Introduction to OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect

OAuth is a delegation framework that appears on the radar of security professionals and developers more and more every day. OAuth intersects with authentication and access control, yet you would not likely use OAuth in and of itself for authentication, session management or an access control in your applications. Even more confusing, OAuth is not a standard and various service providers will likely have different implementations. Let's say it again, OAuth is not a standard - its a framework for delegation. So this leaves us with questions! What really is delegation? Where does OAuth fit in? How can I use OAuth in a secure fashion? To add more confusion to this topic, OpenID Connect was build on top of OAuth 2.0. OpenID Connect has become an industry leading standard for user identification. It is used by many of the largest organizations on the web. When implemented properly, OpenID Connect can be a reliable and secure solution for user identification. When implemented improperly, OpenID Connect can leave a gaping whole in your infrastructure that leaks important capabilities to unwanted parties. This talk with provide an introduction to both topics and what their intended use is really for.

OAuth Tokens As Your Identity API

You have an OAuth server, now what? In this talk, Jacob will illustrate how OAuth and OpenID Connect can be leveraged to deliver agility and scalability while also ensuring security. Distributed systems bring with them complexities surrounding identity. How should end-user identities be traced and delegated? How can we manage user permissions across groups and in large organizations? Jacob will explore a standards-based approach using protocols like OAuth and OpenID Connect, highlighting patterns for large scale deployments while keeping things simple. We’ll also see how identity is preserved and utilized within complex software delivery networks like Kubernetes.
