Hi Melissa,
That is how I look at OAuth.
I just spent a few days working on some code to work with AWS S3.
Which basically does a simple PUT request using a HMAC SHA signature.
This way AWS trust the request is coming in from who they think it is
at lets it in.
While working on this I started to notice my development server was
getting hit on from far off lands.
Woke me back up that yes, any open port is a door that some one is
going to try and knock on.
Regardless if if there might not be anything there for them.
So the topic idea of security is still pretty broad and It could make
a good meeting.
If we all can narrow it down to what the group might be most
interested in and who else might be able to talk about it.

Sounds interesting, but I would also be interested in the related
issue of trust.
Best regards,
