(Please discuss this draft on the Apps-Discuss <[email protected]> mailing 
list)

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hammer-oauth-v2-mac-token

While this document has moved to the Apps-Discuss mailing list for the time 
being, I wanted to give a quick update to those who have been following this 
draft which originated on this list.

The major changes since -02 are:

* Removed OAuth terminology and association. The draft is now a general purpose 
HTTP authentication scheme. It does include an OAuth 2.0 binding which is 
described in less than a page. One suggestion would be to move section 5.1 into 
the OAuth specification and drop all the OAuth 2.0 text from the MAC draft.

* Added 'Set-Cookie' extension for using MAC with session cookies.

* Removed request URI query normalization. The new draft uses the raw request 
URI unchanged.

* Replaced timestamps with credentials age to remove the need for clock sync.

* Added a placeholder for extension, allowing random text to be included in the 
request and MAC.

* Added issuer attribute for identifying the source of the credentials as an 
additional protection.

Draft -04 is not compatible with previous drafts.
