Foundations of Securing Blazor Applications

Building dynamic web applications with Blazor is highly efficient, but ensuring your application and user data remain secure is critical. Without proper security measures, your apps are vulnerable to unauthorized access and data leaks. This text-only course guides you through the essential concepts of securing both Blazor Server and Blazor WebAssembly applications. You will transition from understanding basic security definitions to implementing modern authentication and authorization patterns in your codebase. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational security principles and terminology specific to Blazor architectures. - Configure authentication using modern protocols like OpenID Connect and OAuth2. - Implement role-based and policy-based authorization to restrict access to sensitive components. - Manage user state and tokens securely to prevent client-side tampering. - Defend your applications against common web vulnerabilities such as Cross-Site Scripting. The course begins with core security concepts and architectural differences between Blazor hosting models, before moving into step-by-step written explanations on configuring secure access control and handling identity. Designed for beginner Blazor developers who want to establish a strong security foundation, this course requires no prior security experience.
