Preface

ASP.NET Web API is a framework that makes it easy to build HTTP services that reach a broad range of clients, including browsers and mobile devices. It is an ideal platform to build RESTful applications on the .NET Framework.

This book provides a practical guide to secure your ASP.NET Web API by various security techniques, such as integrating the ASP.NET Identity system, implementing various authentication mechanisms, enabling Secured Socket Layer (SSL), preventing cross-site request forgery attacks, and enabling cross-origin resource sharing.
