• Jānis Lācis from If will give a talk about Modern Authentication.
  Nowadays the topic about IAM (Identity and Access Management) is getting more relevant, when considering ways to secure applications, identify users. In order to to understand how does it work one must understand modern authentication and authorization. OAuth2.0 and OIDC are globally used protocols, which teach us how to implement and handle all the necessary elements in this IAM world. Quite often this is a “knowledge gap” for an average developer, so it might be valuable to understand the basics underneath.
  You will:
  – examine closer how do OAuth/OIDC protocols operate
  – learn to understand common concepts like tokens, authorization server, etc.
  – learn about commonly used OAuth flows

Started out as a developer many years ago while living close by with Microsoft ecosystem – C#, .NET, Azure, etc. During last 6 years Jānis has been working closely not only with MS technologies but on top of that building Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions. IAM solutions require quite a lot of attention to detail and specific knowledge to deliver both centralized solutions and consumer specific.

• Atis Straujums from Zimperium will give a talk on “White-box Cryptography: Protecting Keys on Insecure Devices”.
  White-box cryptography makes it possible to use cryptography on insecure devices where attackers can observe memory at run-time and have full control over code execution. It is a software-only approach that protects the used keys from being exposed and extracted. This talk will explore how white-box cryptography works, when one would need to use it, and what solutions are available
