  • Introduces OpenID AuthZEN specification for decoupling authorization logic from application code
  • Provides an open-source reference implementation for integrating AuthZEN with Verified Permissions
  • Demonstrates an architecture using AWS services like API Gateway, Lambda, and Secrets Manager
  • Uses Cedar policy language for mathematically provable access control
