Are you sure your access tokens are really secure?
Do you use JWT access tokens to secure your web API? If you are, are you absolutely certain that your API only accepts access tokens issued by your service?
In this session, I’ll expose some shocking tricks that can bypass improperly configured token validation. You’ll see how easy it can be to fool your API. But don’t worry, I’ll also walk you through how to write tests that ensure your application is protected against these exploits.
