Episode 45: Intro to the Cedarling

Cedar is a policy syntax invented by Amazon. It's used by the AWS Verified Permissions, Authz-as-a-Service offering. Gluu is working on a new product at the Janssen Project called the "Cedarling"--which leverages the Cedar policy syntax and Amazon's open source Cedar Rust engine. The Cedarling can run anywhere--as a local agent in the browser, embedded in a mobile application, or as a cloud service. It needs no data, because it trusts the JWT tokens that are input to the request by the application. Beyond policy evaluation, the Cedarlng agent has two other capabilities: JWT validation and audit logging. In this episode, Mike will present Gluu's current progress on the Cedarling and show a demo of the Cedarling in action!
