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.

Authentication and authorization modes

Authentication and authorization are the two core components for securing applications. Authentication is the process of verifying a user's identity by obtaining credentials and using those credentials to verify their identity, whereas authorization is done after a successful authentication and it validates if the authenticated user has sufficient rights to access a particular resource of an application. A typical example is the shopping cart application, where a user can sign in to choose products, check out, and make payments; whereas some information is still hidden from registered users, and features such as manipulating items, managing user access, and other administrative permissions are only given to admin users.
