Welcome to the third chapter. We hope you are enjoying and learning with us. In this chapter, you will get more involved with security management. You will also work with some more advanced security concepts.
Security management in applications built with RESTful web services can be more granular than what we reviewed in the previous chapter. If we think around authentication and authorization topics, we described the former; authorization was set aside. This is because we want to treat it slowly and in a very detailed level in this chapter.
The topics covered in this chapter are:
Implementing security restrictions related to authentication and authorization in to an application
Implementing fine-grained security
Using annotations to obtain more granularity over resource access control
