Notes for this weekplan:

The same point as last week: There is a lot of reading material, but keep in mind that you only need to 'get the overview to solve exercises'.

E.g. the OAuth 2.0 Authentication protocol is highly complex, but my slides and Fig 2.1 covers the 'core understanding' and is enough to get you going in solving the SkyCave exercises regarding single-sign-on.
