Authentication on the web

Running web services safely on public interfaces is itself challenge and a lot of things need to be taken care of. While many details fall within the job description of a security engineer, developers should adhere to at least a minimum set of best practices so they rightfully earn the trust of their users. At the start, there is transport encryption (TLS), which is something we did not include in any recipes in this chapter since reverse proxies and load balancers provide amazing and simple integration for this (and let's encrypt: https://letsencrypt.org/ provides free certificates). This chapter focuses on using the actix-web middleware infrastructure to authenticate requests via JWT (https://jwt.io/) at the application layer.

Claus Matzinger

Claus Matzinger

Claus Matzinger is a software engineer with a very diverse background. After working in a small company maintaining code for embedded devices, he joined a large corporation to work on legacy Smalltalk applications. This led to a great interest in programming languages early on, and Claus became the CTO for a health games start-up based on Scala technology. Since then, Claus' roles have shifted toward customer-facing roles in the IoT database-technology start-up crate.io and, most recently, Microsoft. There, he hosts a podcast, writes code together with customers, and blogs about the solutions arising from these engagements. For more than 5 years, Claus has implemented software to help customers innovate, achieve, and maintain success.

Network Programming with Rust

Network Programming with Rust

Rust has steadily become one of the most important new programming languages in recent years. One the one hand, it is low-level enough to provide fine-grained control over memory while providing memory-safety through compile-time validation. Rust also guarantees data race-free parallelism. All these features make it uniquely suitable for writing low-level networking applications. This book will help developers get started on writing such applications in Rust.

Rust Essentials

Rust Essentials

Rust is the new, open source, fast and safe systems programming language for the 21st century, developed at Mozilla Research, and with a steadily growing community. It was created to solve the dilemma between high-level, slow code with minimal control over the system, and low-level, fast code with maximum system control. “Rust Essentials” will give you a head start to solve systems programming and application tasks with Rust. It is no longer necessary to learn C / C++ to develop resource intensive and low-level systems applications.

Hands-On Concurrency with Rust

Hands-On Concurrency with Rust

Writing safe and correct parallel programs is tough. Reasoning about concurrent memory modification is tough; efficiently exploiting the modern computing environment (with its multi-layered caches and deep execution pipelines) is also tough. Most systems programming languages add a further complication: unsafe memory access. The burden on you, the programmer, lies across two domains: understanding the modern machine and understanding your language's pain-points. Rust, with its safe memory model and strong type system, eases this last burden without sacrificing performance. This book will teach you to reason about program performance on modern machines and build fast, memory-safe, and concurrent software in Rust.
