Learn why the login box alone just won’t cut it – and how to move beyond it – as life and development continue to evolve.
Our day begins with a keynote exploring the problem of passwords, why authentication is more than a login box, and what’s next for customer identity. You’ll learn from industry and community leaders about modern techniques to build more secure apps, and get “hands on” with labs to put them in practice. Auth0 technical experts will be on-site to support one-on-one architecture reviews and offer opportunities to make new connections between sessions. We hope you can join us!
Building user login into your app used to be as simple as adding a form and a couple of database columns. These days, identity and access management is much more complex. Modern development means constantly balancing privacy and security with user experience, while trying to retain the flexibility and control you need to build great applications. In this keynote, you’ll learn how the identity landscape has evolved in recent years and what you can do to stay on top of it. You’ll also learn about identity trends that we’re watching and investing in to help you stay at the bleeding edge.
In this talk, I will give a quick overview of the past, present, and future of authentication. From basic authentication to passwordless biometric authentication using the web authentication API, and everything in between. The audience does not need any specific knowledge as this talk will not go into implementation details but aims to give a view of what's to come in terms of authentication.
JSON Web Tokens, or JWTs for short, are all over the web. They can be used to track bits of information about a user in a very compact way and can be used in APIs for authorization purposes. Join me and learn what JWTs are, what problems it solves, how you can use JWTs, and how to be safer when using JWTs on your applications.
Knowing who your authenticated user is and whether they have access to your application is one thing. Figuring out if they should be able to perform a certain action on a specific resource is another. Protecting our data and allowing users to only do what they should be allowed to do can become quite complex as your application grows. Luckily there are multiple authorization approaches available. Wondering what the best solution for your application is? Let’s find out how we can protect our content by using roles and permissions, or attribute based authorization all the way to fine grained authorization looking for relationships between the user, actions, and resources.
