18. Security
Overview
This chapter aims to equip you with the basic skills to protect your code from attacks and vulnerabilities. You will be able to evaluate the workings of major attack vectors, implement crypto libraries for the encryption and decryption of data and implement communication security by using TLS certificates.
By the end of the chapter, you will be equipped to identify common issues with code that could lead to security loopholes, and refactor code to make it more secure.
