book.

What you will learn

  • Understand common security vulnerabilities and how to resolve them
  • Implement authentication and authorization and learn how to map users to roles
  • Integrate Spring Security with LDAP, Kerberos, SAML 2, OpenID, and OAuth
  • Get to grips with the security challenges of RESTful web services and microservices
  • Configure Spring Security to use Spring Data for authentication
  • Integrate Spring Security with Spring Boot, Spring Data, and web applications
  • Protect against common vulnerabilities like XSS, CSRF, and Clickjacking

Besides testing, security and authentication is definitely my weakest point 😮‍💨, and since I'm generally bothered by not being good at things 😒, I've been actively trying lately to get better at it.One of the ways I'm trying to achieve this is by purposely working on tasks in areas that I would like to improve in. Unfortunately, the project I'm currently working on is using a different tech stack than what I'm used to 🫤, and since I'd obviously like to get better working with my own tech stack as well, I decided to dive into "Spring Security". 😊So one of the first things that the book covers that I found useful is the different authentication methods. This section helped me to prepare a Confluence document to go over with the dev team so we could make a decision on which authentication method to use for our project.Another thing I found really useful was that the book explains the pros and cons of using 'SecurityContextHolder', 'UserDetailsService', and 'AuthenticationProvider'. It explains the use cases for each one (Yay! I'm learning about use cases! 😁🥳😅), like whether you're looking for simplicity or need more advanced features like remember-me services.Technically, I'm already familiar with most of those things because I learned how to implement them when I was in bootcamp. But to be honest, the bootcamp was really in-depth up until we started learning about security, and then it was kinda just like "Here's some snippets of code. Put this in such-and-such class". 😕 So it's a good thing that the book also walks you through adding, configuring, and implementing a custom 'UserDetailsService'.I also got a deep dive into OAuth 2 which previously, I honestly knew nothing about. 🥴😅 The book shows how to set up your own OAuth 2 application and explains the architecture behind it, which was great for a complete n00b like me. 🥴🤣😂It also went into the advanced features of Spring Security, like protection against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and other common vulnerabilities (which was great because the whole CSRF thing consistently kicks my ass every time I have to link a backend to a frontend for a full stack application 😭🤣😂💀☠️). So I was pretty grateful for this section.The book also details how to configure security headers and goes into setting up security filter chains and using JWTs for securing endpoints. This part was especially helpful since JWT is what I'm most familiar with.The section on password encoding was definitely helpful because I'm a dunce when it comes to that too. 🥴😅 Thankfully, the book guides you on how to use PasswordEncoders for different security needs.Honestly, I think this book is a great resource for anyone who struggles with understanding Spring Security and I'd definitely recommend it! 👌🏽
