Identity 101

When you first set out to add authentication to your app, it might be scary. It is, after all, an important part of every successful application.

You start doing some research and quickly get overwhelmed by all the terminology and concepts you come across. What's a token and how do you use them? What does OpenID Connect do? Do I need single sign on?

Don't worry, in this talk, we'll go over the basics of identity. I'll try to explain some of the most common standards and best practices, and when to use them.
