Up until this point, this book has covered largely foundational topics around security in general and ASP.NET in particular. Even the last chapter, which focused on how to implement cryptography using .NET, is more of a foundational concept than something you’ll need to know on a day-to-day basis. And I could keep going – there is, after all, a whole family of attacks that targets the website’s network, operating system, and even hardware that I haven’t covered. But these typically fall outside the responsibility of most software developers and so fall outside the scope of this book. But we have a pretty good foundation of security at this point so it’s time to move on to topics that more directly relate to the way you use ASP.NET Core.
