What is MassAuth?

Enjoy authorizing with pleasure and endless possibilities.

StoneAssemblies.MassAuth is a free, open source distributed, extensible message-based authorization framework built on top of MassTransit. It is a gatekeeper pattern implementation, which also allows you to improve the responsiveness and throughput of your system, from a loosely coupled and a message-driven approach.

The main goal of the gatekeeper pattern is about to

“Protect applications and services by using a dedicated host instance that acts as a broker between clients and the application or service, validates and sanitizes requests, and passes requests and data between them. This can provide an additional layer of security, and limit the attack surface of the system."
