Dear Rifaat and esteemed community members, I am pleased to share my research paper on 'Unified Singular Protocol Flow for OAuth (USPFO) Ecosystem'. The highlights of the paper are:
1. Separation of Duties (SoD) - Delegates responsibility of authenticating client applications to a third-party endpoint, allowing for a more adaptable approach to client application authentication. It also makes it convenient to rotate the security keys. 2. Deprecates use of Basic Authentication - Employing Basic Authentication for clients poses a security risk as client secrets, encoded in Base64, can be exposed through man-in-the-middle attacks or vulnerabilities in the software. These can then be misused for impersonation attacks, potentially granting unauthorized access to restricted scopes which would otherwise not be available to less trustworthy clients. 3. Introduces 'assertion_uri' as an additional parameter to be registered with the authorization server at the time of registration of client application. 4. Built-in support for integrity, authenticity and audience binding. 5. Removes the distinction between confidential and public clients, offering an alternative approach for a cohesive strategy within the OAuth ecosystem. 6. It can be summarized in one equation: USPFO = assertion_URI + JWS + PAR + PKCE + DPoP - basic_auth The research paper can be accessed here <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/367557833_Unified_Singular_Protocol_Flow_for_OAuth_USPFO_Ecosystem> . I'm eager to hear your thoughts and feedback.
