About

Companies send out payrolls to employees using corporate mail. This solution has certain disadvantages related to security and usability. In this project, put on a robe of such an employee. As you're familiar with Java and Spring Framework, you've suggested an idea of sending payrolls to the employee's account on the corporate website. The management has approved your idea, but it will be you who will implement this project. You've decided to start by developing the API structure, then define the role model, implement the business logic, and, of course, ensure the security of the service.

Graduate project

This project covers the core topics of the Spring Security for Java Backend Developers course, making it sufficiently challenging to be a proud addition to your portfolio.

At least one graduate project is required to complete the course.

What you'll learn

Once you choose a project, we'll provide you with a study plan that includes all the necessary topics from your course to get it built. Here’s what awaits you:

Develop and implement the API structure. Take a first look at the future role model.

Add the user authentication functionality to the service.

The security department took an interest in the service! It is time to implement some requirements of security standards for the authentication procedure.

It's time to implement the business logic of our service.

Finalize the role model using the Spring Security functionality and add the administrative functions.

Log security events, detect attacks, and monitor user activities.

Implement the HTTPS protocol to fortify the service.

An interesting, fun project that really tests your knowledge of Spring Security. I learned how to configure authorization, customize error handling, and write event listeners.
