Research on Data Security Approaches in Spring Boot for Rest API

In the modern educational process, the relevance of informatization and cybersecurity threats cannot be overstated. As highlighted by Gulzada Esenalieva [1], the rapid development of information technologies and the widespread digitalization in education have introduced both innovative communication methods and significant cybersecurity challenges. These challenges include filtering unwanted information, preventing unauthorized access, combating cyberterrorism, and managing the use of social networks. Pedagogical support for students in developing safe online behavior is increasingly important in this context.Spring Boot provides a comprehensive set of tools to secure web applications, offering robust security and authentication mechanisms essential for safeguarding REST APIs. This study delves into Spring Boot’s capabilities in areas such as data encryption, Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection [6, 8], and context security, drawing parallels with the broader concerns of cybersecurity in the educational environment.
