+# ASP.NET Core API Security — Minimal JWT and Rate Limiting Sample
+
+Full tutorial: [ASP.NET Core 8 API Security: JWT Authentication, CSRF Protection & Rate Limiting](https://www.dotnet-guide.com/tutorials/aspnet-core/api-security-in-practice/)
+
+## What this sample demonstrates
+
+- .NET 10 ASP.NET Core Minimal API
+- JWT bearer authentication with issuer, audience, lifetime, signing-key, and algorithm validation
+- Short-lived tokens (30 minutes)
+- Development-only login endpoint (`POST /auth/token`)
+- One seeded demo user
+- One protected Notes resource with ownership checks
+- 404 for another user's hidden note (anti-enumeration)
+- Login rate limiting (5 requests/minute)
+- Per-user API rate limiting (20 requests/minute)
+- JSON 401 and 429 responses following RFC-style
+- Integration tests using `WebApplicationFactory`
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Client
+ |
+ |-- POST /auth/token
+ | |
+ | +-- signed JWT
+ |
+ +-- Authorization: Bearer
+ |
+ v
+ Protected Notes API
+ |
+ |-- ownership check
+ +-- per-user rate limit
+```
+
+## File structure
+
+```

+ |-- ApiSecurityMinimal.slnx
+ |-- README.md

+ | +-- appsettings.json
+ +-- tests/
+ +-- ApiSecurityMinimal.Tests/
+ |-- ApiSecurityMinimal.Tests.csproj
+ +-- ApiSecurityTests.cs
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [.NET 10 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/10.0)
+
+No database, Docker, or external service is required.
+
+## Demo credentials
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Email | `demo@example.com` |
+| Password | `DemoPass123!` |
+
+These are development-only credentials. Production systems must use ASP.NET Core Identity or a proper password hasher.
+
+## Setup
+
+Set a JWT signing key using a method that does not commit the key to source control.
+
+### Environment variable (recommended for CI / quick testing)
+
+```powershell
+$env:Jwt__Key = ""
+```
+
+### User secrets (recommended for local development)
+
+```powershell
+dotnet user-secrets init --project src/ApiSecurityMinimal
+dotnet user-secrets set "Jwt:Key" "" --project src/ApiSecurityMinimal
+```
+
+## Run
+
+```powershell
+cd aspnet-core\api-security-in-practice
+
+dotnet restore
+dotnet build --configuration Release --no-restore
+
+# Run tests
+dotnet test --configuration Release --no-build
+
+# Run the API
+$env:Jwt__Key = ""
+dotnet run --project src\ApiSecurityMinimal --configuration Release --no-build
+```
+
+### Manual API test
+
+```powershell
+# Login
+curl.exe -X POST "http://localhost:/auth/token" `
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" `
+ -d "{\"email\":\"demo@example.com\",\"password\":\"DemoPass123!\"}"
+
+# Use the returned token for protected endpoints
+curl.exe "http://localhost:/notes" `
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer "
+```
+
+The actual local port is shown by `dotnet run` and varies per run.
+
+## Verify
+
+| Request | Expected result |
+| --- | --- |
+| `GET /health` (anonymous) | 200 `{"status":"healthy"}` |
+| `POST /auth/token` with valid credentials | 200 + JWT |
+| `POST /auth/token` with invalid credentials | 401 |
+| `GET /notes` without token | 401 |
+| `GET /notes` with valid token | 200 + notes (initially empty) |
+| `DELETE /notes/{id}` owned by another user | 404 |
+| 6th login attempt within a minute | 429 + `Retry-After` |
+
+## Important boundary
+
+This is an **educational JWT-only sample**, not a complete identity system. It intentionally omits:
+
+- Cookie authentication
+- CSRF tokens and antiforgery middleware
+- CORS configuration
+- HSTS and browser security headers
+- ASP.NET Core Identity
+- Password hashing (plain-text demo password)
+- Refresh tokens and token revocation
+- Persistent database
+- Distributed rate limiting
+- OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect
+- Production deployment
+
+The full tutorial remains the authoritative source for all of the above.
+
+## Version note
+
+The tutorial is written around **ASP.NET Core 8**. The companion sample targets **.NET 10** while using the same core authentication, authorization, and rate-limiting concepts.
+
+## Security disclosures
+
+- The demo password is intentionally simple and local-only
+- Production systems should use ASP.NET Core Identity or an external identity provider
+- Production signing keys belong in a secret manager
+- Access tokens should be short-lived
+- Refresh-token rotation and revocation are not implemented
+- Cookie authentication and CSRF protection are intentionally excluded
+- CORS and browser security headers are intentionally excluded
+- Rate limiting is in-process and not distributed across instances
+- The in-memory store resets on restart
