Sessions at Software Architect 2011 about Patterns on Wednesday 19th October

The service pattern is pervasive – either operation centric (aka SOAP) or resource centric (aka REST). The security challenges are the same in both worlds – authentication, authorisation and secure communication. Common scenarios are direct authentication (like passwords or client certificates) as well as brokered authentication where the identity provider is external (at least to the application). This talk walks through those common scenarios and shows the architectural and technical approaches to design and implement those services in a secure fashion.

In this session we’ll look at a number of common mispractices and misconceptions that the speaker has seen in his 20 years of experience using design patterns. Together, we’ll examine them and look at fixes for them, so that, by the end of the session, you will no longer suck at design patterns. :-)
