Attendees authenticate using their <strong>institutional PoliTO credentials</strong> through a SAML2 flow backed by a <strong>Keycloak</strong> Identity Provider, ensuring that only enrolled students can register — without storing passwords in the application.</p> <p>The backend is a <strong>Django REST API</strong> connected to a <strong>PostgreSQL</strong> database. Upon successful authentication, the system generates a unique QR code for each session and user pair. Organizers can scan codes in real time via a dedicated endpoint, and an admin dashboard provides attendance summaries, CSV exports, and per-seminar statistics.</p>
