Elevator pitch

In this session I am going to cover a new open source project called Cedar that helps you decouple your authorisation logic from your application code. This is a hands on, code session, and will help you see how you can build next generation authorization into your applications.

Abstract

Authorization is one of the foundational needs when building your applications and services. Making sure you are able to correctly and reliably grant or deny access to your application resources is critical. Yet this is still one of the hardest things we have to do as developers.

Cedar is a new and very interesting open source project, developed with automated reasoning and differential testing - which I will briefly discuss, as it is important to understand this in the context of trust.
