Speaking at the Øredev conference

I had the pleasure of speaking at the Øredev Conference in Malmö this November 2024, presenting my talk Demystifying Authentication in ASP.NET Core.

Øredev is known for bringing together tech enthusiasts, developers, and industry leaders to explore current trends and share practical knowledge, so it was an honor to be part of this great event.

What Was the Talk About?

Authentication in ASP.NET Core 8 can be daunting with its many interconnected components. My session aimed to break down these complexities and offer a clearer understanding of how things work under the hood.

Here’s a quick look at what we covered:

• Authentication Schemas and Handlers:
  The role these play in delegating and managing different types of authentications in your applications.
• ClaimsPrincipal and Claims:
  How ASP.NET Core uses these to securely represent users and their associated data.
• Authentication Challenges:
  When and why challenges are issued during the authentication process.
• Session Cookies:
  Managing user sessions and maintaining state across requests.
  
  

The session was designed to be practical and detailed, helping attendees grasp how to approach authentication in real-world projects and better troubleshoot issues that may arise.
