Serverless #23: Identity 101 & Serverless Authentication

Update:

Big thanks to Christopher Mende of Google Cloud who is coming along on Tuesday to say hello, tell us about some new Google Cloud features and buy some pizza!

==============================
After a short break, we're back!

This time we've got Mehul Patel of Zimbra presenting an exciting talk on authentication! Mehul also acts as a Mozilla Reps Mentor, a CAC @ Mozilla, an Auth0 Ambassador and he is a ServerlessDays AKL 2018 Veteran! Follow him on twitter here: http://twitter.com/rowdymehul

Mehul's talk is intended to act as a big picture introduction to several key topics, After this talk you'll have gained a frame of reference on: Serverless, Authentication, OAuth, SAML, JWTs, Claims, Tokens and all the other mysterious beasts that you could encounter when working with identities.

GOAL :
Educate people about Authentication & Authorization.
Introduce people to Serverless and the JWT format
Learn about the different concepts involved in securing a server

PREREQUISITES:
Come along with an open-mind!
Be Hungry! As always we'll have pizza and drinks!

Cheers,
The Serverless Auckland Meetup team
