API with a focus on security best practices:
Key Security Practices Included:
- Input Validation and Sanitization: All inputs are validated and sanitized to prevent SQL injection and other attacks.
- Prepared Statements: All database queries use prepared statements to avoid SQL injection.
- Password Hashing: Passwords are hashed using
password_hash()
and verified usingpassword_verify()
. - Token-Based Authentication: JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are used for secure API authentication.
- Error Hiding: Error details are logged but not exposed to users in production.
- Strict Content-Type Header: Ensures only JSON payloads are processed.
- Rate Limiting and Throttling: Optional mechanisms to prevent abuse.
- Validation for IDs: Integer inputs (like
user_id
orexam_id
) are explicitly validated.
