Portable Sessions with JSON Web Tokens

Talkat RailsConf 2017 · 2017-04-25..04-27· [security, web-platform]
slides:none on file

Shows JWTs replacing cookies and opaque API tokens by sending one token, two headers so a single signed payload carries the user id, expiry and metadata and the server verifies a signature instead of querying the DB on every request. Demonstrates RSA public keys and JSON Web Keys to avoid secret sharing, uses a scope claim plus an optimistic lock for password‑reset and email login, recommends short lived access tokens with refresh tokens, key ids and epoched rotation, and a blacklist for immediate revocation.
