SPEAKER: Welcome to Developing Applications with Google Cloud-- Foundations, Module 4-- Handling authentication and authorization. It can be daunting to implement user authentication and authorization from the beginning in your application. Writing your own code to secure user data leaves you vulnerable to attacks. With Identity and Access Management, or IAM, and Identity Platform Authentication, you have a simple and secure solution for authenticating and authorizing your application users. In this module, you'll learn about IAM principles and how to specify the resources they can access and the operations they can perform on these resources. You'll learn how to use service accounts and other methods to authenticate and authorize applications to invoke Google Cloud APIs and when to use each method. We discuss how you can use Identity Aware Proxy to control access to your application. The Firebase SDK makes it really easy to implement federated identity management. You'll learn how to use the Firebase SDK to validate users against credentials stored in an identity platform, Google Cloud's enterprise-grade access management and identity platform. Finally, you'll learn about Secret Manager and how it can be used to securely store credentials that are required by your application.2. Let's practice!
