Right on the tail of Zend_Crypt_Rsa comes my updated, refreshed, (and in active development!) proposal for an OAuth component.
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=37957 For those unaware, OAuth is a recently finalised open standard for authorising applications to a web service API. It has seen growing adoption from the likes of Twitter, Yahoo and Google and many more. As an alternative to the usual chaotic custom authorisation layers (including the risky ones which need your username and password of all things) it's quite attractive, and as a plus it's a deliberately simple protocol with an equally simple specification. This component is in active development...for a whole 2 hours so far ;). I aim to have an operating Consumer up and running by the weekend, followed by a Server soon after. Your input, comments, critique, screams of outrage, or sarcastic misgivings are more than welcome! I a working on use cases for my test suite at the moment so check back regularly as the API progresses. I would also appreciate some feedback on Zend_Crypt_Rsa which is a (possible, if accepted) dependency needed for Google's OAuth server.
