What You'll Learn
- Learn OAuth 2.0 Token Types and Formats: Explore access tokens
- refresh tokens
- JWT
- and opaque tokens to secure modern APIs.
- Understand Token Validation Methods: Discover when to use local validation or introspection for efficient and secure token verification.
- Choose the Right OAuth Client Type: Learn when to use public or confidential clients.
- Define and Structure OAuth Scopes: Learn to name and structure OAuth scopes for effective
- granular API access control.
- Gain Basics of OIDC: Understand how OpenID Connect extends OAuth for user authentication and single sign-on.
- Master User-Initiated Flows: Learn Implicit

- and PKCE flows for secure user authentication.
- Explore Flow Challenges: Analyze vulnerabilities with real-world hacker scenarios and address them effectively.
- Choose the Best Flow: Use decision trees to identify the ideal OAuth flow for your project needs.
- Discover Advanced Flow Mechanisms: Learn JWT Secured Authorization Request (JAR)
- JWE
- and Pushed Authorization Request (PAR) to enhance OAuth 2.0 security.
- Implement Machine-to-Machine Flows: Learn the Client Credentials Flow for secure backend service communication.
- Understand ROPC and Device Code Flows: Discover flows like Resource Owner Password Credentials and Device Code for resource owner and devices with limited input
- Master Advanced Advanced Client Authentication Methods: Use JWT
- SAML assertions
- and X.509 mTLS for robust API security.
- Learn mTLS X.509 Basics: Build foundational knowledge of mutual TLS
- X.509 certificates
- and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
- Secure OAuth 2.0 Access Tokens: Protect your tokens with advanced FAPI-compliant mechanisms like mutual TLS and Demonstration of Proof-of-Possession (DPoP).
- Integrate External Identity Providers: Connect with partners
- JWT providers
- and external systems for scalable identity solutions.
- Connect with Legacy and SAML Systems: Integrate with legacy infrastructures and SAML for phased migrations.
- Simulate Real-World Scenarios: Analyze attacker scenarios and explore diverse project architectures.
- Make Informed Decisions: Use decision trees to select the best OAuth flows and mechanisms for secure architectures.
Requirements
- A general understanding of HTTP concepts
- such as methods (GET
- POST)
- headers
- and status codes.
- This course is designed for both beginners and advanced learners
- so no prior knowledge of OAuth 2.0 is required.
Description
Master OAuth 2.0: A Practical Guide to API Security is your one-stop resource for designing, implementing, and managing secure API infrastructures. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, this course offers a comprehensive, hands-on approach to understanding OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, token-based authentication, and more. Throughout the lessons, you’ll explore access tokens, refresh tokens, JWTs, SAML, and other cutting-edge security protocols to effectively secure your modern applications and services.
You’ll learn when and how to apply local token validation versus token introspection, how to choose between public and confidential clients, and how to define scalable OAuth scopes that fit your project’s exact requirements. With in-depth coverage of user-initiated flows—such as the Authorization Code Flow, Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE), and Implicit Flow—you’ll gain a firm grasp on configuring these flows in real-world scenarios. We’ll also tackle advanced topics like mutual TLS (mTLS), advanced client authentication methods (including JWT and SAML assertions), FAPI-compliant token security mechanisms such as Demonstration of Proof of Possession (DPoP), and even PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) basics to support secure certificate-based solutions.
For machine-to-machine communication, you’ll master the Client Credentials Flow and learn how to integrate external identity providers or legacy systems without compromising performance or security.
You’ll walk through hands-on cURL simulations, attacker scenarios, and decision trees that make it easy to map OAuth best practices to your specific project environment. By understanding each chapter’s detailed agenda and applying core concepts step by step, you’ll build robust API security strategies that scale—whether you’re migrating a legacy system or launching a new zero-trust architecture.
Don’t let confusion about flows, configurations, or integrations hold you back. Enroll now and take the guesswork out of OAuth 2.0!
