In this discussion with Tremolo Security CTO Marc Boorshtein, we explore what modern day Single Sign-On (SSO) looks like. Everyone likes to talk about zero trust, but how does that work? We talk about some of the history of authentication that got us here, and some technical details on how you should be implementing authentication into your application. We finish up with some passkey details and realize every authentication discussion really just turns into complaining how hard identity is.

The Future of Open Source Security
It’s a new year and time for some changes to the opensourcesecurity.io website. It's time to retire the podcast, but that's to make way for something new and hopefully better. You can read the details in the blog post (the audio version is basically the same thing) https://opensourcesecurity.io/posts/2025-01-the_future_of_open_source_security/
Open Source Security is a media project to help showcase and educate on open source security. Our goal is to give the community a platform educate both developers and users on how open source security works.
There’s a lot of good work happening that doesn’t get attention because there’s no marketing department behind it, they don’t have a developer relations team posting on LinkedIn every two hours. Let’s focus on those people and teams then learn what they do and how they do it. The goal is to hear from the people doing the work, they know what’s up, they have a lot to teach us. We just have to listen.
