Course Overview

OAuth 2.0 has become the industry standard for securing access to APIs and online services, ensuring that users can share data safely without exposing their credentials. As modern applications increasingly depend on third-party integrations, understanding OAuth 2.0 is essential for developers, security engineers, and IT professionals who aim to build secure, scalable, and user-friendly systems. This protocol not only strengthens security but also enhances user experience through seamless authorization mechanisms.

You will explore the differences between OAuth 1.0 and 2.0, understand key components such as authorization servers, clients, and tokens, and learn how various OAuth flows operate, including authorization code and client credentials flows. Practical sections guide you through integrating OAuth with real-world APIs like Gmail and Facebook. The course also delves into identifying vulnerabilities, implementing mitigation strategies, and mastering advanced topics like OpenID Connect and SAML. 

By the end of this course, you will confidently implement, secure, and manage OAuth 2.0 in real-world applications.
