Security and Authentication Sprint

KRW 680,000 · informational list price

Layer Spring Security with JWT and opaque tokens while keeping session stories explicit.

You configure resource servers, method security, and CORS with deliberate defaults. Labs include rotating keys, testing security filters, and documenting threat assumptions for external reviewers. The tone stays operational, not fear-driven.

What you build and study

  • Resource server setup with JWT validation
  • Method security with custom voters
  • Testing anonymous and authenticated flows
  • CORS and CSRF decisions documented per route
  • Secrets handling with environment contracts
  • Audit hooks for sensitive mutations
  • Hardening checklist for release readiness

Outcomes

  • Ship a secured demo service with test coverage
  • Explain token lifetimes to stakeholders
  • Identify gaps using a provided review template

Mentor

Questions

No. You learn developer-led controls and documentation habits, not formal penetration testing.

Recent reflections

  • “Finally a course that talks about key rotation without hand-waving.”
