Hey guys based on the discussion before, during, and after the Paris IETF meeting I am going to send the following updated charter / milestones to the IESG. Please have a quick look (till the end of the week) to double-check the content (particularly the suggested milestone dates):
---------- Web Authorization Protocol (oauth) Description of Working Group The Web Authorization (OAuth) protocol allows a user to grant a third-party Web site or application access to the user's protected resources, without necessarily revealing their long-term credentials, or even their identity. For example, a photo-sharing site that supports OAuth could allow its users to use a third-party printing Web site to print their private pictures, without allowing the printing site to gain full control of the user's account and without having the user sharing his or her photo-sharing sites' long-term credential with the printing site. The OAuth protocol suite encompasses * a procedure for allowing a client to discover a resource server, * a protocol for obtaining authorization tokens from an authorization server with the resource owner's consent, * protocols for presenting these authorization tokens to protected resources for access to a resource, and * consequently for sharing data in a security and privacy respective way. In April 2010 the OAuth 1.0 specification, documenting pre-IETF work, was published as an informational document (RFC 5849). 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. Consequently, the ongoing standardization effort within the OAuth working group is focused on enhancing interoperability of OAuth deployments. While the core OAuth specification truly is an important building block it relies on other specifications in order to claim completeness. Luckily, these components already exist and have been deployed on the Internet. Through the IETF standards process they will be improved in quality and will undergo a rigorous review process.
