This document provides an introduction and overview of OAuth 2.0. It discusses the key components and actors in the OAuth framework, including clients, protected resources, resource owners, and authorization servers. It describes the major steps of an OAuth transaction, issuing and using tokens. Specifically, it outlines the authorization code grant flow, how clients request and receive access tokens from authorization servers to access protected resources on behalf of resource owners. It also defines common OAuth concepts like scopes, refresh tokens, and authorization grants.
The document provides an overview of the history and development of OAuth standards for authorization. It describes some of the issues with early implementations that prompted the creation of OAuth 1.0, including services storing user passwords and lack of ability to revoke access. OAuth 1.0 introduced signatures to address these issues. OAuth 2.0 replaced signatures with HTTPS and defines common flows for different use cases, including authorization code, implicit, password, and client credentials grants.
The document discusses stateless authorization using OAuth2 and JSON Web Tokens (JWT). It begins with an introduction to authentication, authorization, and single sign-on (SSO). It then provides an in-depth explanation of OAuth2 actors, flows, and grant types. The Authorization Code Grant flow and Implicit Grant flow are explained in detail. Finally, it introduces JWT and why it is a suitable standard for representing OAuth2 access tokens since it meets the requirements and libraries are available.
OAuth 2 is an authorization framework that allows applications to access user data and perform actions on their behalf. It defines flows for applications to request access, and provides short-lived credentials in response. The main roles in OAuth are the resource owner (user), client (application), resource server (API), and authorization server (issues tokens). Common grant types include authorization code, implicit, and client credentials flows. Tokens returned include access and refresh tokens, and OpenID Connect adds optional ID tokens containing user information.
This document discusses authentication and authorization frameworks like OAuth and OpenID Connect. It provides an overview of key concepts like authentication, authorization, roles in OAuth like resource owner, client, authorization server and resource server. It explains the authorization code grant flow in OAuth and how OpenID Connect builds upon OAuth to provide identity features. It also compares OpenID Connect to SAML and discusses Microsoft and TechCello implementations of these specifications.
It seems that OAuth 2.0 is everywhere these days. Whether you are building a hot new single page web application (SPA), a native mobile experience, or just trying to integrate with the API economy, you can't go far without running into the popular authorization framework for REST/APIs and social authentication.
During Oktane15 (https://www.okta.com/oktane15/), Karl McGuinness, our Senior Director of Identity, demystified the powerful, yet often misunderstood, world of OAuth 2.0 and shared details on Okta’s growing support for OpenID Connect.
This slide deck gives an introduction to OAuth 2.0, starting with some concepts, explaining the flow plus a few hints. The reminder of the slides are about implementing an OAuth 2.0 server using the Apache Amber library (renamed to Apache Oltu lately). My impression is that many developers shy away as soon as they hear "security" and so I did not only want to talk about the concepts of OAuth 2.0 but also wanted to show how easily you can implement an OAuth 2.0 server ... hope it reduces the fear of contact a bit ... ;-)
This 20-minute presentation introduces OAuth through defining it, explaining why it is useful, providing background information, defining key terminology, outlining the workflow, and including a live example. It defines OAuth as a method for users to grant third-party access to their resources without sharing passwords and to grant limited access. It highlights issues with traditional client-server authentication and how OAuth addresses them. The presentation then covers OAuth background, terminology like consumer and service provider, the redirection-based authorization workflow, and concludes with a live example and references for further information.
The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework enables a third-party
application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on
behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction
between the resource owner and the HTTP service, or by allowing
the third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf.
The document discusses OAuth 2.0 and how it provides a method for third party applications to access private resources from an API, while allowing the resource owners to authorize access without sharing credentials. It describes the four main roles in OAuth 2.0 - resource owner, client, authorization server, and resource server. It also summarizes the three main authorization flows - authorization code, implicit, and client credentials flows. The document provides details on how each flow works, including the request and response parameters.
OpenID Connect is a simple identity layer that allows clients like mobile or web apps to verify user identities based on an authentication performed by an authorization server, as well as obtain basic profile information about users. It is built on OAuth 2.0 and defined by the OpenID Foundation. The specification defines core features as well as optional discovery, dynamic registration, session management, and OAuth 2.0 response types. Major companies like Google, Salesforce, and Microsoft have implemented or are deploying OpenID Connect to provide single sign-on for web and mobile clients.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that allows third party applications to access user data without requiring username and passwords. It works by granting limited access tokens to third party apps after obtaining user consent. Many major tech companies use OAuth 2.0 including Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Microsoft. There are different OAuth 2.0 flows depending on the type of application, with the Authorization Code Grant and Implicit Grant being most common. It provides benefits like integration of third party apps and limited scope access, but also has potential drawbacks around complexity, interoperability, and security.
This document summarizes a presentation about OpenID Connect. OpenID Connect is an identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol that allows clients to verify the identity of the user based on the authentication performed by an authorization server, as well as to obtain basic profile information about the user. It defines core functionality for modern identity frameworks by standardizing how clients and servers discover and use identity data exposed by identity providers and how clients can verify that identity data. The presenter discusses how OpenID Connect provides a simple yet powerful way to authenticate users and share attributes about them between websites and applications in an interoperable manner.

Rest API Security - A quick understanding of Rest API SecurityMohammed Fazuluddin
This document discusses REST API security methods. It provides an overview of authentication and authorization and describes common security methods like cookie-based authentication, token-based authentication, OAuth, OpenID, and SAML. It then compares OAuth2, OpenID, and SAML and discusses best practices for securing REST APIs like protecting HTTP methods, validating URLs, using security headers, and encoding JSON input.
This document provides guidelines for securing managed APIs. It discusses defining an API's audience and whether they are direct users or relying parties. It also covers bootstrapping trust either directly through user credentials or brokerd through a third party. The document then discusses various OAuth 2.0 grant types and federated access scenarios. It emphasizes using TLS, strong credentials, short-lived tokens, and access control to secure APIs and their communication.
The document discusses OAuth2 and Spring Security. It provides an overview of OAuth2 concepts including the four main roles (resource owner, resource server, client, and authorization server), four common grant types (authorization code, implicit, resource owner password credentials, and client credentials), and how to implement OAuth2 flows in Spring Security. Sample OAuth2 applications using Spring Security are also mentioned.
The document discusses demystifying APIs. It begins with an introduction to APIs, including their evolution and benefits. It then discusses RESTful APIs and their key aspects like uniform interface and use of HTTP methods. The document outlines best practices for API design, development, and challenges. It provides examples of designing APIs using Node.js and Hapi.js and discusses challenges like security, authentication, rate limiting, and scalability. Tools mentioned include Express, Swagger, Postman, and Kong.
SAML, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect are the three most common authentication protocols. SAML provides authentication and authorization assertions while OAuth 2.0 focuses on authorization. OpenID Connect builds on OAuth 2.0 by adding authentication features and using claims to provide user information. It has a lower implementation barrier than SAML and is well-suited for mobile and API use cases. The document compares the protocols and their applications, security considerations, and history of adoption.
OAuth2 is a protocol for authorization that allows clients limited access to user accounts and specifies four methods for obtaining an access token, including the authorization code flow. The authorization code flow involves a client redirecting a user to an authorization server, the user authorizing access, and the authorization server issuing an authorization code to the client, which can then request an access token to access a resource server on the user's behalf, while avoiding exposing the user's credentials directly.
The document discusses API security patterns and practices. It covers topics like API gateways, authentication methods like basic authentication and OAuth 2.0, authorization with XACML policies, and securing APIs through measures like TLS, JWTs, and throttling to ensure authentication, authorization, confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, and availability. Key points covered include the gateway pattern, direct vs brokered authentication, JSON web tokens for self-contained access tokens, and combining OAuth and XACML for fine-grained access control.

The document provides an introduction to API security with OAUTH 2.0, describing the basics of authentication and authorization, the four primary grant types including the authorization code grant process and actors. It also discusses criticisms of OAUTH including a lack of interoperability and being designed for hosted applications in 2006. Alternative security approaches like Oz are presented that build on the lessons learned from OAUTH.
Informatica push down optimization implementationdivjeev
The document discusses a new pushdown optimization option available in Informatica PowerCenter 8 that can improve data integration performance and scalability. It works by generating database-specific logic to represent the overall data flow and pushing the execution of that logic into the database to perform data transformations. This allows taking advantage of database processing power and avoids extracting large amounts of data. The option provides flexibility in controlling where processing takes place and leverages a single design environment. Pushing logic to the database can significantly increase performance by avoiding extracting and reloading large amounts of data.
OAuth is an open standard for authorization that allows apps to access user accounts without passwords. It provides a secure way for users to authorize apps to access their data by granting tokens with specific and limited permissions. This allows for low friction innovation on open platforms while maintaining security. As apps become key intermediaries connecting users and businesses, standardizing on OAuth is important to securely enable this new wave of digital innovation.
The document discusses identity management protocols OpenID and OAuth. OpenID allows users to use a single digital identity across multiple websites, while OAuth allows websites to grant third party applications access to user data without sharing passwords. The document outlines the roles, flows, and differences between the two protocols, and proposes a project to implement an OAuth service provider and consumer as an example.
OAuth is more than an authentication protocol. A decade from now, OAuth will be viewed as the great enabler of new business models and wealth creation in the app economy.
In this session we'll investigate why many business development ideas don't make it past the whiteboard and how OAuth changes that. We'll tickle our imaginations and explore what is possible in a world where crossing trust boundaries is done with lower risk, more control and higher security.

This document discusses open source authentication and authorization for web applications. It describes authenticating users through standards like LDAP, SAML and secure tokens. Single sign-on is presented as a way to use one set of credentials across multiple applications and organizations through identity federation. Authorization controls what resources a user can access based on their group membership, roles or dynamic conditions. Rather than embedding this logic into each application, the document proposes managing authentication and authorization as a centralized service. This allows applications to integrate and leverage identity services through pluggable authentication modules built on standards.
Introduction to OAuth 2.0 - the technology you need but never really learnedMikkel Flindt Heisterberg
This document provides an overview of OAuth 2.0 and how it can be used by developers to access user data from an API or service without requiring the user's credentials. It begins with explaining the problem that OAuth solves by allowing access to user data without sharing usernames and passwords. It then demonstrates the OAuth flow through diagrams and descriptions of the steps. These include generating an authorization URL, exchanging the authorization code for tokens, making requests with the access token, and refreshing tokens. The document concludes by noting that a demonstration of OAuth will be shown.
OAuth In The Real World : 10 actual implementations you can't guessMehdi Medjaoui
This document summarizes the key challenges with OAuth implementations across different providers. It notes that while OAuth 1.0 and 2.0 were created to standardize authorization, in practice most major providers have implemented OAuth in non-standard and non-interoperable ways, with variations in parameters, response fields, API authorization methods, and scope formats. This has led to confusion for developers trying to support multiple providers. The document advocates for solutions that abstract away these differences to make OAuth usage simpler and more consistent.

Angular-Meteor allows developers to build AngularJS applications using the Meteor full-stack framework. It allows existing AngularJS apps and third-party libraries to work natively on Meteor. Developers can write apps with Meteor and use their existing Angular knowledge, apps, and libraries. The framework provides an easy way to learn a new technology by leveraging existing skills and code.
OpenID and OAuth are protocols for online identity and authorization. OpenID allows users to sign in to multiple websites using a single digital identity. It provides single sign-on capabilities. OAuth allows websites and applications to access protected resources from another service, without requiring users to share their passwords. It enables authorization for third party applications to access protected resources. Both protocols address common needs around user authentication and authorization on the web.
OAuth is an open standard for authentication that allows users to log into third party applications using their existing credentials from another service, without having to expose their password. OEmbed is a format for converting URLs into embeddable rich content like photos or videos. It allows websites to display content from other sites without having to manually embed HTML or write custom code. Both standards aim to simplify authentication and content embedding while keeping users' data and identities secure.
This document provides an overview of the OAuth authorization framework, including definitions of key terms like access tokens and request tokens. It explains the typical OAuth workflow using an example where a photo printing service (the consumer) wants access to a user's private photos (protected resources) hosted by a photo sharing site (the service provider). The workflow involves the consumer getting a request token, redirecting the user to authorize access, and then exchanging the authorized request token for an access token that can be used to access the protected resources. The document also covers OAuth security features like digital signatures and use of nonces and timestamps to prevent replay attacks.

The document provides instructions for obtaining authorization tokens from LinkedIn's API using the OAuth 1.0a authentication process. It explains the request token and access token exchange cycles, including building authorization headers, redirecting users, and handling callback URLs or PIN codes. Key aspects like nonces, timestamps, and correctly incorporating the token secret into the signing process are emphasized.
The document provides an overview of implementing OAuth authentication. It discusses:
1) The key steps in the OAuth process including registering an application, obtaining a request token, redirecting the user to authenticate, and exchanging the request token for an access token.
2) Key terminology used in OAuth like provider, consumer, user, token, and secret.
3) Examples of OAuth flows and code for both providers (websites with protected data) and consumers (applications wanting access to that data).
OAuth allows users to grant third-party access to their resources like API's and websites without sharing their passwords. It uses authorization codes to obtain access tokens securely. The document discusses OAuth concepts like actors, endpoints, grant types and flows in detail to explain how OAuth works and how to implement it using PingFederate as the authorization server.
The Identity Problem of the Web and how to solve itBastian Hofmann
The document discusses identity on the web and potential solutions. It describes issues with having separate identities and passwords for different services. It then summarizes various single sign-on solutions like Microsoft Live ID, Facebook Connect, and OpenID. OpenID is explained in more detail, covering how it works and its limitations. OAuth is also summarized. The document argues that a simpler specification building on OAuth 2.0 that is easier to implement could help solve the identity problem on the web.
This document discusses OAuth 2.0 and its use for API security. It describes the key concepts in OAuth including the roles of clients, resource owners, authorization servers, and resource servers. It explains the authorization code, implicit, resource owner password credentials, and client credentials grant types. It also covers refresh tokens, token introspection, and token revocation, including examples of how these concepts work together to securely authenticate users and grant access to protected resources.
Jane wants to share photos from Faji, a photo sharing site, with her grandmother using Beppa, a photo printing service. Beppa uses OAuth to access Jane's private photos on Faji without needing her username and password. Beppa first requests a request token from Faji, then redirects Jane to Faji for authorization. Jane approves access, and Beppa exchanges the request token for an access token to access Jane's photos and print them for her grandmother. OAuth allows Beppa to access protected resources like Jane's photos using tokens instead of her credentials.
Jane wants to share photos from Faji, a photo sharing site, with her grandmother using Beppa, a photo printing service. Beppa uses OAuth to access Jane's private photos on Faji without needing her username and password. Beppa first requests a temporary request token from Faji, then redirects Jane to Faji to approve access. After Jane approves, Beppa exchanges the request token for a long-term access token that it can use to access Jane's private photos and print them for her grandmother. OAuth allows Beppa to access protected resources like Jane's photos on Faji securely using tokens instead of her login credentials.
OAuth2 is a protocol for authorization that allows clients to access user resources stored on a resource server. It separates the client application from the resource owner credentials. The authorization code flow involves a client redirecting a user to an authorization server, the user authenticating and authorizing access, and the authorization server returning an authorization code to the client which can then request an access token to access protected resources from the resource server on the user's behalf, without exposing the user's credentials directly. This flow allows for single sign-on across microservices and fine-grained authorization of delegated access to resources.
Ember Authentication and Authorization with ToriiCory Forsyth
This document discusses authentication and authorization in Ember applications using the Torii library. It begins with an overview of authentication and authorization concepts. It then introduces Torii as a library that simplifies obtaining OAuth credentials from third-party providers and managing authentication state. The document provides examples of using Torii to handle the OAuth implicit grant flow, authorization code flow, and social login flows. It also discusses Torii's use of providers, adapters, and sessions to manage authentication.
The document discusses securing APIs with OAuth 2.0. It introduces the key players in OAuth 2.0 - the resource owner, resource server, client, and authorization server. It then summarizes three OAuth 2.0 grant types: the client credentials grant, which allows a client to obtain an access token to access public resources without a resource owner; the authorization code grant, which exchanges an authorization code for an access token after the resource owner authorizes the client; and the implicit grant, which returns an access token directly to the client without exchanging an authorization code. Refresh tokens are also discussed, which allow clients to obtain new access tokens once the initial access token expires.
OAuth is an open protocol that allows secure authorization for API access. It works by issuing access tokens that grant access to specific resources without sharing login credentials. The OAuth flow involves 3 steps - obtaining a request token, user authentication, and exchanging the request token for an access token. The request and access tokens are used to sign API requests by calculating a signature based on the token secret and other parameters. This allows APIs to verify the identity of the requesting application and user without exposing sensitive credentials.

About Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.

Boosting MySQL with Vector Search -THE VECTOR SEARCH CONFERENCE 2025 .pdfAlkin Tezuysal
As the demand for vector databases and Generative AI continues to rise, integrating vector storage and search capabilities into traditional databases has become increasingly important. This session introduces the *MyVector Plugin*, a project that brings native vector storage and similarity search to MySQL. Unlike PostgreSQL, which offers interfaces for adding new data types and index methods, MySQL lacks such extensibility. However, by utilizing MySQL's server component plugin and UDF, the *MyVector Plugin* successfully adds a fully functional vector search feature within the existing MySQL + InnoDB infrastructure, eliminating the need for a separate vector database. The session explains the technical aspects of integrating vector support into MySQL, the challenges posed by its architecture, and real-world use cases that showcase the advantages of combining vector search with MySQL's robust features. Attendees will leave with practical insights on how to add vector search capabilities to their MySQL systems.
Neural representations have shown the potential to accelerate ray casting in a conventional ray-tracing-based rendering pipeline. We introduce a novel approach called Locally-Subdivided Neural Intersection Function (LSNIF) that replaces bottom-level BVHs used as traditional geometric representations with a neural network. Our method introduces a sparse hash grid encoding scheme incorporating geometry voxelization, a scene-agnostic training data collection, and a tailored loss function. It enables the network to output not only visibility but also hit-point information and material indices. LSNIF can be trained offline for a single object, allowing us to use LSNIF as a replacement for its corresponding BVH. With these designs, the network can handle hit-point queries from any arbitrary viewpoint, supporting all types of rays in the rendering pipeline. We demonstrate that LSNIF can render a variety of scenes, including real-world scenes designed for other path tracers, while achieving a memory footprint reduction of up to 106.2x compared to a compressed BVH.
