That rude and harsh world outside our development shops can be chartered with the right gear for every situation. No application can stand alone and must work together with other applications in a team of trust to fulfill the task in the best and securest way and build reputation for further tasks. A common understanding of trust and security helps to accomplish these tasks. Since understanding depends on the capabilities of the partners a well equipped web of trust can use many different tools to fulfill the task. This presentation will give an overview of the currently available security standards and options to implement the right combination of security for the challenges of your application.
Spring Security
Published August 13th, 2009 Under Coding, Open Source Tools | 2 Comments
Spring Security is a popular, open-source Java security framework that represents the Spring portfolio’s official security capability. It has received hundreds of thousands of downloads, been ported to other platforms (such as Python and Microsoft .NET) and represents a popular choice in many banking, government, and military installations. This session presents practical solutions for addressing today’s complex enterprise application security requirements using Spring Security. It takes attendees on a step-by-step journey that begins with the simple security requirement of a login form, and grows to include more advanced requirements such as web request authorization, single sign on and federated identity (OpenID), advanced method authorization, plus rich client security considerations. Ben’s security sessions are always intensely demonstration-oriented, and this session promises at least five separate live demonstrations and code discussions. As such, you will not only discover the important architectural concepts and standards applicable to enterprise application security, but you’ll also receive plenty of practical tips and solid advice on using this powerful and flexible security framework.
