Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

In today’s digital landscape, securing user authentication and authorization is essential for web and mobile applications. OAuth, OpenID, and SAML are widely adopted security protocols that facilitate safe and seamless user authentication across platforms. Understanding these protocols is critical for developers, IT professionals, and security analysts who need to integrate secure access management in their applications. This course provides a comprehensive overview of these identity standards, exploring their functionalities, differences, and best practices to ensure robust security implementations.

This course begins with foundational identity concepts, including authentication, authorization, and multi-factor authentication. It then explores OAuth 2.0, detailing user and non-user authorization flows, followed by an in-depth examination of SAML authentication and its comparison with OAuth 2. OpenID is introduced as an extension of OAuth 2.0, emphasizing its authentication capabilities. The final section covers practical security considerations, best practices, and real-world applications to enhance authentication security in modern web and mobile applications.

By the end of this course, learners will understand authentication standards, how to implement secure authorization flows, and best practices for securing web and mobile applications using OAuth, OpenID, and SAML.
