In Part II, we will take a look at Cognito User Pools and Custom Authorization for API Gateway using AWS Lambda.

What's covered: - AWS Mobile Services and Amazon Cognito - Introduction to Amazon Cognito Identity - Summary of Features - Use Cases

Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, deploy, secure, and monitor APIs at any scale.  In this presentation, you’ll find out how to quickly declare an API interface and connect it with code running on AWS Lambda.  Amazon API Gateway handles all of the tasks involved in accepting and processing up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent API calls, including traffic management, authorization and access control, monitoring, and API version management.  We will demonstrate how to build an API that uses AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) for authorization and Amazon Cognito to retrieve temporary credentials for your API calls. We will write the AWS Lambda function code in Java and build an iOS sample application in Objective C.

By leveraging serverless architectures, organisations are building and running modern applications and services with increased agility and simplified scalability—all without managing a single server. Many applications need to manage user identities and support sign-in/sign-up. In this session, we dive deep on how to support millions of user identities, as well as how to integrate with social identity providers and existing corporate directories. We will show the real-world design patterns that AWS customers use to implement authentication and authorisation. Speaker: Myles Hosford, Security Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services

Thinking as far as claims and issuers is an effective reflection that backs better approaches for securing your application. Claims have an understanding with the issuer and allow the claims of the user to be accepted only if the claims are issued by a trusted issuer. Authentication and authorization is explicit in CBAC as compared to other approaches. [1].

This document provides an overview and summary of Amazon Cognito. It discusses how Cognito can be used to authenticate users, manage user identities, and synchronize user data across devices. It also describes Cognito's features for user sign-up, sign-in, verification, authentication, authorization and managing user profiles. Several sample use cases are presented, such as using Cognito for user management, social login, and employee single sign-on. The document concludes with information on getting started with Cognito.

This document summarizes a workshop on architecting user authentication and authorization in apps using AWS services. The workshop covers Amazon Cognito for user management, authentication, and data synchronization across devices. It provides an overview of Cognito User Pools and Federated Identities, demonstrates an authentication workflow using the services, and discusses how to get started with a sample Angular app.

The document discusses securing serverless applications using Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, and Amazon Cognito. It describes how to build a basic 3-tier web app that is fully serverless, add authentication with Amazon Cognito by integrating with Cognito user pools, and implement authorization using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) by leveraging Cognito. Key benefits mentioned are that AWS Lambda and API Gateway provide automatic scaling with no infrastructure to manage, while security is improved by making use of IAM through Cognito.

You can now use Amazon Cognito to easily add user sign-up and sign-in to your mobile and web apps instead of worrying about user management, authentication, and sync across platforms and devices. With the User Pools feature, you can create your own user directory that can scale to hundreds of millions of users, and is fully managed so you don’t have to worry about building, securing, and scaling authentication to your apps. In this webinar, we will walk your through adding the process of adding user sign-up and sign-in to your mobile and web apps. Learning Objectives: *Learn to add user sign-up and sign-in to your mobile and web apps quickly and easily *Authenticate users through social identity providers such as Facebook, Twitter, or Amazon and provide secure access to AWS resources

Amazon Cognito lets you easily add user sign-up and sign-in to your mobile and web apps. Finding the right identity solution can often be challenging. In this session, we will look at how Cognito can support a wide range of authentication scenarios including customers, employees and systems to help you make the right choices.

This document discusses certificate authorities (CAs) and provides an example scenario for securing a web server using a CA. It defines a CA as an entity that issues digital certificates for use by other parties in public key infrastructure schemes. There are commercial CAs, as well as CAs run by institutions and governments. The document then describes the process a CA goes through to issue a certificate and how users can verify certificates. It provides a list of common CAs. Finally, it presents a scenario where a web server obtains a server certificate from a CA to secure its SSL port, and clients can obtain client certificates from the CA's website to access the secure site.

In this talk we discuss key architecture patterns for designing authentication and authorization solutions in complex microservices environments. We focus on the key advantages and capabilities of AWS Cognito User Pools and Federated Identities and explore how this service can address the challenges of implementing client to service, service to service and service to infrastructure auth. In addition, we discuss patterns and best practices around building a highly available and resilient decentralised authorization solution for microservices environments based on OIDC. We present a simple RBAC implementation together with fine-grained permissions and end to end automation.

1. The implicit grant type is used for mobile apps and web applications where client secret confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. It returns the access token directly to the client instead of an authorization code. 2. The user is redirected to the authorization server to log in and authorize access. If approved, the access token is encoded in the redirect URI returned to the client. 3. The client extracts the token and can use it to access protected resources, without having to make a separate request to exchange an authorization code for a token. However, the token is exposed in the redirect URI, so it has a short lifetime.

Authentication is the process of verifying a user's identity, while authorization determines what permissions and access levels a user has. Common authentication methods for APIs include basic authentication, bearer tokens, API keys, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect. OAuth 2.0 allows users to grant third party applications access to their account without sharing their credentials. It involves the issuance of tokens that applications use to make API calls. OpenID Connect builds upon OAuth 2.0 to provide authentication for APIs as well by exchanging tokens that contain user identity claims.

Learning Objectives: -Understand user identity and federation principles and practices -Learn how Amazon Cognito supports SAML and 3rd party IdP integration -Demonstrate how to use Amazon Cognito’s built-in UI for user identity management. App developers need a system to manage the identities of their users for sign-up, sign-in, and access control. Amazon Cognito now provides a public beta of built-in UI for developers to add user sign-up and sign-in pages to their application and customize the looks and feel of those pages simply through the Amazon Cognito console. Also in the public beta, Amazon Cognito now provides support for SAML based federation of user identities for integration with enterprise based directory systems and simplified support for 3rd party Identity Providers (IdP) such as Facebook and Google. This tech talk will provide a brief overview of Amazon Cognito and then discuss the details of the new features and capabilities of the public beta.

Ed Lima, a Solutions Architect at AWS, discusses adding user sign-in, user management, and security to mobile and web applications using Amazon Cognito. The presentation covers Amazon Cognito Identity for user authentication and authorization, Cognito User Pools for user management, and how applications can integrate with Cognito. It also demonstrates how Cognito can federate with identity providers and provides sample use cases for business to consumer, business to business, and IoT applications.

Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality. Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality. Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality. Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank? ** Episode Overview ** In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss: ⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality? ⦿ Why is patent quality important? ⦿ How to balance quality and budget ⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise ⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications https://www.aurorapatents.com/patently-strategic-podcast.html

Have you noticed the OpenSSF Scorecard badges on the official Dart and Flutter repos? It's Google's way of showing that they care about security. Practices such as pinning dependencies, branch protection, required reviews, continuous integration tests etc. are measured to provide a score and accompanying badge. You can do the same for your projects, and this presentation will show you how, with an emphasis on the unique challenges that come up when working with Dart and Flutter. The session will provide a walkthrough of the steps involved in securing a first repository, and then what it takes to repeat that process across an organization with multiple repos. It will also look at the ongoing maintenance involved once scorecards have been implemented, and how aspects of that maintenance can be better automated to minimize toil.
