For our October 12th meetup we are extremely fortunate to have Les Hazlewood, founder of Apache Shiro project, present to us a super-simple way to secure our applications. Apache Shiro is a flexible open-source application security framework that cleanly handles four cornerstones of application security: authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. In this presentation, Les will cover:
- why you might want to use Shiro instead of alternatives like JAAS or Spring Security
- the core architectural concepts of the framework
- how to enable all four cornerstones for any application (standalone, mobile phone, web based, etc)
- an overview of Shiro's innovative web support module and security filtering capabilities
- a short Shiro-based application demo
One again, Michael Viguilla from TEKsystems will be providing pizzas to keep everyone energized after a long day! About Les Hazlewood: Les Hazelwood is a founder and project lead for Apache Shiro and also the co-founder and CTO of Katasoft, an application security start-up. Prior to forming Katasoft, he was senior web architect at Bloomberg. Before that, he was an architect consultant for large-scale distributed systems at Delta Airlines and former CTO of a mid-size software engineering firm supporting educational and government agencies. Les has been actively involved in Open Source development for more than 8 years, committing or contributing to to projects like the Spring Framework, JBoss, OpenSpaces, and of course JSecurity, Apache Shiro's long-time predecessor. Les currently lives in Pacifica, CA and practices Kendo and studies Japanese when he's not programming.

I came to this event with a pretty solid understanding of security (problems/solutions) in Java, and yet I left with a real appreciation for the Shiro framework including its benefits and potential. Also, Les did not only appear to be extremely knowledgable/smart, but he also impressed me as a speaker. Thank you!

I thought that it was great. Well-presented and very helpful & compelling. I have already started a small project to test using it.

Very interesting presentation and I think just the right level of technical detail.

Hi there, I am looking for a Java person for my company, and I thought it might be nice to swing by with some info on the company and to meet some other Java folks. Would that be welcome, or annoying for all the people who are there? (I would come at the start, or at the end)
