Conquer Authentication with Ktor: Part 8 – Protect Access with CORS

ByTomas Zezula

Ensuring security and flexibility of web services when it comes to cross-origin resource sharing is essential. This is elegantly managed through the implementation of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), an established practice for modern web applications. A well defined CORS policy not only enhances security but also promotes a seamless interaction between different domains. Thankfully, Ktor makes this process straightforward and efficient. In this final part of our series on authentication with Ktor, we will provide clear examples to guide you. By the end of this post, you’ll see how effortless it is to integrate CORS into your Ktor projects, ensuring your services are both secure and accessible.

Implementing Stateless OAuth in Ktor Using Google and JWT

ByTomas Zezula

In our previous post, we explored the theory behind OAuth 2.0. Today, we’re going to dive into practical application by implementing OAuth authentication with Google in a Ktor application. While the traditional approach leans towards using user session cookies to store access tokens, we’re taking a different approach. We’ll be leveraging JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to encapsulate the access token. By encapsulating the access token in JWT, we transition our authentication to a stateless model, making our server more resource efficient.

Now, we’re turning our attention to a widely adopted authorization protocol – Open Authorization 2.0. While JWT primarily ensures secure communication, OAuth focuses on the delegation of access. Today, we’ll have a closer look at key concepts of this authorization protocol.
