With the advancement in technology, now more than ever, application developers need to be able to implement reliable mechanisms to prevent passwords from being stolen. Java Password and Authentication Security provides a practical approach to implement these reliable mechanisms with the possibility to make password authentication stronger as technology makes it easier to break them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJava Password and Authentication Security is a practical, hands-on guide covering a number of clear, step-by-step exercises and code examples that will help you to implement strong password authentication solutions for your project in no time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book starts off with the most basic and well known hashing technique to quickly get an application developer started with implementing a standard password protection mechanism. Furthermore, it covers the stronger SHA (standard hashing algorithm) family in detail and brings up a technique to improve the hash security with a technique called “salting”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will also learn how to use these hashes, and more importantly, when to use each technique. You will learn that not every hash algorithm is good in every situation, and how to deal with password recovery, password authentication, and timing attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproach\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilled with practical, step-by-step instructions and clear explanations for the most important and useful tasks. This book takes a hands-on approach to Java-based password hashing and authentication, detailing advanced topics in a recipe format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho this book is for\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is ideal for developers new to user authentication and password security, and who are looking to get a good grounding in how to implement it in a reliable way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s assumed that the reader will have some experience in Java already, as well as being familiar with the basic idea behind user authentication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153605247216,"sku":"9781849697774","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781849697774_p0.jpg?v=1763753274","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849697774","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
