Modern web applications require robust security controls to protect user data and application resources. Authentication and authorization are two fundamental pillars of application security that answer critical questions: Who are you? and What are you allowed to do? Implementing these controls correctly can be challenging for developers, especially when building data-intensive applications with frameworks like Streamlit (an open-source Python framework for building interactive web applications) or when requiring fine-grained access control. Key challenges include protecting access to application resources, implementing application identity with multi-factor authentication (MFA), and implementing usage-based controls. In this post, you will learn how to build fine-grained access controls for a sample Streamlit application using Amazon Cognito for authentication and Amazon Verified Permissions with Cedar policies for authorization. This architecture provides enterprise-grade security with minimal development effort, so you can focus on your application’s core functionality. You will learn how to reduce development time for secure applications, implement enterprise-grade authentication, through proper access management, and scale security with growing user bases. Security architecture overview The reference architecture follows a layered security design with four key components; separating identity verification, authorization evaluation, application logic, and enforcement boundaries. By assigning clear responsibilities to each layer, the architecture limits blast radius …
