Summary

In this chapter, we had the opportunity to complement the theoretical explanations shared in previous chapters with practical examples of challenges, especially in the application design area, which is the critical area where new business is generated by companies.

In this book, we covered many areas related to identity management and we have done so on different levels: we moved through high-level views of how a company should have a common strategy for critical topics such as identity, and we had the opportunity to share the implications of ignoring how to set up an identity strategy correctly. We then touched on more pragmatic topics, such as the implications of an identity strategy in the application designed, and we even provided low-level information about the most common protocols used today and the possible application and flows of each protocol, as well as examples and patterns to adopt when it is time to design an application.
