Good question. The auth work for this release is mainly focusing on service-to-service authentication. We are looking into adding OAuth2 and JWT support for enduser auth in the future release.

thanks all!
Cool. Also - what does Istio use for persistence? I imagine it's gonna persist the data for auth'ing stuff somewhere.
If you're referring to where the key/cert is persisted, it's currently facilitated by Kubernetes' secrets and mounted into Envoy container
