Sprint 11 - Securing a REST API

     <prev next>

Agile Topic

No specific agile topic to be covered in this sprint. Continue to follow the Scrum methodology in your development work, correcting any issues that you may encounter.

Development Topic: Securing a REST API

Lessons 28 and 29 describe mechanisms to secure a RESTful API. Choose a user story that benefits from exposing a secure REST API and implement it in your application context.

Topic of the Week

JWT:

  • Implement security for your RESTful API.
  • Work with git. Create a branch for each story and merge it into master with a merge commit like “Story_001 Overview of Study Program”
    • You may also clean your git history to just have one commit per story.
  • Tag the version where the sprint was completed with “Sprint_11”
  • Include the repo url in your status report (you can use any service, e.g. https://gitlab.rz.htw-berlin.de/)
    • Please use a public repository or grant read access to the lecturer

  • Your project name
