This is where artifact binding can greatly increase the security….

Browser sends artifact to RP, RP fetches assertion from IdP via HTTPs, afterwards verifies the signature.

Signature verification is not implemented correctly? The attacker still needs to break HTTPS…. And then you would have a big problem anyway.

OIDC is newer and many of the issues with SAML were addressed in the architecture. However I’m curious to hear which attack vectors you are thinking about.

OIDC is better when using the authorization code flow because it does not only rely on cryptography while validating the token. The relying party needs to talk to the IdP. This is better from a security perspective, because past vulnerabilities have shown, that implementing the cryptography right in every relying party is challenging. You can achieve similar security with SAML when using the artifact binding. Note: I work professionally with Keycloak and also offer reviews of OIDC and SAML implementations.

Interesting read. I have just setup a very similar cluster this week: 3 node bare metal cluster in a 10G mesh network. Decided for Debian, RKE2, Calico and Longhorn. Encryption is done using LUKS FDE. For Load Balancing I am using the HCloud Load Balancer (in TCP mode). At first I had some problems with the mesh network as the CNI would only bind to a single interface. Finally solved it using a bridge, veth and isolated ports.

Software development is easy, maintenance is challenging. When your system integrates with other systems and you want to make changes, it's critical to understand the details. I doubt people without IT background should be in charge of such processes.

Isn't that what conferences and journals are for? Reviewing and selecting the most important papers?

When something is really solved (a solution exists without negative side-effects; and this fact has been verified several times), they should indeed look for new problems.

I don't know exactly. There has to be enough liquidity in Bitcoin locally to find enough persons to trade with. Starting a new cryptocurrency in such a situation will be difficult because of deflation. Deflation is extremely dangerous for the economy.

The rising of Bitcoin can be a threat to working democracies - at least if it is used as a currency. Monetary politics are important for our society to function properly. On the other hand: For broken countries, it can help the people as a temporary replacement.

How does Ory compare to alternatives like e.g. Keycloak and Authelia?

From experience, can anyone make a recommendation for a system that can be rolled out to an organization with confidence (long-term support, security, performance)?

"With Starlink revenue, SpaceX will be able to do the work on life support systems and mission planning to enable a human mission by 2029. NASA could be involved as a partner, but SpaceX would tolerate zero government obstacles."

I still hope such a big step will be driven by democracy.

Could it be that just both, vitamin D deficiency and covid-19 risk, are much higher for people that stay inside most of the day (e.g. have office jobs)? Vitamin D is created from sunlight. Covid-19 is transmitted by aerosols. Is there additional evidence that Vitamin D supplements may help or do we just know about the correlation?

Production wise, an economy that is not concerned with democratic institutions or reducing inequality will outperform one that is.

The question is: How can the market be adapted to create a fair, innovative and sustainable society, globally?

How can a single government force any rules with these goals without lowering the welfare of its inhabitants and thus threaten its reelection?
