In this episode, Dr. Daniel Fett, expert cryptographer, returns to the show to discuss the landscape of privacy-preserving measures (such as selective disclosure, zero-knowledge proofs or ZKP, etc.) that are emerging to augment existing technologies and enable new scenarios. The discussion gets very concrete when Daniel describes selective disclosure JWT, or SD-JWT, a new IETF specification he is coauthoring that offers a simple and easy-to-adopt approach to produce JWTs capable of supporting selective disclosure. Here at Identity, Unlocked, we are huge fans of this new specification, and we hope this episode will help you get started!

Daniel Fett is a security specialist at yes.com where he works on the yes® open banking ecosystem based on OAuth and OpenID Connect. Before that, he received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Stuttgart, Germany. During his research, he developed new methods to formally analyze the security of web applications and standards. He used these formal methods to find new attack vectors on OAuth, OpenID Connect, and other federated authentication/authorization systems. Daniel is a co-author of the upcoming OAuth Security Best Current Practices RFC, of OpenID Connect for Identity Assurance, and FAPI 2.0.

Privacy-preserving measures and SD-JWT with Daniel Fett

In this episode, Prateek, Paul, and Joni bring us back to a time in which single sign-on across domains on the web was a brand new problem. With the confidence (and the passion!) of the people who were there and made things happen, the guests take Vittorio and the listeners on a whirlwind tour touching on the technical and political challenges they had to overcome to bring SAML to life and make it the ubiquitous success it is today. From the basics of how the SAML protocol works to the entities and standard bodies that developed it, the discussion eventually reaches modern times and concludes on how in a world where old and new standards coexist, OpenID Connect picked up the innovation torch from SAML.
