Authors:
ASP.NET Web API is a key part of ASP.NET MVC 4.
It has become the platform of choice for building RESTful services.
Securing ASP.NET Web API applications requires a move away from traditional WCF-based techniques in favor of new SOAP-less methods.
The evaluation, selection and analysis of these new techniques is the focus of this book.

About this book
With such wide accessibility, securing your code effectively needs to be a top priority. You will quickly find that the WCF security protocols you’re familiar with from .NET are less suitable than they once were in this new environment, proving themselves cumbersome and limited in terms of the standards they can work with.
Fortunately, ASP.NET Web API provides a simple, robust security solution of its own that fits neatly within the ASP.NET MVC programming model and secures your code without the need for SOAP, meaning that there is no limit to the range of devices that it can work with – if it can understand HTTP, then it can be secured by Web API. These SOAP-less security techniques are the focus of this book.
