Is My Application’s Authentication and Authorization Secure and Scalable?

Nowadays, most application requires authentication and authorization due to increased threat levels, and not only do they need to be secured, but also scalable due to increased traffic volume. It’s not that the application doesn’t have authentication and authorization in place, but the point is, does it provide security, scalability, and more features around this area? Authentication and authorization are a domain in themselves, and most developers/architects start by using a homegrown mechanism, which is not only less secure most of the time because of a lack of domain expertise, but also lots of time spent in non-core activity, and because of that, the product road-map gets a hit, and value addition in the product becomes slow.  

This blog will talk in detail about the common mistakes made in this area and how we can avoid or overcome them if we are already stuck.
