This project aims to design a cloud-native IAM system tailored for microservices architectures. The system manages authentication and authorization across distributed services while maintaining scalability, resilience, and secure communication in dynamic cloud environments.
Study microservices architecture and distributed authentication challenges.
Analyze identity propagation across service-to-service communication.
Design centralized identity service for microservices ecosystem.
Implement token-based authentication between services.
Enforce fine-grained authorization at service endpoints.
Secure API gateways for identity validation.
Monitor and log identity flows across services.
Test scalability under multiple concurrent service requests.
Evaluate resilience against token misuse and service impersonation.
Measure performance overhead introduced by security mechanisms.
Document deployment and orchestration considerations.
