Speaking at the Øredev conference

In November 2024 I spoke at the Øredev Conference in Malmö, with my talk Demystifying Authentication in ASP.NET Core.

Øredev brings together developers and others in tech to share practical knowledge and look at current trends, so I was glad to be part of it.

What Was the Talk About?

Authentication in ASP.NET Core 8 can feel overwhelming, with many components that depend on each other. My session broke it down and showed how things work under the hood.

Here’s what we covered:

• Authentication Schemes and Handlers:
  The role they play in handling different types of authentication in your applications.
• ClaimsPrincipal and Claims:
  How ASP.NET Core uses them to represent users and their data.
• Authentication Challenges:
  When and why challenges are issued during authentication.
• Session Cookies:
  Managing user sessions and keeping state across requests.

The session was practical and detailed, to help attendees handle authentication in real projects and troubleshoot the problems that come up.
