Basics of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect

Andreas Falk at All The Talks 2020 - Security

Microservice architectures bring many benefits to software applications. But at the same time, new challenges of distributed systems have also been introduced. One of these challenges is how to implement a flexible, secure and efficient authentication and authorization scheme in such architectures.
The common solution for this is to use stateless token-based authentication and authorization by adopting standard protocols like OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC).

In this talk, you will get a concise introduction into OAuth 2.0 and OIDC.
We will look at OAuth 2.0 and OIDC grant flows and discuss the differences between OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect. Finally, you will be introduced to the current best practices currently evolved by the working group.

So If you finally want to understand the base concepts of OAuth 2.0 and OIDC in a short time then this is the talk you should go for.
