Introduction

ORY Keto is a permission server that implements best practice access control mechanisms:

• Available today:
  • ORY-flavored Access Control Policies with exact, glob, and regexp matching strategies
• Available soon:
  • Access Control Lists
  • Role Based Access Control
  • Role Based Access Control with Context (Google/Kubernetes-flavored)
  • Amazon Web Services Identity & Access Management Policies (AWS IAM Policies)

Each mechanism is powered by a decision engine implemented on top of the Open Policy Agent and provides well-defined management and authorization endpoints.

Ecosystem

ORY Security Console: Administrative User Interface

The ORY Security Console is a visual admin interface for ORY Hydra, ORY Oathkeeper, and ORY Keto.

ORY Hydra: OAuth2 & OpenID Connect Server

ORY Hydra ORY Hydra is a hardened OAuth2 and OpenID Connect server optimized for low latency, high throughput, and low resource consumption. ORY Hydra is not an identity provider, which would include user sign up, user log in, or password reset flow. Hydra connects to your existing identity provider through a consent app.

ORY Oathkeeper: Identity & Access Proxy

ORY Oathkeeper is a BeyondCorp/Zero Trust Identity & Access Proxy (IAP) built on top of OAuth2 and ORY Hydra.
