Beschreibung

Full Stack Python Security teaches you everything you'll need to build secure Python web applications.

Summary
In Full Stack Python Security: Cryptography, TLS, and attack resistance, you'll learn how to:

Use algorithms to encrypt, hash, and digitally sign data
Create and install TLS certificates
Implement authentication, authorization, OAuth 2.0, and form validation in Django
Protect a web application with Content Security Policy
Implement Cross Origin Resource Sharing
Protect against common attacks including clickjacking, denial of service attacks, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and more

Full Stack Python Security: Cryptography, TLS, and attack resistance teaches you everything you'll need to build secure Python web applications. As you work through the insightful code snippets and engaging examples, you'll put security standards, best practices, and more into action. Along the way, you'll get exposure to important libraries and tools in the Python ecosystem.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the technology
Security is a full-stack concern, encompassing user interfaces, APIs, web servers, network infrastructure, and everything in between. Master the powerful libraries, frameworks, and tools in the Python ecosystem and you can protect your systems top to bottom. Packed with realistic examples, lucid illustrations, and working code, this book shows you exactly how to secure Python-based web applications.
