Secure JWT authentication requires generating tokens with strong signatures and validating them on every request to prevent common exploits. This Skill provides guidance on securely generating and validating JWTs specifically for REST API endpoints.

The OWASP API Security Top 10 outlines critical vulnerabilities like broken authorization and injection attacks. This Skill provides strategies and secure coding practices to defend your APIs against these common data leak and exploit risks.

Rate limiting protects your GraphQL API from DDoS attacks by restricting the number of requests a client can make. This Skill guides implementing rate limiting and other secure design patterns specifically for GraphQL APIs.

Yes, this Skill covers input validation techniques for WebSocket APIs to ensure data integrity and prevent injection attacks. It provides comprehensive secure coding practices across REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket protocols.

The best way to prevent data leaks is implementing strict authorization checks to ensure users only access permitted resources. This Skill provides comprehensive guidance on secure API authorization patterns and common pitfalls to avoid.

API authentication can fail due to improperly signed tokens or missing validation parameters despite passing input checks. This Skill helps identify common secure coding pitfalls in authentication flows and provides correct implementation patterns.
