Overview of Segmenting and Protecting Data

1:52 with James Churchill

Now that we've got a way for users to register and sign-in, we're going to tackle another important issue: segmenting and protecting our user's data.

Now that we've got a way for users to register and sign in, 0:04
we're going to tackle another important issue. 0:07
Segmenting and protecting our users data. 0:11
The Fitness Frog Web app, tracks a users fitness activities. 0:14
Unfortunately, the fitness activity entry stored in our database 0:18
are associated with a specific user. 0:22
So we currently don't have a way to know which entries belong to which users. 0:24
We need to take our existing data and segment it so 0:30
that each entry will belong to or be associated with a single user. 0:33
Going a step further, we need to make some updates to our web app in order to protect 0:37
our users' data, so that a user can access and modify only their own data. 0:42
The changes that we'll make in this section won't visually change the user 0:48
interface of our application at all. 0:52
But when we're done, we'll be able to sign in and 0:54
see a list of just of our own entries on the entries list page. 0:59
And in a new entries that we add, we'll also be associated with our user account. 1:03
In this section., we'll start with segmenting our entries data by user. 1:10
Then we'll update the database seed data so 1:14
that each entry is associated with a specific user. 1:16
After that, we'll update the entries repository and 1:20
"Entries" list page to work with our updated data model. 1:23
Then we'll make the changes that'll be necessary in order to protect our 1:27
user's data. 1:30
And we'll finish up this section by taking a look 1:31
at securing communication between the client and server using SSL. 1:34
And how to prevent a common security attack vector known as CSRF, or 1:38
cross site request forgery. 1:43
In the next step, let´s review our data model and 1:45
make the necessary changes to segment our data by user. 1:48
