    Continuing last weekend's documentation of all the un-specified parts of OAuth 2.0, things were going pretty well until I hit the "Security Considerations" section, which basically recommends but doesn't require a whole bunch of things. Basically this means an API can be fully OAuth 2.0 compliant and also completely insecure.

    If you want to know more, keep an eye out for this blog post. Or hire me as an independent OAuth consultant and I'd gladly spend a day with you.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
