  • Why industry alignment on open standards will be key to unlocking a secure AI future - Application Security Weekly

    Open standards are essential for building secure, interoperable, and trustworthy AI ecosystems. Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, discusses the IPSIE working group’s efforts to create consistent identity security profiles, why protocols like MCP and A2A require authentication frameworks to safely manage AI agents’ access and communication, and how Cross App Access provides centralized control over AI-driven and app-to-app interactions.

    The IETF OAuth Working Group has adopted the Identity Assertion Authorization Grant specification!

    This specification provides a mechanism for an application to use an identity assertion to obtain an access token for a third-party API by coordinating through a common enterprise identity provider

    This is the basis of Cross App Access (XAA), providing IT admins better visibility and control of app-to-app connections by configuring the connections in their enterprise IdP.

    While it will still be a while before it is an RFC, this is an important step in the standards process, as this is the first time the document is "official"! This signifies that the working group agrees that the problem is worth solving, and agrees on the general direction of the spec.

    Thanks to everyone for your contributions and feedback so far!

    And thanks to my co-authors Karl McGuinness and Brian Campbell!

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.
