Tech talk about OAuth, and open standard for API authentication. Originally broadcast on Justin.tv.
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 ... ;-)
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.
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.
OAuth and OpenID Connect are the two most important security specs that API providers need to be aware of. In this session, Travis Spencer, CEO of Curity, will cram in as much about these two protocols as will fit into 20 minutes.
An introduction to OAuth2 and OpenID Connect intended for a technical audience. This covers terminology, core concepts, and all the core grants/flows for OAuth2 and OpenID Connect
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
1. Passwords are insecure and inconvenient, especially on mobile devices, while alternative authentication methods are siloed and don't scale well.
2. FIDO separates user verification from authentication, supporting all verification methods and providing scalable convenience and security.
3. In FIDO, only public keys are stored on servers and authentication relies on private keys protected in authenticators, making it resistant to phishing and password theft.
This document summarizes a presentation on securing ASP.NET Web APIs. It discusses various security scenarios like transport layer security with HTTPS, authentication using tokens or two-factor authentication, and authorization using roles or claims. It provides an overview of the ASP.NET Web API architecture and how OWIN and middleware can be used. Examples are given of username/password authentication to obtain a token. The presentation aims to explain security concepts, demonstrate examples, and provide summaries.
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.
This document compares and contrasts three token-based authentication and authorization protocols: SAML, OAuth access tokens, and OpenID Connect ID tokens.
SAML uses XML assertions for identity and authorization. Access tokens in OAuth are opaque bearer strings, while ID tokens in OpenID Connect are JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) containing user information. SAML is for web services and uses WS-Security, while access tokens and ID tokens can be used by web and mobile apps via HTTP. Both SAML and ID tokens can be used to represent user identities, while access tokens and SAML assertions can authorize access to protected resources. Security considerations for each include confidentiality, integrity, and replay attacks.
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.

A comprehensive overview of the security concepts in the open source Hadoop stack in mid 2015 with a look back into the "old days" and an outlook into future developments.
Hadoop security has improved with additions such as HDFS ACLs, Hive column-level ACLs, HBase cell-level ACLs, and Knox for perimeter security. Data encryption has also been enhanced, with support for encrypting data in transit using SSL and data at rest through file encryption or the upcoming native HDFS encryption. Authentication is provided by Kerberos/AD with token-based authorization, and auditing tracks who accessed what data.

Today enterprises desire to move more and more of their data lakes to the cloud to help them execute faster, increase productivity, drive innovation while leveraging the scale and flexibility of the cloud. However, such gains come with risks and challenges in the areas of data security, privacy, and governance. In this talk we cover how enterprises can overcome governance and security obstacles to leverage these new advances that the cloud can provide to ease the management of their data lakes in the cloud. We will also show how the enterprise can have consistent governance and security controls in the cloud for their ephemeral analytic workloads in a multi-cluster cloud environment without sacrificing any of the data security and privacy/compliance needs that their business context demands. Additionally, we will outline some use cases and patterns as well as best practices to rationally manage such a multi-cluster data lake infrastructure in the cloud.

Treat your enterprise data lake indigestion: Enterprise ready security and go...DataWorks Summit
Most enterprises with large data lakes today are flying blind when it comes to the extent to which they can understand how the data in their data lakes is organized, accessed, and utilized to create real business value. Couple this with the need to democratize data, enterprises often realize they have created a data swamp loaded with all kinds of data assets without any curation and without appropriate security controls hoping that developers and analysts can responsibly collaborate to generate insights. In this talk we will provide a broad overview of how organizations can use open source frameworks such as Apache Ranger and Apache Knox to secure their data lakes and Apache Atlas to effectively provide open metadata and governance services for Hadoop ecosystem. We will provide an overview of the new features that have been added in each of these Apache projects recently and how enterprises can leverage these new features to build a robust security and governance model for their data lakes.

Information security in big data -privacy and data miningharithavijay94
The document discusses privacy and data mining in big data. It describes the four types of users in data mining - data providers, data collectors, data miners, and decision makers. Each have different privacy concerns. For data providers, the major concern is controlling sensitive data access. Approaches include limiting access, trading privacy for benefits, and providing false data. For data collectors, the concern is guaranteeing modified data preserves utility while removing sensitive information. Approaches include anonymization techniques. For data miners, the concern is preventing sensitive results. Approaches include privacy-preserving association rule and classification mining. For decision makers, the concerns are preventing unwanted disclosure of results and evaluating result credibility. Approaches include legal measures and using data provenance
Troubleshooting Kerberos in Hadoop: Taming the BeastDataWorks Summit
Kerberos is the ubiquitous authentication mechanism when it comes to secure any Hadoop Services. With recent updates in Hadoop core and various Apache Hadoop components, inherent Kerberos support has matured and has come a long way.
Understanding & configuring Kerberos is still a challenge but even more painful & frustrating is troubleshooting a Kerberos issue. There are lot of things (small & big) that can go wrong (and will go wrong!). This talk covers the Kerberos debugging part in detail and discusses the tools & tricks that can be used to narrow down any Kerberos issue.
Rather than discussing the issues and their resolution, we will focus on how to approach a Kerberos problem and do's / dont's in Kerberos scene. This talk will provide a step by step guide that will equip the audience for troubleshooting future Kerberos problems.
Agenda is to discuss:
- Systematic approach to Kerberos troubleshooting
- Kerberos Tools available in Hadoop arsenal
- Tips & Tricks to narrow down Kerberos issues quickly
- Some nasty Kerberos issues from Support trenches
Some prior knowledge on Kerberos basics will be appreciated but is not a prerequisite.

Vipin Rathor, Sr. Product Specialist (HDP Security), Hortonworks
As Hadoop becomes a critical part of Enterprise data infrastructure, securing Hadoop has become critically important. Enterprises want assurance that all their data is protected and that only authorized users have access to the relevant bits of information. In this session we will cover all aspects of Hadoop security including authentication, authorization, audit and data protection. We will also provide demonstration and detailed instructions for implementing comprehensive Hadoop security.
Abstract:
As organizations start to roll out or migrate data driven applications to Apache Hadoop, there are times when they have conflicting needs to leverage their full co-mingled data sets in Hadoop
while providing isolation of sections of such co-mingled data to a specific customer. Serving multiple customers in this manner is a typical multi-tenant usecase and one that can be challenging in Apache Hadoop.
This presentation walks through a number of patterns that can be leveraged for providing isolation of tenants based on the composability of Apache Knox for:
* Authentication/Federation Providers
* KnoxSSO
* Identity Assertion
* Tenant specific topologies
With these patterns, Knox can provide an infrastructure for robust tenant isolation and access control for application UIs and REST APIs for your data landscape, when suitably coupled with a cluster that has carefully considered infrastructure including:
* Kerberos
* Tenant specific user accounts, OUs and Groups within LDAP
* Authorization Policy that is aware of the tenant specific groups,
Summary:
We will walk through some of the patterns that have been used to enable such a multi-tenant environment as well as the specific considerations for topology, access control and user accounts involved with creating such an environment.
Apache Knox setup and hive and hdfs Access using KNOXAbhishek Mallick
There are two ways to set up Apache Knox on a server: using Ambari or manually. The document then provides steps for configuring Knox using Ambari, including entering a master secret password and restarting services. It also provides commands for testing HDFS and Hive access through Knox by curling endpoints or using Beeline.
Apache Knox Gateway "Single Sign On" expands the reach of the Enterprise UsersDataWorks Summit
Apache Knox Gateway is a proxy for interacting with Apache Hadoop clusters in a secure way providing authentication, service level authorization, and many other extensions to secure any HTTP interactions in your cluster. One main feature of Apache Knox Gateway is the ability to extend the reach of your REST APIs to the internet while still securing your cluster and working with Kerberos. Recent contributions to the Apache Knox community have added support for Single Sign On (SSO) based on Pac4j 1.8.9 which is a very powerful security engine which provides SSO support through SAML2, OAuth, OpenID, and CAS. In addition, through recent community contributions Apache Ambari, and Apache Ranger can now also provide SSO authentication through Knox. This paper will discuss the architecture of Knox SSO, it will explain how enterprise user could benefit by this feature and will present enterprise use cases for Knox SSO, and integration with open source Shibboleth, ADFS Windows server Idp support, and Okta cloud Idp.
Big Data and Security - Where are we now? (2015)Peter Wood
Peter Wood started looking at Big Data as a solution for Advanced Threat Protection in 2013. This presentation examines how Big Data is being used for security in 2015, how this market is developing and how realistic vendor offerings are.
Securing Hadoop's REST APIs with Apache Knox Gateway Hadoop Summit June 6th, ...Kevin Minder
The Apache Knox Gateway is an extensible reverse proxy framework for securely exposing REST APIs and HTTP-based services at a perimeter. It provides out of the box support for several common Hadoop services, integration with enterprise authentication systems, and other useful features. Knox is not an alternative to Kerberos for core Hadoop authentication or a channel for high-volume data ingest/export. It has graduated from the Apache incubator and is included in Hortonworks Data Platform releases to simplify access, provide centralized control, and enable enterprise integration of Hadoop services.
Apache Hadoop: design and implementation. Lecture in the Big data computing course (http://twiki.di.uniroma1.it/twiki/view/BDC/WebHome), Department of Computer Science, Sapienza University of Rome.
The fundamentals and best practices of securing your Hadoop cluster are top of mind today. In this session, we will examine and explain the components, tools, and frameworks used in Hadoop for authentication, authorization, audit, and encryption of data and processes. See how the latest innovations can let you securely connect more data to more users within your organization.
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.

API Security Teodor Cotruta discusses API security and provides an overview of key concepts. The document discusses how API security involves protecting APIs against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, perusal, inspection, recording or destruction. It also outlines methods for implementing API security such as HTTP authentication, TLS, identity delegation, OAuth 1.0, OAuth 2.0, Federation, SAML, JWT, OpenID Connect, JWToken, JWSignature and JWEncryption.
An OAuth 1.0 presentation I gave to an Italian TLC Telco, before OAuth consortium joined IETF.
Shows also some differences and combinations with OpenID
Basic auth for your web services sucks for several reasons. OAuth is a standard protocol for doing token based auth, similar to how flickr auths their desktop apps. OAuth is also an ideal companion to openid, as it doesn't require a local username/password. In this talk we'll take a closer look at how OAuth is built up, as well as look into how you can easily use OAuth for your own APIs, with examples in Catalyst well as Jifty and pure mod_perl.
This document discusses token based authentication in ASP.NET Web API 2 projects. It covers the basic concepts of token authentication including the roles in OAuth 2.0 of resource owners, clients, authorization servers and resource servers. It also summarizes the different OAuth 2.0 client types, authorization grant types, and development options for implementing token authentication using OWIN middleware or DotNetOpenAuth.
OAuth is an open protocol that allows secure authorization of APIs in a simple and standard way. It allows users to grant external applications access to their information, such as social media profiles or bank accounts, without sharing their passwords. Common uses of OAuth include authorizing access to APIs from apps, sites, and services like Facebook, Google, Twitter, Dropbox, and many more. The presentation discusses when and why to use OAuth for authentication and authorization, as well as what OAuth is and is not.
This document discusses OAuth 2.0 and provides recommendations for its use. It summarizes the history of OAuth 1.0 and 2.0, key concepts of OAuth 2.0 like grant types and token types, and real-world usage by major APIs. It recommends sticking to the basic OAuth 2.0 standard without extensions like refresh tokens for most use cases, and authenticating users through existing authentication mechanisms rather than custom implementations.
Mobile Authentication - Onboarding, best practices & anti-patternsPieter Ennes
We know and love our authentication standards for the web, yet on mobile we often still resort to usernames & passwords in our apps.
This presentation explores OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth 2.0 in the context of mobile apps to see how they decouple authentication logic from your app and promote simpler and more flexible patterns for user authentication and API authorization.
This presentation was first given in the London Mobile Security Meetup
https://www.meetup.com/London-Mobile-Developer-Security/
This document provides an overview of OAuth and OAuth2 authentication protocols. It discusses the key components of OAuth including the resource owner, client, authorization server and access tokens. It explains the OAuth workflow and signature process. It also covers OAuth2 improvements like removing the need for cryptography and access tokens being short-lived. Finally, it discusses implementations of OAuth in Ruby using gems like OAuth and Faraday as well as OmniAuth for multi-provider authentication in Rails applications.
Accessing APIs using OAuth on the federated (WordPress) webFelix Arntz
OAuth 2.0 is commonly used for authentication when accessing APIs from third-party applications. However, using OAuth in WordPress plugins poses unique challenges due to WordPress being distributed and open-source. The presenter introduces a "Site Kit Service" approach that centralizes client credentials to address these challenges. It generates unique site credentials per WordPress site and proxies the OAuth flow to delegate access tokens securely while meeting UX and security best practices for OAuth in WordPress plugins.
OAuth 2.0 provides an easier way to authorize users compared to OAuth 1.0 by relying on SSL instead of complex signatures. The process involves registering an app, redirecting the user to LinkedIn for authorization, and upgrading the authorization code for an access token. Open source libraries are available to help implement OAuth 2.0 in various programming languages.
The document discusses the OAuth protocol which allows websites and applications to access user account information on other sites without providing usernames and passwords. It provides an open standard for authorization that allows APIs to interact with user data through passwordless interactions. OAuth allows developers to build applications that make use of other sites' data and is supported by many large companies like Google, Yahoo, and Twitter as a standard for API authorization.
OAuth is an open standard for authorization that allows users to share private resources, such as photos or email, stored on one website with another website or application without having to share their passwords. It allows third party applications to access protected resources by obtaining temporary access tokens from the resource owner by authenticating with the resource server. The document discusses the roles, security aspects, implementations, and advantages of using the OAuth standard for authorization in web APIs and applications.
This document provides an overview of OAuth 2.0. It discusses what OAuth is, its history and terminology. It then covers the main authorization flows in OAuth 2.0 including server-side web applications, client-side web applications, resource owner passwords, and client credentials. Considerations for using OAuth in mobile apps are also outlined. The document concludes with information about tools, libraries and a demo for implementing OAuth.
OAuth is an open standard that allows users to grant third-party access to their account information without sharing their passwords. It works by using tokens to authorize specific types of access, allowing users to securely share data between websites or applications. OAuth is widely adopted and brings interconnectivity by allowing users to log into one service using their login credentials from another participating service.
Top 25 AI Coding Agents for Vibe Coders to Use in 2025.pdfSOFTTECHHUB
I've tested over 50 AI coding tools in the past year, and I'm about to share the 25 that actually work. Not the ones with flashy marketing or VC backing – the ones that will make you code faster, smarter, and with way less frustration.
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.

Exploring the advantages of on-premises Dell PowerEdge servers with AMD EPYC processors vs. the cloud for small to medium businesses’ AI workloads
AI initiatives can bring tremendous value to your business, but you need to support your new AI workloads effectively. That means choosing the best possible infrastructure for your needs—and many companies are finding that the cloud isn’t right for them. According to a recent Rackspace survey of IT executives, 69 percent of companies have moved some of their applications on-premises from the cloud, with half of those citing security and compliance as the reason and 44 percent citing cost.
On-premises solutions provide a number of advantages. With full control over your security infrastructure, you can be certain that all compliance requirements remain firmly in the hands of your IT team. Opting for on-premises also gives you the ability to design your infrastructure to the precise needs of that team and your new AI workloads. Depending on the workload, you may also see performance benefits, along with more predictable costs. As you start to build your next AI initiative, consider an on-premises solution utilizing AMD EPYC processor-powered Dell PowerEdge servers.
