Authorization with Go

Overview

The Authorization with Go course offers a comprehensive exploration of authorization principles and their implementation in Go applications. It begins with the fundamentals of authentication, laying the groundwork for access control. Participants will learn about Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) to manage user permissions effectively. The course also covers best practices for securing APIs, ensuring robust protection against unauthorized access. Finally, practical skills are honed through a hands-on project, where learners will create a Task Management API, applying the concepts learned throughout the course to build a secure and efficient application.

Syllabus

Authentication Fundamentals

Master authentication in Go: explore auth vs. authorization, session and token methods, JWTs, secure user flows, and best practices for robust, scalable API security.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Learn how to design, implement, and enforce Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Go APIs for scalable, maintainable, and secure authorization using roles, permissions, and middleware.

Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)

Learn to implement Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) for fine-grained, dynamic permissions based on user, resource, and context, complementing RBAC for secure, scalable applications.

Securing APIs

Learn to secure APIs by defending against threats, using secure coding, logging, rate limiting, and testing to protect users, data, and infrastructure from real-world attacks.
