Hi,

I'm working on a web app project that require Picasa Access, and from 
reading the documentation and researches, I can't find a Read-Only access 
scope.  I realize that if my app get hacked, the bad guys can potentially 
use the refresh tokens to delete photos off of user accounts.  Unless 
someone here can tell me a secret undocumented scope that allow apps 
Read-Only access, I'm having to redesign the infrastructure so that the web 
app make calls to another secure server that actually stores the refresh 
tokens, secret key, and make the API calls.

My question (beside why is in name of small fluffy animals Google didn't 
make a read-only scope) is how does everyone else here who do web 
applications secure their secret key and refresh token to prevent the 
security scenario stated above?
