Do you want to know how OpenID Connect works?
Exploring how OpenID Connect works in detail is the subject of this course. We take a bottom-up approach and first study all the elements (actors, endpoints, and tokens) of OpenID Connect. This puts us in an excellent position for the second step: to understand the various OpenID Connect Flows - how the actors, endpoints, and tokens are put together to transmit identity claims securely.
Do you wonder why there are several OpenID Connect Flows?
Whether we use OpenID Connect from a mobile app, a script in a browser or from a secure backend server, there is an appropriate OpenID Connect Flow with the right tradeoffs in security, functionality, and convenience for each of these scenarios. This course helps you to choose the right one.
Do you think that these OpenID Connect Flows are confusing?
You are not alone; the OpenID Connect Flows tend to get confusing. However, with this course, we make it clear and easy to understand: We visualize these flows and show how to choose the flow that is appropriate for a given scenario. A picture says more than a 1000 words - that is why we explain the OpenID Connect Flows using easy to understand sequence diagrams.
Do you want to understand how JWT works?
This course explains what a JSON Web Token (JWT) is, how it is used in OpenID Connect, how it is constructed, what data it contains, how to read it, and how to protect its contents.
Do you wonder why there are so many tokens in OpenID Connect and how to use them?
There are JWT, JWS, JWE, access tokens, refresh tokens, identity tokens, and authorization codes. This book helps you to make sense of them all. Using examples, we explore how the tokens are used, constructed, signed, and encrypted.
Why is OpenID Connect so popular?
If used in the right way, OpenID Connect is powerful, and everyone loves it:
End-users don't need to signup and remember a new password
Business owners enjoy high conversion rates
Developers don't get any grey hair over securely storing credentials.
Do you want to increase the conversion rate of your app?
Signup and login to a new app become so smooth and convenient that end-users are much more likely to try a new app. It is supported, e.g. by Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft.

You will learn the core concepts of OpenID Connect. You will get to know all 3 OpenID Connect flows that are used in cloud solutions and mobile apps.
This course explains OpenID Connect in simple terms. The three OpenID Connect flows are visualized graphically using sequence diagrams. The diagrams are then animated so you get to know the interactions step by step and see the big picture of the various OpenID Connect interactions. This high-level overview is complemented with a rich set of example requests and responses and an explanation of the technical details.
Who should take this course?
Do you believe OpenID Connect is complicated? OpenID Connect may seem complex with flows and redirects going back and forth. This course will give you clarity by introducing the seemingly complicated material by many illustrations. These illustrations clearly show all the involved interaction parties and the messages they exchange.
Do you want to learn the OpenID Connect concepts efficiently? This course uses many animated diagrams and sequence diagrams. A good diagram says more than 1000 words.
Do you want to use OpenID Connect in your mobile app? If you want to access resources that are protected by OAuth, you need to get a token first, before you can access the resource. For this, you need to understand the OAuth flows and the dependencies between the steps of the flows.

good stuff!
Good course, clear presentation, but had some repeated material and pacing was slow.
The lessons have not a good approach. The slides model for teaching is completely outdated. It's really difficult to keep attention.
information is good; but slides used in the course are not available. Slides are a part of the course and should be available for download.
Course could be updated to oauth 2.1.
E.g pkce flow is not explained in the course.
Very complete and overall a good course.
It would be an improvement if it had code samples/examples and more practical demonstrations.
A good theoretical overview, however, a few more practical examples would have been helpful.
Very informative but tend to reiterate the same flow too many times instead of adding on and the volume is sometime too soft.
Slow speed. I have to run it at 1.5 or 2.0 speed. Also lot of repetition of the content and I believe it could be completed in 3 hours maximum if speed and repeated content could be removed.
