Delve into software architecture, exploring key principles, patterns, and quality attributes. Gain insights with case studies and projects, enhancing your practical skills in system design and optimization.

Software Architecture in Applications-01.png

This course offers a deep dive into the world of software architecture. It’s designed to equip software developers and architects with the knowledge and skills necessary to create, evaluate, and optimize software systems. The course covers a range of critical topics to ensure a strong foundation in architectural principles and strategies.

You will start by exploring architectural concepts and the relationship between quality attributes, requirements, and architectural styles. You’ll also examine different architectural patterns and strategies, including centralized and decentralized architecture, layered pattern, broker pattern, and microservices. Then, you’ll go into the details of important quality attributes needed while developing an architecture.

The course is equipped with multiple case studies and two projects to further enhance learning. These real-world scenarios and hands-on projects are strategically incorporated to give learners practical insights.

Software Architecture in Applications

# Overview
**Security** in software architecture refers to the measures and practices that are implemented in order to protect a system and its data from unauthorized access or attacks. There are several aspects of security that are important to consider in software architecture, including:
 
# Access control
**Access control** refers to the mechanisms that are used to restrict access to a system or its resources to unauthorized users or processes. Access control can be implemented at various levels, such as at the network level, system level, or application level.
 
For example, a system might be configured with a firewall that controls access to the network and only allows traffic from authorized sources. The system might also be configured with user accounts and passwords that control access to specific resources or functions within the system.
 
# Authentication
**Authentication** is the process of confirming a user's or process's identity in order to establish that they're authorised to access a system or its resources. Authentication can be accomplished through a variety of means, including passwords, tokens, and biometric authentication.
