Authentication and Authorization Strategies for Event Meshes

Authentication and authorization are important factors in the security considerations of an event mesh, but also impact maintainability, ease of use and developer experience. There are pros and cons for the different ways of authentication (i.e. certificates, OAuth 2, Basic, LDAP) and how to use/map them for authorization. In this talk, Hebach will introduce the most important strategies and technologies for authentication and authorization between components of event meshes. He will discuss them from the perspectives of architects, administrators and developers, and scenarios in which one or the other make more sense.
