# JSON Compatible Encoder { #json-compatible-encoder }

There are some cases where you might need to convert a data type (like a Pydantic model) to something compatible with JSON (like a `dict`, `list`, etc).

For example, if you need to store it in a database.

For that, **FastAPI** provides a `jsonable_encoder()` function.

## Using the `jsonable_encoder` { #using-the-jsonable-encoder }

To summarize for any encrypted object there exists (at least) three different keys:

- [OEK](#oek): A secret and unique key used to encrypted the object, stored in an encrypted form as part of the object metadata and only loaded to RAM in plaintext during en/decrypting the object.

The authentication flow is similar to that of OpenID, however the token is "opaque" to MinIO - it is simply sent to the plugin for verification. CAVEAT: There is no console UI integration for this method of authentication and it is intended primarily for machine authentication.

If you don't care about any of these terms and you just need to add security with authentication based on username and password *right now*, skip to the next chapters.

## OAuth2 { #oauth2 }

OAuth2 is a specification that defines several ways to handle authentication and authorization.

It is quite an extensive specification and covers several complex use cases.

It includes ways to authenticate using a "third party".
