Authentication in ASP.NET Core

Hosting
In collaboration with Lund&Bendsen, CNUG invites You to a night of deep diving ASP.NET Core authentication.

Presentation
Presentation will be done in English and will NOT be available online.

Authentication in .NET is a complex but essential part of modern software development. During this evening, Tore Nestenius will take you on a journey through authentication in ASP.NET Core and thoroughly explain how the different components interact to provide secure and efficient user management.

The goal is to give you an in-depth tour of the authentication sub-system in ASP.NET Core.

We will touch upon topics such as:

• What actually happens when we log in and out?
• What is contained in the session cookie?
• What happens when we challenge, authenticate, and forbid the user?
• What is meant by "schemes," and what controls these?
• What are ClaimsPrincipal and claims?
• What does the Data Protection API do, and why must we configure this when going into production?
• The most common authentication handlers, such as Cookie, OpenID Connect, JwtBearer
• The new BearerToken Handler in .NET 8
• and much more!

The focus of this presentation is on client authentication in ASP.NET Core. Protocols and concepts such as JWT tokens, OAuth, and OpenID-Connect will not be the focus.
