How Google built a Consistent, Global Authorization System with Zanzibar
Google Zanzibar is the singular authorization service that powers permissions and sharing across all Google properties, including Docs, YouTube, and Cloud IAM. Creating a consistent, global-scale authorization system that can process "more than 10 million client queries per second” is not a trivial task. The talk will cover how the paper lays out an engineer-friendly blueprint for building a highly scalable distributed system with flexible consistency guarantees.
This talk will start with foundational knowledge of Relationship Based Access Control (ReBAC) and then cover the technical implementations behind Zanzibar - How Google solved for correctness, scale and speed. The presentation will cover the different APIs for interacting with the system and also a deep-dive into how the “New Enemy” problem was solved.
Build authorization at scale with SpiceDB on Amazon EKS
Building modern authorization from scratch is non-trivial and requires years of development from domain experts. Till very recently, the only developers with access to these workflows were employed by massive tech companies that could invest in building mature, but proprietary solutions. Not only were these solutions proprietary but they also own the maintenance and continuous development of the solution. That’s where SpiceDB comes in!
SpiceDB is an open-source, Google Zanzibar-inspired database system for real-time, security-critical application permissions. This webinar shows how you can deploy a SpiceDB instance on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) which is the managed Kubernetes service provided by Amazon and is the best way to run SpiceDB on AWS. The webinar covers a quick introduction to SpiceDB and then goes straight into a demo of the deployment process on EKS.
BAC to the Future: A deep-dive into different Authorization models
Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) publishes a yearly "Top 10 Security Risks for Web Apps" list. Guess what topped their list this past year?
Broken authorization.
This talk is a deep-dive into common Authorization models such as Role Based Acces Control (RBAC), Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) and Relationship Based Access Control (ReBAC). We discuss how each of these AuthZ models work, how they are implemented, and what the advantages & disadvantages of each are.
