NIST Misses 2024 Deadline to Clear NVD Backlog
NIST has failed to meet its self-imposed deadline of clearing the NVD's backlog by the end of the fiscal year. Meanwhile, CVE's awaiting analysis have increased by 33% since June.
@nestjs/passport
Advanced tools
@nestjs/passport is a NestJS module that provides integration with the Passport authentication middleware. It allows developers to implement various authentication strategies in a NestJS application, such as local, JWT, OAuth, and more.
Local Authentication
This feature allows you to implement local authentication using a username and password. The code sample demonstrates how to set up a local strategy with Passport.
const passport = require('passport');
const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;
passport.use(new LocalStrategy(
function(username, password, done) {
User.findOne({ username: username }, function (err, user) {
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
if (!user.verifyPassword(password)) { return done(null, false); }
return done(null, user);
});
}
));
JWT Authentication
This feature allows you to implement JWT authentication. The code sample demonstrates how to set up a JWT strategy with Passport.
const passport = require('passport');
const { Strategy: JwtStrategy, ExtractJwt } = require('passport-jwt');
const opts = {
jwtFromRequest: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken(),
secretOrKey: 'your_jwt_secret'
};
passport.use(new JwtStrategy(opts, function(jwt_payload, done) {
User.findById(jwt_payload.sub, function(err, user) {
if (err) {
return done(err, false);
}
if (user) {
return done(null, user);
} else {
return done(null, false);
}
});
}));
OAuth Authentication
This feature allows you to implement OAuth authentication using providers like Google. The code sample demonstrates how to set up a Google OAuth strategy with Passport.
const passport = require('passport');
const GoogleStrategy = require('passport-google-oauth20').Strategy;
passport.use(new GoogleStrategy({
clientID: 'YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID',
clientSecret: 'YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET',
callbackURL: 'http://www.example.com/auth/google/callback'
},
function(token, tokenSecret, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ googleId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}));
Passport is a popular authentication middleware for Node.js. It is highly flexible and supports a wide range of authentication strategies. While @nestjs/passport is specifically designed for NestJS, Passport can be used with any Node.js application.
Express-session is a middleware for managing sessions in Express applications. While it does not provide authentication strategies like @nestjs/passport, it is often used in conjunction with Passport to manage user sessions.
Jsonwebtoken is a library for generating and verifying JSON Web Tokens (JWT). It is often used in combination with Passport's JWT strategy to handle token-based authentication. Unlike @nestjs/passport, it does not provide a complete authentication framework but focuses on JWT handling.
