Start here: the map of identity

Welcome. In this track you meet six made-up people: Maya, Sam, Priya, Bot A, Kai and Zara. You learn identity through their days, starting from zero.

What you will learn

Identity is the quiet layer under every app. It decides who is knocking and what they may do. Think of the watchman at a housing society gate. The watchman asks who you are and which flat you visit. Then they decide if you may enter. You already know the idea. We give it the right names. We explain every new word. By the end, words like OAuth will make sense. If words like "server" or token are new, start with The Absolute Basics first.

The journey

You meet the cast and learn the basic words. Then you see the bigger picture. Then you meet machines and AI agents. Last come the rules and a recap.
