Dominick Baier - Pluralsight course - Web API v2 Security
by Dominick Baier

What you'll learn

The main feature focus of ASP.NET Web API v2 was security. There's a brand new authentication system and support for popular authentication methods, like OAuth2 tokens, that is already built-in. Additionally, it is now much easier to use Web APIs from JavaScript clients and the new security extensibility gives you powerful features to integrate your APIs in arbitrary security systems.
