Enterprise Application Architecture with .NET Core

By: Ganesan Senthilvel, Adwait Ullal, Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan, Habib Qureshi

Overview of this book

If you want to design and develop enterprise applications using .NET Core as the development framework and learn about industry-wide best practices and guidelines, then this book is for you. The book starts with a brief introduction to enterprise architecture, which will help you to understand what enterprise architecture is and what the key components are. It will then teach you about the types of patterns and the principles of software development, and explain the various aspects of distributed computing to keep your applications effective and scalable. These chapters act as a catalyst to start the practical implementation, and design and develop applications using different architectural approaches, such as layered architecture, service oriented architecture, microservices and cloud-specific solutions. Gradually, you will learn about the different approaches and models of the Security framework and explore various authentication models and authorization techniques, such as social media-based authentication and safe storage using app secrets. By the end of the book, you will get to know the concepts and usage of the emerging fields, such as DevOps, BigData, architectural practices, and Artificial Intelligence.

Security Practices with .NET Core

Security is the core component in any enterprise application. With proper implementation, we can not only protect sensitive information from unauthorized user access but also maintain the integrity of the data. Security can be implemented using different techniques, where authentication and authorization are the two main principles. In this chapter, we will discuss the different approaches of implementing security in an ASP.NET Core web application and cover the following topics:

  • Authenticating websites using cookie middleware, external authentication, ASP.NET Identity and two-factor authentication
  • Exploring different options for authorizing user access
  • Discussing the core concepts and flows of OAuth and OpenID Connect
  • Implementing a Central Authentication System (CAS) using IdentityServer4
  • Exploring safe storage to store sensitive information

ASP.NET Core comes with a wide range...
