Major Difference between Cookie vs Tokens



              Major Difference between Cookies vs Tokens


 Cookies and Tokens are the way through which you authenticate your SPA(Single-page Applications) as well as other web-based applications. But the current scenario of development prefers Tokens based authentication over Cookie-based authentication.




            The major difference between Cookie and Tokens are:
  • Cookie-based authentication used as a default method for authentication and it used for a long time(traditional way of authentication).
  • In cookie-based authentication, an authentication record must be kept the server and client-side and the server needs to keep track of active sessions in the database.
  •  Whereas in Token-based authentication has become more popular nowadays because it uses a lot in Web-apps, APIs and SPA(Single-page Application).
  •  The token-based authentication server does not keep the record of the user login. Basically, when we talking about tokens it is authentication with  (JWT)JSON web tokens.
         
In this authentication authorization head in form of JWT(JSON web tokens) but it also sent in the body of  POST request or query parameters. Token-based authentication also used with various web frameworks like React, Vue, Backbone which used as making single-page applications.

 So, tokens based authentication basically JSON web tokens are used on a large scale nowadays to authenticate the web-apps and other applications. The major advantages of JWT or tokens are it is stateless, scalable and having better performance and also protected from attacks like(XSS).

Rising of the AI in the human centric Development

Rising of the AI in the human centric Development The rising of the artificial intelligence in later 90's have make a rapid impact in field of technology and from 21st century the blooming of a mechanism makes several impact in various industries including software, education, healthcare and many more. As the world becomes increasingly reliant on technology, the role of  artificial intelligence  (AI) in human-centric development has risen to the forefront. From healthcare to transportation to education, AI is being used to improve the lives of people around the globe. Major areas where artificial intelligence AI makes an Impact One area where AI has made significant strides is in the healthcare industry. AI-powered virtual assistants can now assist doctors in diagnosing and treating patients, freeing up valuable time for medical professionals. In addition, AI-powered wearable devices can track a person's health and alert them to any potential issues. The transportation industr...

The Magic of Data Visualization using Matplotlib

      The Magic of Data Visualization Using Matplotlib Matplotlib is a multiplatform data visualization library built on Numpy arrays and designed to work with broader Scipy Stack. Matplotlib was developed by John Hunter in 2003 with version 0.1. This project is supported by Space Telescopic institute for complete development and extension for better capabilities. Matplotlib library enhances the plotting and visualization technique in python. As using the matplotlib we can create various plots, histogram, maps, chart and many more plotting. Visualization of Data     Important features of Matplotlib   It play and operates well with many operating systems and graphics back-ends.   Matplotlib have strength of running cross platform graphics engine smoothly and reliable to different types of graphics system.   There are various API’s and wrappers make this library to useful to dive into Matplotlib’s syntax to adjust the final plot output.

Components of Data Science Life Cycle

                                            Components of Data Science Life Cycle Data Science continues to evolve as the one of the most promising and demanding career of 21st century. The insights drawn from the data is very much useful and profitable for the businesses when processed with intelligent algorithms to find pattern and insights from it. The complete Data science follows a life cycle pattern which defines the steps of each stage of data and apply them to make it processed in more informative and easier way. The components of Data Science life cycle consist of five stages. Each stage have different tasks which perform on data during complete life-cycle span of Data science.                                                        ...
