This article shows how a secure ASP.NET Core application can use Microsoft Entra ID downstream APIs and an in-memory cache. When using in-memory cache and after restarting an application, the tokens are missing for a value session stored in the cookie. The application needs to recover. Code: https://github.com/damienbod/bff-aspnetcore-angular OpenID Connect client setup The ASP.NET Core […]
This article shows how to implement identity verification in a solution using ASP.NET Core and trinsic.id, built using an id-tech solution based on self sovereign identity principals. The credential issuer uses OpenID Connect to authenticate, implemented using Microsoft Entra ID. The edge or web wallet authenticates using trinsic.id based on a single factor email code. […]
This article shows how to implement a secure web application using Vue.js and ASP.NET Core. The web application implements the backend for frontend security architecture (BFF) and deploys both technical stack distributions as one web application. HTTP only secure cookies are used to persist the session. Microsoft Entra ID is used as the identity provider […]
The article shows how an Angular nx Standalone UI hosted in an ASP.NET Core application can be secured using cookies. OpenIddict is used as the identity provider. The trusted application is protected using the Open ID Connect code flow with a secret and using PKCE. The API calls are protected using the secure cookie and anti-forgery […]

This article shows how to implement logging in an ASP.NET Core application using Serilog and Azure as a hosting environment. Code: https://github.com/damienbod/aspnetcore-azure-logging History Priority logging use cases Two types of default logging use cases need to be supported in most software solutions. The application requires near real time logs which can be easily viewed and […]
This article shows how an ASP.NET Core application can access an ASP.NET Core API using OAuth Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession (DPoP). This is a really powerful security enhancement which is relatively easy to support. The access tokens should only be used for what the access tokens are intended for. OAuth DPoP helps force this. This solution was […]
This post shows how a Microsoft Entra Verified ID employee credential can be used to access user specific data. This demo shows possible paycheck data from Switzerland. A payment ID can be the printed on the pay slip or the payment document could have a QR Code to scan. The user specific data can then […]
