#### About this talk

In part one of our webinar series with Jonatan Männchen, he reflects on his experience working with the SAFE team at Erlang Solutions to audit a security-focused OpenID Connect client library. The discussion highlights the role of independent reviews in building trust around open source projects, particularly those handling sensitive identity and authentication tasks.

Jonatan shares how the SAFE audit process helped validate the library’s design, identify a subtle issue, and improve the implementation. He also offers insights into responsible vulnerability disclosure and the value of taking a proactive approach to security in the BEAM ecosystem.
This session is especially relevant for developers working on authentication, open standards, or secure infrastructure within Erlang and Elixir.

#### What you’ll learn:

• How SAFE supports secure development through expert audit and review
• How Jonatan addressed a potential vulnerability found during the audit
• Why the process led to a cleaner and more thoughtful design
• The role of collaboration in building safer systems in the BEAM ecosystem
