SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates secure authentication and authorization for applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Design authentication strategies (session-based, token-based, OAuth2/OpenID Connect) and manage token lifecycles.
  • Define authorization models (RBAC/ABAC) and policy enforcement points, with support for permissions and ownership.
  • Plan secrets management, rotation, auditing, and secure storage, plus threat modeling considerations.
  • Integrate social login and SSO where applicable and outline patterns for session management and security hardening.

Quick Start

Define users, tenants, flows, and threat models, then choose an authentication strategy (session, JWT, or OIDC) and implement the corresponding pattern.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement secure authentication and authorization for a REST API?

To implement secure authentication and authorization, choose an authentication strategy like JWT or OAuth2, define RBAC models, and establish policy enforcement points to validate access for your REST API.

What's the best way to manage token lifecycles and secrets in multi-tenant systems?

Manage token lifecycles and secrets in multi-tenant systems by planning secure storage, rotation, and auditing, while applying isolated authorization models and policy enforcement for each tenant.

How does OAuth2 and OpenID Connect integrate with enterprise SSO?

OAuth2 and OpenID Connect integrate with enterprise SSO by defining federated login workflows, handling token exchanges, and mapping external identity claims to internal RBAC or ABAC policies.

When should I use RBAC versus ABAC for policy enforcement?

Choose RBAC for policy enforcement when access relies on static user roles, and switch to ABAC when you need dynamic, attribute-based permissions evaluating resource ownership and contextual properties.

Does this approach support session-based authentication for GraphQL APIs?

Yes, this approach supports session-based authentication for GraphQL APIs by implementing secure session management patterns, hardening endpoints, and enforcing authorization policies before query execution.

Why do I need threat modeling when building authentication workflows?

Threat modeling is essential for authentication workflows to identify potential vulnerabilities, anticipate token interception, and implement countermeasures alongside secrets rotation and auditing controls.
