Securing ASP.NET Core Communications: An In-Depth Study of an End-to-End Encryption Middleware

Abstract This document provides a thorough examination of an end-to-end cryptographic middleware designed for ASP.NET Core applications. The middleware facilitates secure message exchange between a client and a server by enforcing transport-layer security (HTTPS), verifying digital signatures, encrypting and decrypting request/response payloads at the application level, and preventing replay attacks via a nonce system stored

Navigating Token-Based Authentication: A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing Between PASETO and JWT

Token-based authentication has become the standard for secure user access in modern applications, surpassing traditional session-based methods. Unlike sessions stored on the server, token-based authentication involves issuing unique digital tokens to clients upon successful login. Here’s a deeper look into how this process works: User Login: The user provides their credentials (username/password) to the application.
