ABSTRACT: Easy Application Security with Apache Shiro
Apache Shiro is one of the largest open-source application security frameworks available, and with the recent release of Shiro 1.2, over 10,000 new instances launch every month. Shiro supports the four cornerstones of application security: authentication, authorization, enterprise session management, and cryptography. Shiro 1.2 extends the tools, core and especially web functionality of Shiro, and adds extensive support modules.
Apache Shiro PMC Chair and Stormpath Founder/CTO, Les Hazlewood, will give a code-heavy overview of the framework, including…
– How to enable all four cornerstones for any application (standalone, mobile phone, web based, etc) – An overview of how Shiro leverages OAuth, SAML, and Tapestry – Why you might want to use Shiro instead of alternatives likeJAAS or Spring Security – An overview of Shiro’s innovative web support module and security filtering capabilities – The core architectural concepts of the framework – What’s new in Shiro 1.2
