  • Once hailed as unhackable, blockchains are now getting hacked - MIT Technology Review (www.technologyreview.com)
    "Blockchains are particularly attractive to thieves because fraudulent transactions can’t be reversed as they often can be in the traditional financial system."

    @aaronpk I'm guessing you might know better, with #OAuth is it possible to only get the info if the user is who they claim to be (but without a password) or is it also possible to get the info to for example which groups he/she is associated with (like admin, user, reader)?

    Aaron Parecki
    Technically OAuth doesn't even give you user info, you're getting in to OpenID Connect/IndieAuth territory if you want that. As for groups and roles, those are super specific to the implementation so aren't really part of the standard at all. You can use OAuth as a framework to do this but you won't find much in the way of standards for it.

    @aaronpk do you mind sharing how this is done?

    Aaron Parecki
    Not at all! I wrote up a bunch about how this works here: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet

    I mentioned in my #OAuth talk last week that I was working on a blog post describing how to add the Device Flow to any OAuth server, and I just finished the post! \o/ 🔐 https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/02/19/add-oauth-device-flow-to-any-server

    @aaronpk This is echoing to a twitter account, yeah?

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah I have to have a Twitter account for this to work but my site just uses the Twitter API to push content there.

    Or rather, are they?
    Aaron Parecki
    Every W3C working group has a defined start and end date up front, and they have to be renewed explicitly. Twitter and Facebook of course aren't going to support the group, (not that they are members anyway), and the space is still new to other companies.

    Aaron Parecki
    It's a bit complicated, but there isn't a "W3C entity" that can be interested. Instead, representatives of member companies have to show support, and there wasn't enough interest from companies to keep it going after the 4 year charter was up.

    I might just do that.

    I also wonder if there might be some value in making the standards interoperable with the Everipedia Network. It’s not just for encyclopedias.

    I actually want to study the standards themselves too. Have they been endorsed/adopted by the W3C?
    Aaron Parecki
    Wonderful!

    Yes, three of them are W3C Recommendations! There's also a few more pieces to the puzzle that were created after the W3C group concluded, more details here:

    Twitter and the other big networks steal our privacy. We want them to disappear (or reform) for that reason. So we need to give people ways to exit the digital plantation—plugins are essential to that goal IMO.
    Aaron Parecki
    I agree, but a good first start is to treat it as ephemeral and own all of the content you post there so it doesn't matter if it disappears. I see you have a blog, so you can do it right now! Start posting there and use plugins to syndicate to Twitter!

    That sounds great! Chromium and Firefox plug-ins that incorporate Indieweb protocol content in Twitter and Facebook feeds might enable the mass exodus that needs to happen.

    But it does live on Twitter, right? I mean you have copied it there. I would rather not copy my stuff there if I don’t have to. I would prefer Twitter to die a long and painful death. Short would be OK too.

    You are not giving people any incentive to leave Twitter, are you?
    Aaron Parecki
    Maybe this example would help illustrate? Here's our conversation we've been having as far as I see it: https://aaronparecki.com/replies

    It's true that I still need a Twitter account for this to work, but if Twitter disappears tomorrow I wouldn't care.

    Suppose I don’t want to copy anything to Twitter, but I want to let people who are on Twitter read my microposts on Twitter. They’d need a browser plug-in to do that. This way, we help them seek beyond that ecosystem and enter a broader, encompassing network.
    Aaron Parecki
    It would actually solve the issue with Facebook since they disabled their API and I can't post to it anymore. It'd be fun if my Facebook friends could still see my stuff! I'm just not willing to post there manually.

    Yeah I do like that idea! I might have to experiment with something like that. All the pieces are already in place to have that work with the IndieWeb building blocks too!

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.
