PEP and PDP for Secure Authorization with Cognito
Authorization is a critical part of securing cloud applications, and understanding the best practices for implementing it can make all the difference. In this post, we dig deep on the concepts of Policy Decision Points (PDPs) and Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs), and how they work together to manage user access efficiently. We dive into a serverless solution using AWS Lambda and API Gateway, implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for fine-grained access control based on Cognito User Groups. This solution ensures scalability, low latency, and efficient authorization in serverless environments.
