Enhance Web App Security with OAuth 2.0 and JWT: A Developer's Guide

Modern web applications are prime targets for cyberattacks. To protect your users and data, implementing OAuth 2.0 and JWT is a must.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this detailed blog:

✅ How OAuth 2.0 Works: Delegates authorization safely using access tokens instead of credentials.
✅ Why JWT Matters: Enables stateless authentication with cryptographic signatures and token expiry.
✅ Practical Implementation: Learn token flows, client-server trust models, and common pitfalls.
✅ Security Considerations: Token revocation, secure storage, HTTPS enforcement, and token scopes.

These technologies are particularly effective when:

1) Building RESTful APIs
2) Developing microservices architectures
3) Managing third-party access to user data
