  • AES is only as good as the KDF protecting the key. Looking at the github mirror of its code (updated march 2019), it seems to be using PBKDF2-SHA1 with 1,000 iterations. That's actually really bad because SHA1 is weak, and 1,000 iterations is very low.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
