Do you think Identity is just for security experts?

Can developers go beyond Authentication?

Are you ‘Team Libraries’ or Team ‘Protocols’?

To find out, join the “Identity for all” hackathon, a codefest targeted for the developer in you.  Submissions start May 24 and go on until June 30. Your mission would be to build your next innovation using the Microsoft identity platform. Leverage one or many Identity feature areas like Managed Identity, Verifiable Credentials, Zero Trust for Apps, External identities, Graph APIs, Workload identity federation, Continuous Access Evaluation, MSAL or any feature set under Authentication and Authorization in any framework, language or cloud of your choice. Feel free to use only these features or blend them with your own APIs or any other APIs. 

Build a solution with a language of your choice, a platform (Web or Mobile or Desktop or Daemon/Service) of your choice on a cloud of your choice. The event runs for more than a month with multiple cash prizes, swags & badges to be won. This is your chance to push the platform beyond its boundaries. 

Here are some examples of cool scenarios you could hack on:

- A secure collaboration platform
- An office utility (App and/or Daemon) to help employees with Hybrid Work
- Digital Twin/IoT Solution to manage Premises/Home/Hospitals
- Improvise Fintech Identity and security practices
- Create a Microservice which sorts/processes your emails
- Vaccine credentials for the world!
- Store Consent alongside PHI/PII
- Master Data Management- correlate single Identity across multiple data systems
- A multi-cloud DevOps solution using Workload identities
- Unique login experience using Azure AD B2C

We can go on and on, but you get the point. There are limitless possibilities when you combine your developer skill and the versatility of Microsoft identity platform. We’re excited to partner with you for the Hackathon and harness your valuable feedback into the platform.

Code on!
