What is the Secure Login in Identity Management course about?

Selecting between password-based, certificate-based, and token-based authentication based on application sensitivity and user population. Defining identity lifecycle stages (create, modify, disable, delete) and mapping them to HR and IT provisioning workflows. Implementing secure password storage using adaptive hashing algorithms like Argon2 or bcrypt with appropriate work factors. Establishing minimum entropy requirements for user-chosen passwords while balancing usability and compliance mandates. Integrating identity.

This curriculum spans the design and operational management of secure login systems across identity lifecycle, authentication protocols, and threat response, comparable to the technical depth and cross-functional coordination required in multi-phase identity governance programs within large enterprises.

Foundations of Identity and Authentication

  • Selecting between password-based, certificate-based, and token-based authentication based on application sensitivity and user population.
  • Defining identity lifecycle stages (create, modify, disable, delete) and mapping them to HR and IT provisioning workflows.
  • Implementing secure password storage using adaptive hashing algorithms like Argon2 or bcrypt with appropriate work factors.
  • Establishing minimum entropy requirements for user-chosen passwords while balancing usability and compliance mandates.
  • Integrating identity sources (e.g., HRIS, Active Directory) with authoritative data ownership rules to prevent duplication.
  • Designing fallback mechanisms for identity verification during account recovery without compromising security.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Deployment

  • Choosing between TOTP, WebAuthn, SMS, and push-based MFA based on threat model and user access context.
  • Configuring conditional access policies to enforce MFA only for high-risk logins (e.g., new device, foreign location).
  • Managing hardware token inventory and lifecycle for privileged users with offline access requirements.
  • Evaluating usability impact of MFA on helpdesk ticket volume and user productivity metrics.
  • Implementing MFA bypass procedures for emergency break-glass accounts with audit trail enforcement.
  • Integrating MFA with legacy applications lacking native support using reverse proxy or agent-based solutions.

Federated Identity and SSO Integration

  • Selecting between SAML 2.0, OIDC, and OAuth 2.1 based on application ecosystem and identity provider capabilities.
  • Negotiating attribute release policies with external partners to minimize data exposure while enabling access.
  • Configuring identity provider-initiated vs service provider-initiated SSO for different user workflows.
  • Implementing session bridging across multiple identity domains without enabling session fixation risks.
  • Managing certificate rotation for federation signing keys with zero downtime across partner systems.
  • Enforcing session timeout consistency between IdP and SP when session lifetimes differ.
