What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive set of tools and patterns to secure FastAPI applications, addressing authentication, authorization, and common web vulnerabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

• JWT Authentication: Implement secure token-based authentication using python-jose.
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Define and enforce granular permissions for different user roles.
• Security Hardening: Configure CORS, rate limiting, security headers, and input validation to protect against common attacks.
• Use Case: Secure a new FastAPI backend for a web application by implementing user login, protecting sensitive endpoints with role checks, and ensuring all communication is safe from common web exploits.

Quick Start

Implement JWT authentication in your FastAPI application using the provided code examples for token generation, decoding, and password hashing.
