The Science of Authentication

Join us at Excella for a virtual Meet-up with Kim Maida, Developer Relations Lead at Auth0. Kim will give her presentation remotely and be available for questions after. She will be discussing "The Science of Authentication."

Authentication and authorization can be daunting topics for many developers, including those of us working in the landscape of web apps. Jargon and acronyms (OAuth, OIDC, JWT, IETF)? How does cookie-based authentication work? How does token-based authentication work? New SPA authorization best practices?! What are the shortcomings and advantages we need to consider when adding authentication to browser-based applications? I’ll demystify the terminology and concepts of authentication and authorization and talk about the tools the Angular platform provides out of the box to make adding authentication and protecting routes easier for the developer.
