Apache Shiro is a flexible open-source application security framework that supports the four cornerstones of application security: authentication, authorization, enterprise session management, and cryptography.

Led by Les Hazlewood, Apache Shiro PMC Chair, join us to learn:

  • Why you might want to use Shiro instead of alternatives like JAAS or Spring Security
  • The core architectural concepts of the framework
  • How to enable all four cornerstones for any application (standalone, mobile phone, web based, etc)
  • An overview of Shiro’s innovative web support module and security filtering capabilities
