In this talk, we’ll dive into the security pitfalls of token-based authentication, focusing on JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). From common attack vectors to specific vulnerabilities, such as token theft from insecure storage locations like localStorage, we’ll explore how improper handling can turn tokens into security liabilities. Through live demos, you’ll see real-world examples of attacks like token hijacking, and we’ll discuss practical defense strategies to secure tokens effectively. Gain insights to fortify your applications and ensure that tokens remain safe inside your authentication architecture.
