Looks great! Not sure if 'JSON Web Token (JWT)' belongs on this list, but not a big problem.

With the > completion of OAuth 1.0 the working group started their work on OAuth 2.0 > to incorporate implementation experience with version 1.0, additional > use cases, and various other security, readability, and interoperability > improvements. An extensive security analysis was conducted and the result > is available as a stand-alone document offering guidance for audiences > beyond the community of protocol implementers. > > The working group also developed security schemes for presenting > authorization > tokens to access a protected resource. This led to the publication of > the bearer token as well as the message authentication code (MAC) access > authentication specification. > > OAuth 2.0 added the ability to trade a SAML assertion against an OAUTH > token with > the SAML 2.0 bearer assertion profile. This offers interworking with existing > identity management solutions, in particular SAML based deployments. > > OAuth has enjoyed widespread adoption by the Internet application service > provider > community. To build on this success we aim for nothing more than to make > OAuth the > authorization framework of choice for any Internet protocol.
