.NET is a versatile and powerful framework designed for building modern applications, including web, desktop, and mobile solutions. It provides a rich set of libraries and tools that allow developers to create robust, scalable, and high-performance applications. With its support for multiple programming languages and cross-platform development through .NET Core and .NET 6.0 or later, .NET is a popular choice for developing secure and feature-rich applications.

Implementing authentication and authorization in your .NET application is crucial for managing user access, safeguarding sensitive information, and ensuring the security of your app. By integrating with Asgardeo, you can leverage industry-standard protocols like OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) to provide your users with a seamless and secure login experience. This integration enhances user experience, protects sensitive data, and ensures compliance with modern security standards and regulations.
