Yes, a digital signature can be used for authentication. SSL/TLS is one example. OAuth specifies some signing algorithms that could be used for the purpose.
But it seems dangerous to extend OAuth to do authentication as well as authorization. Better for OAuth to focus on doing one thing really well. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OAuth" group.
