Authenticity, accountability, and excellent customer experience are the building blocks that sustain customer loyalty in the long run. Businesses need to be vocal about how responsible they are when it comes to consumer data privacy and security.

\n

Needless-to-say, brands that put consumers in charge of how their data is collected and used can reduce customer churn by a considerable margin.

\n

Following the popularity of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that went live in May 2018, other countries worldwide have been catching up and taking action.

\n

2020 started in the right direction with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This year we should expect even more stringent legislation concerning data protection rights for consumers.

\n

Next in line is the privacy law of Maine, which is scheduled to come into force in July 2020. The legislation would mandate broadband internet service providers (ISPs) to receive explicit, affirmative consent from a customer before accessing their personal data, including their browsing history.

\n

A question arises.

\n

What Does the Latest Data Privacy Inclusions Say About Consumers

\n

There is a common belief among consumers that today's data protection is more complicated than it was in the past. Here are a few statistics that highlight the statement.

\n\n

Biggest Data Privacy Pain Points of Consumers

\n

This goes without saying that consumer data privacy is broadly transforming businesses today, and it is the responsibility of companies to manage the information they collect. Consumers are becoming more and more conscious about what kinds of data they share — and with whom.

\n

Stakes are high for companies that handle data. Even consumers who aren't directly affected pay attention to the way such companies respond to the data breach. They are majorly concerned about the following pain points.

\n

Misuse of sensitive data

\n

Data breaches have a greater reputational and financial consequence when sensitive personal data is involved. This contains information relating to political opinion, ethnic or racial origin, religious beliefs, genetic data, and biometric data.

\n

Misuse of sensitive data can cause far more harm than the names, addresses, and financial information.

\n

Trading of personal data

\n

The controversial corner of the web, called the \"dark web,\" is widely known for trading stolen data, which can only be accessed via specific browsers. Hackers may be searching simply for a way into the networks of customers. 

\n

They can attack computers/phones by imitating popular brands and stealing personal information without people even realizing it!

\n

Data breach due to human error

\n

There is a well-documented history of human error, causing data breaches. Sadly, it is often people who allow access to encrypted channels and sensitive information for attackers. An attacker can undoubtedly take advantage of zero-day vulnerabilities to break into a network, but in most cases, their performance requires capitalizing human error.

\n

According to Verizon's 2019 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), 21% of breaches were a result of casual events like misdelivery, loss, and other kinds of human-initiated errors.

\n

Impact of Consumer Data Privacy on Businesses

\n

Today, consumers are more mindful of the effect data privacy has on their personal lives than ever before. But how do companies respond to this change in consumer thinking — and more relevantly, how does it impact the way they do business?

\n

New consumer data privacy regulations have been affecting every aspect of a business. Organizations must manage consumer interactions with privacy demands, develop new organizational positions to manage regulatory interactions, and educate employees on the current regulations.

\n

\"WP-CCPA-consumer-identity\"

\n

In general, consumer data privacy laws have three different impacts on every organization.

\n\n

The laws regulating data privacy are in the preliminary stages, with more revisions and iterations to come. The new compliance requirements offer organizations the opportunity to evaluate other data opportunities and build more robust data management strategies.

\n

Impact of Data Privacy on Consumers

\n

Consumers are starting to realize that data is the currency that allows free or near-free services, and they are carefully thinking about the drawbacks of sharing personal data.

\n

Data regulations like GDPR and CCPA surfaced and were enacted because companies were not as cautious as they needed to be when it came to consumer data security. 

\n

Here's how data regulations are leveling-up their customer experience game:

\n\n

Consumers have the authority to set a brand apart from its competitors. So, when they see that efforts are made to keep their personal information safe and secure, they appreciate it.

Proactive Steps for Companies to Prevent Privacy Hack

\n

Cyber-attacks have become a harsh reality for virtually every consumer and organization today. It doesn't matter anymore who the victim is, or what is the size of the organization that has fallen prey, the looming threat metrics about hackers' intention to steal data is real.

\n

What actions can companies take to prevent hackers and protect consumer assets?

\n

Take data mapping seriously

\n

Companies need to know what customer data they need to get the job done. Because it so happens that companies do not use the data they collect from customers - not for analytics or even to address any future need. 

\n

It is only reasonable for companies not to collect any unnecessary data. No wonder, a lot of companies are considering re-writing their security policies. 

\n

Timely risk assessment

\n

Stay up-to-date on new risks and vulnerabilities in the data storage environment. Carry out regular assessments of all the significant aspects of the workplace environment - from remote access for employees to data storage to security policies. Make sure all procedures are adequate and current. 

\n

Periodic data security training

\n

Train your team according to industry-approved security practices. Make them understand how crucial is consumer data privacy and security to your business and what necessary steps can prevent breaches. Conduct periodical awareness training for the entire organization instead of confining to a particular group. 

\n

Invest in data compliance

\n

As we move into the fourth industrial age, investing in consumer data privacy and compliance has become a top business priority. It is high time, organizations understand the value of data itself. This is where regulations like the GDPR and CCPA comes into play. 

\n

Optimal infrastructure

\n

Organizations are working to build technology environments that can easily handle the growing amounts of data collected and engage in technical developments. A good practice is to store data based on the data type or classification. Reduced system footprints decrease the risk of breaches.

\n

How LoginRadius Keeps Your Customer Data Private and Secure

\n

\"How

\n

One crucial aspect of an organization is the protection of the confidentiality and integrity of consumer data. LoginRadius provides layered security by limiting and monitoring access to consumer's data. The platform offers seamless security with features like data management and real-time fraud analysis to improve customer experience and detect fraud attempts at the entrance.

In this blog, we’ll be implementing authentication via Twitter in a Golang web application. For this, we’ll be using Goth, a social authentication middleware for Golang.

\n

Pre-requisites:

\n\n

Firstly, We need to create a new Twitter App using its Application Management. Twitter does not seem to work nicely with it if \"localhost\" is given in the callback URL field. To overcome this limitation, you could use the special loopback address or \"127.0.0.1\" in place of \"localhost\".

\n

Step 1. First, create a directory structure as below for your Go Application :

\n
TwitterAuthenticationGoth\n-templates\n--index.html\n--success.html\n-main.go
\n

Step 2. Add the following code in index.html for creating LoginUI:

\n
<!doctype html>\n<html>\n<head>\n    <title>Twitter SignIn</title>\n    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <!-- load bulma css -->\n    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"> <!-- load fontawesome -->\n    <style>\n        body        { padding-top:70px; }\n    </style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class="container">\n    <div class="jumbotron text-center text-success">\n        <h1><span class="fa fa-lock"></span> Social Authentication</h1>\n        <p>Login or Register with:</p>\n        <a href="/auth/twitter" class="btn btn-danger"><span class="fa fa-twitter"></span> SignIn with Twitter</a>\n    </div>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>
\n

Step 3 Add the following code in success.html for creating ProfileUI:

\n
<!doctype html>\n<html>\n  <head>\n    <title>Twitter SignIn</title>\n    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <!-- load bulma css -->\n    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"> <!-- load fontawesome -->\n      <style>\n          body        { padding-top:70px; }\n      </style>\n  </head>\n  <body>\n    <div class="container">\n      <div class="jumbotron">\n          <h1 class="text-success  text-center"><span class="fa fa-user"></span> Profile Information</h1>\n          <div class="row">\n            <div class="col-sm-6">\n                <div class="well">\n                        <p>\n                            <strong>Id</strong>: {{.UserID}}<br>\n                            <strong>Email</strong>: {{.Email}}<br>\n                            <strong>Name</strong>: {{.Name}}\n                        </p>\n                </div>\n            </div>\n        </div>\n      </div>\n    </div>\n  </body>\n</html>
\n

Step 4. Add the following code in main.go for importing Goth and other packages :

\n
import (\n    "fmt"\n    "html/template"\n    "log"\n    "net/http"\n    "sort"\n\n    "github.com/gorilla/pat"\n    "github.com/markbates/goth"\n    "github.com/markbates/goth/gothic"\n    "github.com/markbates/goth/providers/twitter"\n)
\n

Now we are ready to implement Twitter Authentication in our app

\n

Step 5. Setup the twitter configuration by adding the following code in main.go :

\n
goth.UseProviders(\n        twitter.New("TWITTER_KEY", "TWITTER_SECRET", "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/twitter/callback"),\n\n    )
\n

Step 6. For adding all routes and functionality you just need to add following code in main.go :

\n
 type ProviderIndex struct {\n     Providers[] string\n     ProvidersMap map[string] string\n }\n\n func main() {\n     goth.UseProviders(\n         twitter.New("TWITTER_KEY", "TWITTER_SECRET", "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/twitter/callback"),\n         // If you'd like to use authenticate instead of authorize in Twitter provider, use this instead.\n         // twitter.NewAuthenticate(os.Getenv("TWITTER_KEY"), os.Getenv("TWITTER_SECRET"), "http://localhost:3000/auth/twitter/callback"),\n     )\n\n     m: = make(map[string] string)\n     m["twitter"] = "Twitter"\n\n     var keys[] string\n     for k: = range m {\n         keys = append(keys, k)\n     }\n     sort.Strings(keys)\n\n     providerIndex: = & ProviderIndex {\n         Providers: keys,\n         ProvidersMap: m\n     }\n\n     p: = pat.New()\n     p.Get("/auth/{provider}/callback", func(res http.ResponseWriter, req * http.Request) {\n\n         user, err: = gothic.CompleteUserAuth(res, req)\n         if err != nil {\n             fmt.Fprintln(res, err)\n             return\n         }\n         t, _: = template.ParseFiles("templates/success.html")\n         t.Execute(res, user)\n     })\n\n     p.Get("/logout/{provider}", func(res http.ResponseWriter, req * http.Request) {\n         gothic.Logout(res, req)\n         res.Header().Set("Location", "/")\n         res.WriteHeader(http.StatusTemporaryRedirect)\n     })\n\n     p.Get("/auth/{provider}", func(res http.ResponseWriter, req * http.Request) {\n         // try to get the user without re-authenticating\n         if gothUser, err: = gothic.CompleteUserAuth(res, req);\n         err == nil {\n             t, _: = template.ParseFiles("templates/success.html")\n             t.Execute(res, gothUser)\n         } else {\n             gothic.BeginAuthHandler(res, req)\n         }\n     })\n\n     p.Get("/", func(res http.ResponseWriter, req * http.Request) {\n         t, _: = template.ParseFiles("templates/index.html")\n         t.Execute(res, providerIndex)\n     })\n     log.Println("listening on localhost:3000")\n     log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":3000", p))\n }
\n

Now you just need to run the project by using the following command and try logging by using the Twitter button.

\n

Step 7. Run the project :

\n
 go run main.go
\n

Step 8. Visit the browser with the URL http://127.0.0.1:3000.

\n

\"Login\"

\n

We need to click on Authorize button, which will redirect us to google login page

\n

\"Auth\"

\n

After login with our twitter credentials, it will redirect back to our application and on the success page, we can see the details of the logged-in user and can save this detail in the database for future use also.

\n

\"Profile\"

\n

As we have seen it is fairly easy to build a twitter social authentication system with Go and Goth, You can found the complete code used in this tutorial on our Github Repo

\n

Before You Get Started

\n

This tutorial assumes you have:

\n\n

Step 1: Create a Google client ID and client secret

\n

We can create a client ID and client secret using its Google API Console. You need to follow below steps once you open Google API Console

\n\n

Note: If Google doesn't support http://localhost:3000, then use http://127.0.0.1:3000

\n

Step 2: Initialize a Go project using Go modules

\n

First in an empty folder run the below command

\n
go mod init googleauth
\n

go mod init creates a new go.mod file and automatically imports dependencies when you will run go program

\n

Step 3: Writing golang server code to accept web requests

\n

Create a file main.go in the root folder of your app and add the following code:

\n

A small description for packages used in below code

\n\n
package main\n\nimport (\n  "fmt"\n  "html/template"\n  "net/http"\n  \n\n  "log"\n\n  "github.com/gorilla/pat"\n  "github.com/markbates/goth"\n  "github.com/markbates/goth/gothic"\n  "github.com/markbates/goth/providers/google"\n  "github.com/gorilla/sessions"\n)\n\n\nfunc main() {\n  \n  key := "Secret-session-key"  // Replace with your SESSION_SECRET or similar\n  maxAge := 86400 * 30  // 30 days\n  isProd := false       // Set to true when serving over https\n\n  store := sessions.NewCookieStore([]byte(key))\n  store.MaxAge(maxAge)\n  store.Options.Path = "/"\n  store.Options.HttpOnly = true   // HttpOnly should always be enabled\n  store.Options.Secure = isProd\n\n  gothic.Store = store\n\n  goth.UseProviders(\n    google.New("our-google-client-id", "our-google-client-secret", "http://localhost:3000/auth/google/callback", "email", "profile"),\n  )\n\n  p := pat.New()\n  p.Get("/auth/{provider}/callback", func(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {\n\n    user, err := gothic.CompleteUserAuth(res, req)\n    if err != nil {\n      fmt.Fprintln(res, err)\n      return\n    }\n    t, _ := template.ParseFiles("templates/success.html")\n    t.Execute(res, user)\n  })\n\n  p.Get("/auth/{provider}", func(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {\n    gothic.BeginAuthHandler(res, req)\n  })\n\n  p.Get("/", func(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {\n    t, _ := template.ParseFiles("templates/index.html")\n    t.Execute(res, false)\n  })\n  log.Println("listening on localhost:3000")\n  log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":3000", p))\n}
\n

Note: The callback URL in google.New should be the same as used in the google app configuration.

\n

If it is hard to understand the code, Here is the description of all the routes used in the code mentioned above

\n\n

Step 4: Creating a Login and Profile page

\n

Create an html file under path templates/index.html, it will render into a nice looking social login page:

\n
<!-- templates/index.html -->\n<!doctype html>\n<html>\n<head>\n    <title>Google SignIn</title>\n    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <!-- load bulma css -->\n    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"> <!-- load fontawesome -->\n    <style>\n        body        { padding-top:70px; }\n    </style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class="container">\n    <div class="jumbotron text-center text-success">\n        <h1><span class="fa fa-lock"></span> Social Authentication</h1>\n        <p>Login or Register with:</p>\n        <a href="/auth/google" class="btn btn-danger"><span class="fa fa-google"></span> SignIn with Google</a>\n    </div>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>
\n

After it we will create an Html file under path templates/success.html, it will be used to show the user profile information we will get after authenticated by google

\n
<!-- templates/success.html -->\n<!doctype html>\n<html>\n  <head>\n    <title>Google SignIn</title>\n    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <!-- load bulma css -->\n    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"> <!-- load fontawesome -->\n      <style>\n          body        { padding-top:70px; }\n      </style>\n  </head>\n  <body>\n    <div class="container">\n      <div class="jumbotron">\n          <h1 class="text-success  text-center"><span class="fa fa-user"></span> Profile Information</h1>\n          <div class="row">\n            <div class="col-sm-6">\n                <div class="well">\n                        <p>\n                            <strong>Id</strong>: {{.UserID}}<br>\n                            <strong>Email</strong>: {{.Email}}<br>\n                            <strong>Name</strong>: {{.Name}}\n                        </p>\n                </div>\n            </div>\n        </div>\n      </div>\n    </div>\n  </body>\n</html>
\n

Note: Here we are also using bootstrap and font-awesome css to make our web pages look good.

\n

We have finished building our social login page, let's run the application by below command

\n
go run main.go
\n

Once our server is running, we can see our social login page on http://localhost:3000/

\n

\"Social

\n

We need to click on SignIn with Google button, which will redirect us to the google login page.

\n

\"Google

Introduction

\n

As enterprises advance towards digital maturity in the times of robust cloud-based systems and stringent online security, authentication and authorization are used in conjunction (also, often interchangeably) with each other.

\n

Though both the terms sound similar, they refer to entirely different security processes. Within the scope of customer identity and access management (CIAM), authentication verifies a user's identity, while authorization validates if the user has access to perform a specific function.

\n

In other words, authentication is identifying users by confirming who they say they are, while authorization is the process of establishing the rights and privileges of a user.

\n

Both processes play equally important roles in securing sensitive data assets from breaches and unauthorized access.

\n

Here, we'll cover how they're defined and what distinguishes one from the other.

\n

What is Authentication?

\n

Authentication is the process of identifying users and validating who they claim to be. One of the most common and obvious factors to authenticate identity is a password. If the user name matches the password credential, it means the identity is valid, and the system grants access to the user.

\n

Interestingly, with enterprises going passwordless, many use modern authentication techniques like one-time passcodes (OTP) via SMS, or email, single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA) and biometrics, etc. to authenticate users and deploy security beyond what passwords usually provide.

\n

Types of Authentication

\n

Authentication is a crucial process that verifies the identity of users accessing a system, website, or application. There are several types of authentication methods employed in today's digital landscape to ensure secure access to sensitive data. The most common ones include:

\n

Password-based Authentication

\n

This traditional method requires users to provide a unique combination of characters known only to them. While passwords are simple to implement, they are susceptible to security breaches if not managed properly.

\n

Multi-Factor Authentication

\n

MFA enhances security by combining two or more authentication factors, such as passwords, biometrics (fingerprint or facial recognition), or one-time codes sent to a user's registered device. This layered approach significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

\n

Two-Factor Authentication

\n

2FA is a subset of MFA that employs two different authentication factors to verify user identity. Typically, this includes a password and a one-time code generated by a mobile app or sent via SMS.

\n

Biometric Authentication

\n

This cutting-edge method uses unique biological traits like fingerprints, iris scans, or facial features to validate a user's identity. Biometrics offer a high level of security and convenience, but they may raise privacy concerns.

\n

Token-based Authentication

\n

Token-based systems use physical or virtual tokens to grant access. These tokens can be hardware devices or software applications that generate temporary codes for authentication.

\n

Advantages of Authentication

\n

Effective authentication protocols offer numerous benefits to individuals, organizations, and online platforms, ensuring a secure and seamless user experience.

\n

Enhanced Security

\n

Authentication prevents unauthorized access and protects sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands, reducing the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks.

\n

User Trust and Confidence

\n

Implementing robust authentication measures instills confidence in users, assuring them that their personal information is safe, thereby fostering trust in the platform or service.

\n

Regulatory Compliance

\n

In many industries, adhering to specific data protection regulations and standards is mandatory. Proper authentication procedures aid in meeting compliance requirements.

\n

Reduced Fraud and Identity Theft

\n

By requiring users to verify their identity through authentication, the likelihood of fraudulent activities and identity theft is significantly minimized.

\n

Customizable Access Control

\n

Different authentication methods can be tailored to suit specific security needs, allowing organizations to grant appropriate levels of access to different user groups.

\n

What is Authorization?

\n

Authorization happens after a user’s identity has been successfully authenticated. It is about offering full or partial access rights to resources like database, funds, and other critical information to get the job done.

\n

In an organization, for example, after an employee is verified and confirmed via ID and password authentication, the next step would be defining what resources the employee would have access to.

\n

Types of Authorization

\n

Authorization is a crucial aspect of identity and access management, ensuring that individuals or entities are granted appropriate access to resources and actions within a system. There are several types of authorization mechanisms that organizations implement to control access and protect sensitive information.

\n

Role-Based Authorization

\n

In this approach, access rights are assigned based on predefined roles or job functions within the organization. Users are grouped into specific roles, and each role is granted a set of permissions that align with the responsibilities of that role. This simplifies access management and reduces administrative overhead, especially in large enterprises.

\n

Attribute-Based Authorization

\n

This type of authorization evaluates access requests based on specific attributes of the user, such as their department, location, or clearance level. Access is granted or denied depending on whether the user's attributes match the defined criteria for accessing certain resources or performing particular actions.

\n

Rule-Based Authorization

\n

Rule-based authorization enforces access control based on predefined rules and conditions. These rules specify the circumstances under which access should be granted or denied. Organizations can define complex access policies using rule-based authorization to cater to unique business requirements.

\n

Mandatory Access Control (MAC)

\n

MAC is a high-security authorization model commonly used in government and military settings. It operates on the principle of strict access controls determined by the system administrator. Access rights are assigned based on labels and categories, ensuring that users can only access information at or below their clearance level.

\n

Discretionary Access Control (DAC)

\n

In contrast to MAC, DAC allows users to control access to the resources they own. Each resource has an owner who can determine who else can access it and what level of access they have. DAC is commonly used in less secure environments where users have more control over their data.

\n

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

\n

RBAC is a variation of role-based authorization that focuses on managing user access based on roles and their associated permissions. It simplifies access control by allowing administrators to grant or revoke permissions to entire groups of users through the management of roles.

\n

Advantages of Authorization

\n

Implementing robust authorization mechanisms offers various advantages that strengthen an organization's security posture and overall access management strategies.

\n

Enhanced Security

\n

Authorization ensures that only authorized users can access specific resources and perform permitted actions. By enforcing proper access controls, organizations can significantly reduce the risk of data breaches, unauthorized access, and other security incidents.

\n

Granular Access Control

\n

Authorization systems provide the flexibility to grant access on a granular level. This means administrators can define fine-grained access permissions for different users based on their roles, attributes, or other conditions. Granular access control allows for a more tailored and least privilege approach to access management.

\n

Compliance and Auditing

\n

Many industries have specific compliance requirements regarding data access and protection. Authorization mechanisms help organizations comply with these regulations by monitoring and controlling access to sensitive information. Additionally, audit logs can track user activities, providing valuable data for security investigations and compliance reporting.

\n

Reduced Human Errors

\n

Implementing a structured authorization system reduces the likelihood of human errors in access control. Automated role-based or rule-based access assignment minimizes the chances of accidental misconfigurations and unauthorized access.

\n

Scalability and Manageability

\n

As organizations grow, managing access rights can become challenging. Authorization systems, particularly role-based ones, offer scalable solutions, making it easier to add or remove users from different roles as the organization's structure evolves.

\n

User Experience

\n

A well-designed authorization system ensures that users can access the resources they need without unnecessary barriers. By providing a seamless and efficient user experience, employees can focus on their tasks without being impeded by access restrictions.

\n

Authentication vs Authorization: Understanding the Techniques

\n

When we talk about the difference between authentication and authorization, C IAM administrators should understand the core of utilizing both authentication and authorization, and how one differentiates from the other.

\n

For example, an organization will allow all its employees to access their workplace systems (that’s authentication!). But then, not everyone will have the right to access its gated data (that’s authorization!).

\n

Implementing authentication with the right authorization techniques can protect organizations, while streamlined access will enable its workforce to be more productive.

\n

Here is the common authentication vs authorization techniques used by CIAM solutions to help you better understand the difference between authentication and authorization. However note that technologies like JWT, SAML, OpenID Authorization, and OAuth are used in both authentication and authorization.

In this blog, we will see how we can read and write into a local file with the help of Deno

\n\n

Before You Get Started

\n

This tutorial assumes you have basic knowledge about Deno and you have latest Deno version installed on your system, if you haven't installed Deno on your system or never ran Deno code please look at this great introductory blog - Hello world with Deno

\n

Part 1: Read a file and print text out of it

\n

First, add a file called quotes.txt in the folder you want to run the Deno code, We will read these quotes with the help of Deno

\n
Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do. The best way to predict the future is to invent it. - Alan Kay\nPremature optimization is the root of all evil in programming. - Donald Knuth\nClarity and brevity sometimes are at odds. When they are, I choose clarity.  - Jacob Kaplan-Moss\nOptimism is an occupational hazard of programming; feedback is the treatment. - Kent Beck\nA lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.  - Steve Jobs\nNine people can't make a baby in a month. - Fred Brooks\nA clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it. - Albert Einstein
\n

And then create an index.ts file in which we will write Deno code, we can also write Deno code in javascript instead of Typescript, but as Deno is built on TypeScript we are using Typescript here

\n
const getQuotes = async (fileName: string): Promise<Array<string>> => {\n const decoder = new TextDecoder("utf-8");\n\n const text: string = decoder.decode(await Deno.readFile(fileName));\n return text.split("\\n");\n};\n\nconst quotesArr: Array<string> = await getQuotes("quotes.txt");\n\nconst randomQuote: string =  quotesArr[Math.floor(Math.random() * quotesArr.length)];\nconsole.log(randomQuote);
\n

In the getQuotes function, we are using Deno.readFile #readfile to read the contents of a file as an array of bytes and using TextDecoder to convert the bytes to string and then splitting it in a string array and return

\n

Then we are just picking a randomQuote with Math.random and console.log that on our screen

\n

To run the above code we need to put --allow-read flag in our command as shown below because we need to access the local filesystem to read the file.

\n
deno run --allow-read index.ts
\n

Deno is secure by default, with no file, network, or environment access unless explicitly enabled. You can run deno run --help to see all the available flags for different permissions

\n

Once your program run initially you will see that Deno is compiling the index.ts file and printing a random quote from quotes.txt, if you run the programme again without changing the code it will not compile it again and will just show another random quote.

\n
deno run --allow-read index.ts\nCompile file:///C:/Users/PuneetSingh/Documents/deno_fs/index.ts\nPremature optimization is the root of all evil in programming. - Donald Knuth\n\n\ndeno run --allow-read index.ts\nA lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.  - Steve Jobs
\n

Part 2: Create a file and write text in it

\n

Let's create another TypeScript file write.ts and put the below code in it

\n
import { readLines } from "https://deno.land/std@v0.52.0/io/bufio.ts";\n\nconsole.log('Start typing...');\n\nconst encoder = new TextEncoder();\nawait Deno.writeFile("input.txt", new Uint8Array());\n\n// Listen to stdin input by readLines\nfor await(const line of readLines(Deno.stdin)) {\n   const data = encoder.encode(line+"\\n");\n   await Deno.writeFile("input.txt", data, {append: true});\n   console.log("Wrote the above text in input.txt\\n") \n}
\n

In the above code we are using readLines to raed user input line by line, Every time we run the code Deno.writeFile(\"input.txt\", new Uint8Array()) will create an empty input.txt file in the folder.

\n

Then const line of readLines(Deno.stdin) in a loop will wait for the user to input any text, as we will give any input Deno.writeFile with {append: true} is used to append data in input.txt

\n

Let's run the program, Once we run it, whatever text we will give to the program through standard input will be written to input.txt

\n
deno run --allow-write write.ts\n\nStart typing...\nThis is a demo for Deno\nWrote the above text in input.txt\n\nIn this demo, we will write some text in a file\nWrote the above text in input.txt
\n

If you check the input.txt file you will found the content which was given as input

\n
This is a demo for Deno\nIn this demo, we will write some text in a file
\n

Identity is evolving, and developers are at the forefront of this transformation. Every day brings a new learning—adapting to new standards and refining approaches to building secure, seamless experiences.

\n

We’re here to support developers on that journey. We know how important simplicity, efficiency, and well-structured documentation are when working with identity and access management solutions. That’s why we’ve redesigned the LoginRadius website—to be faster, more intuitive, and developer-first in every way.

\n

The goal? Having them spend less time searching and more time building.

\n

What’s New and Improved on the LoginRadius Website?

\n

LoginRadius’ vision is to give developers a product that simplifies identity management so they can focus on building, deploying, and scaling their applications. To enhance this experience, we’ve spent the last few months redesigning our interface— making navigation more intuitive and reassuring that essential resources are easily accessible.

\n

Here’s a closer look at what’s new and why it’s important:

\n

A Developer-Friendly Dark Theme

\n

\"This

\n

Developers spend long hours working in dark-themed IDEs and terminals, so we’ve designed the LoginRadius experience to be developer-friendly and align with that preference.

\n

The new dark mode reduces eye strain, enhances readability, and provides a seamless transition between a coding environment and our platform. Our new design features a clean, modern aesthetic with a consistent color scheme and Barlow typography, ensuring better readability. High-quality graphics and icons are thoughtfully placed to enhance the content without adding visual clutter.

\n

So, whether you’re navigating our API docs or configuring authentication into your system, our improved interface will make those extended development hours more comfortable and efficient.

\n

Clear Categorization for LoginRadius Capabilities

\"This

\n

We’ve restructured our website to provide a straightforward breakdown of our customer identity and access management platform capabilities, helping you quickly find what you need:

\n\n

This structured layout ensures you can quickly understand each capability and how it integrates into your identity ecosystem.

\n

Developer-First Navigation

\n

\"This

\n

We’ve been analyzing developer workflows to identify how you access key resources. That’s why we redesigned our navigation with one goal in mind: to reduce clicks and make essential resources readily available.

\n

The new LoginRadius structure puts APIs, SDKs, and integration guides right at the menu bar under the Developers dropdown so you can get started faster. Our Products, Solutions, and Customer Services are also clearly categorized, helping development teams quickly find the right tools and make informed decisions.

\n

Quick Understanding of Integration Benefits

\n

\"This

\n

Developers now have a clear view of the tech stack available with LoginRadius, designed to support diverse business needs.

\n

Our platform offers pre-built SDKs for Node.js, Python, Java, and more, making CIAM integration seamless across popular programming languages and frameworks.
