Nat - is there cryptanalysis of the proposed model available anyplace?

Extending protocols by throwing in a smidgen of hashing and a tablespoon of encryption is often a bad idea. One of the strengths of /RFC/ 6749 is that it avoids stuff like that.

What do you mean when you say -

[quote]
The server MUST NOT include the "tcsh" value in the form that any entity but itself can extract it.
[\quote]

Is this even theoretically achievable without a stateful server that maintains a table of [code x tcsh] pairs?

If not, how should the server embed tcsh in "code" and what constructions are recommended?

As some of you know, passing the authorization code securely to a native app on iOS platform is next to impossible. Malicious application may register the same custom scheme as the victim application and hope to obtain the code, whose success rate is rather high.

We have discussed about it during the OpenID Conenct Meeting at IETF 87 on Sunday, and over a lengthy thread on the OpenID AB/Connect work group list. I have captured the discussion in the form of I-D. It is pretty short and hopefully easy to read.

IMHO, although it came up as an issue in OpenID Connect, this is a quite useful extension to OAuth 2.0 in general.

Best,

Nat Sakimura
