In this course, you will learn the basics of modern authentication using the ASP.NET Core identity library and learn to the specific business needs. While perfect security is arguably impossible to achieve, we will explore a variety of techniques that help in ensuring security as well as maintaining the ease of use of the system. Identity Core is a flagship library packaged with ASP.NET Core projects that helps in securing ASP.NET applications using features such as authentication, role management, and so on. . Getting authentication and authorization done right in your website can help keep your users and their data safe from attacks. Added features such as Two and Multi-Factor Authentication are relatively easy to plug in and this library can easily be extended to implement unique business rules. Even though the fundamentals of the security principles will be demonstrated with a Razor pages application, all the techniques and considerations can be taken in any ASP.NET Core application type, including MVC and Blazor. By the time you have finished the course, you will have moved around in Visual Studio and examined logic and syntax errors so much, that it will be second nature for you when working in the .NET environment.
