Perhaps a Googler can jump in on this Google allows Oauth apps to use
³anonymous² as their consumer key, with ³anonymous² as their consumer
secret. These apps do not need to pre-register for a consumer key.
See bullet point #2 in Google¹s Oauth docs regarding the ³anonymous²
consumer key:
Hi zemi,
This can be done using asymmetric key cryptography. For example if
abc.com is a service provider and if they wanna add a gadget to
google.com(consumer)
to offer their services to their clients using google.com. Google signs all
requests to service provider using a private key
Hi everybody,
I need a consumer to request (3-legged) 'request' tokens without
previous registration on provider side.
I've noticed Google and Plaxo support this with 'anonymous' consumer
key? How exactly is this then handled on provider side? Do they create
token only or consumer key also?
Thanks
