Access Granted: Demystifying the identity options

Brisbane Full Stack User Group February: Access Granted: Demystifying the identity options with Matt Goldman

How do you manage access to the applications you build? When it comes to securing your software, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the vast number of options available, and confused by the sheer volume of information; not to mention often poor documentation.

‘Identification’, ‘authentication’, ‘authorisation’; ‘claims’, ‘roles’, ‘tokens’; ‘OpenID’, ‘OAuth’, ‘B2C’, ‘Auth0’.

Ever wondered what all these mean or how they fit together?

Access granted: you are now authorised to hear Matt cut through the confusion, explain these terms, and show you how to untangle them to choose the right identity option for your solution. See them in action working through different scenarios, from simple proof of concepts, through to corporate enterprise solutions and public facing consumer apps.
