What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the critical need to secure ASP.NET Core Web APIs by implementing robust authentication, authorization, and protection against common web vulnerabilities.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Authentication: Implement ASP.NET Core Identity, OAuth/OIDC, and JWT bearer token authentication.
- Authorization: Configure policy-based authorization and secure endpoints.
- Security Headers & Policies: Set up CORS, Content Security Policy (CSP), and other security headers.
- Rate Limiting: Protect APIs from abuse with various rate-limiting strategies.
- Passkeys: Integrate modern passwordless authentication using WebAuthn.
- Use Case: Secure a public-facing API by implementing JWT bearer authentication for authenticated users and rate limiting to prevent abuse, while also configuring CORS to allow specific frontend origins.
