Question

User-1782410546 posted

Hi All,

I have developed a web application using Angular JS + ASP.NET MVC 4

and Web Api as a separate solution as backend service.

I implemented HMAC Authentication and login form to login into the site.

I have followed the below link to use HMAC Authentication

http://www.primaryobjects.com/2015/05/08/token-based-authentication-for-web-service-apis-in-c-mvc-net/

Now i want to host the web application for public.

What are necessary security settings should i do , in order to protect my application from any kind of attack from hackers.

Thanks,

Vijay Devd
