Securing a Web API using multiple token servers
This article shows how a single secure Web API could be used together with multiple secure token servers. The API uses JWT Bearer token authentication, but because the access token come from different token servers, the tokens validation need to be changed. Code: https://github.com/damienbod/ApiJwtWithTwoSts Using multiple Authorities with shared certitficate The first way this can […]
Adding FIDO2 Passwordless authentication to an ASP.NET Core Identity App
This article shows how FIDO2 WebAuthn could be used for a passwordless sign in integrated into an ASP.NET Core Identity application. The FIDO2 WebAuthn is implemented using the fido2-net-lib Nuget package, and demo code created by Anders Åberg. The application is implemented using ASP.NET Core 3.0 with Identity. For information about FIDO2 and WebAuthn, please […]
Securing an ASP.NET Core Razor Page App using OpenID Connect Code flow with PKCE
This article shows how to secure an ASP.NET Core Razor Page application using the Open ID Connect code flow with PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange). The secure token server is implemented using Duende IdentityServer but any secure token server (STS) can be used which supports PKCE.

The FIDO2 WebAuthn is implemented using the fido2-net-lib Nuget package, and demo code created by Anders Åberg. The application is implemented using ASP.NET Core 3.0 with Identity. For information about Fido2 and WebAuthn, please refer to […]
System Testing ASP.NET Core APIs using XUnit
This article shows how an ASP.NET Core API could be tested using system tests implemented using XUnit. The API is protected using JWT Bearer token authorization, and the API uses a secure token server to validate the API requests. When running the tests, the access token needs to be requested, and used to access the […]
Using Chained Certificates for Certificate Authentication in ASP.NET Core 3.1
This article shows how to create self signed certificates and use these for chained certificate authentication in ASP.NET Core. By using chained certificates, each client application can use a unique certificate which was created from a root CA directly, or an intermediate certificate which was created from the root CA. The clients can then be […]
