Earlier i completed a tutorial of yours in Udemy on rest apis and it was also very well explained. This video is the first one of yours i'm watching in KZbin and it is so nice.. anybody can understand it. This video deserves a 1000 likes and comment!! Thank you very much!!

Your video is really among the best! It was so good that I was able to tolerate the unbearable background music (you don't need music, what you're saying is interesting enough). I agree with others that your channel is horribly underrated. Please keep up the good work!

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for letting me know about your thoughts.

[@mback12000]

Agreed. I don't understand why some"explainer" or tutorial videos do this.. Ever sit down in school for a hard subject and a teacher puts loud jingles on while talking? Of course not.

[@edd7297]

Because they were “stolen” 😅😂😂😂🥴

[@Epic-so3ek]

Could be because of marketing? It exists to steal data, that could be why. But idk.

[@goobyssi]

The term "cookies" in the context of computers comes from the word "magic cookies," which is a term used in UNIX computing. Magic cookies were data tokens that were exchanged between programs during remote procedure calls in early UNIX systems. The idea of storing small pieces of data on a user's computer to track their activity and preferences was borrowed from this concept, leading to the term "cookies" being used in web browsers to refer to these small text files.

Excellent presentation. But one point, i would like to highlight here which is "Cookie biased Session authentication" would not allow to access all the information. For example: In banking internet web portal, User-A has logged into by using his credentials. Once the user credentials are verified for User-A , application server assign cookie to the user-A and respond back to Brower client. For each request of this user-A, , application server should perform 2 checks -First, verify the cookie validity and second, the requested operation whether it is permitted to this user-A. If anyone of the above checks is failed, the application server should redirect to logic page to User-A.

[@carlotadias9335]

Thank you for the video ! Did you arrive to do a video on how to implement this in practice ? I have the specific doubt on how JWT are validated on server side, I mean, beside seeing it is a valid JWT token, does this come with a third party validation server ? Is it matching a public with a private key stored in the filesystem of the server ? And also, in this example, the JWT wouldn't work if the bank doesn't build a service to supply such a token to third parties, correct? If you could answer this here I would appreciate. Thank you in advance,

Hi Thanks for this awesome video. I have one query. The table you demonstrated in DB contains sessionId as one of column against customerId. Shouldn't we store this sessionId as a primary key for fast lookup ? Or is this sessionId would be a primary key in some other table ? Thanks

This is just an example. Typically you won't need a primary key for the session id.

[@vdespa]

Yes, JWT (JSON Web Tokens) can be used with OAuth 2.0 protocol.

[@AloisMahdal]

Great explanation, thanks! A nitpick: the reasoning you mentioned at the end that it does not make sense to use cookies sounds ... pretty subjective. Objectively I can't think of any reason why an app or a smart watch could not use cookie; it's just a piece of software, after all, right? Especially assuming it already uses HTTP.. Without diving deeper, my hunch is that there's a better reason.
