Wiki

Compact explanations for concepts, technologies and terms that benefit from context.

The wiki is not a directory of external resources. It explains the subject and links outward to stronger material where useful.

Current topics

• Identity — identities, authentication, authorization and sessions.
• HTTP — how the web protocol works.
• Authentication
• Authorization
• Sessions
• Cookies
• Passkeys
• OAuth
• OpenID Connect
• Multi-factor authentication
• Privacy

When a topic becomes a page

Create a wiki page when the explanation itself is useful: a definition, mental model, protocol overview, comparison, or durable reference.

A course, book, website or tool does not need a wiki page just because it is important.
