Basically, this argument comes down to which validation pattern you prefer. OPTION 1: 0. Input = object + signature 1. Verify match between object data and HTTP fields 2. Verify signature over the object OPTION 2: 0. Input = signature 1. Construct object data from HTTP fields 2. Verify signatu

Thanks Richard. FWIW, RFC 5849 was stuck in IESG discuss until I the language regarding the use of HTTPS with plaintext secrets was changed from SHOULD to MUST. Before the change, the security consideration section clearly highlighted the danger in not using HTTPS. OAuth 2.0 adds support for sh

2010-09-23 Thread Richard L. Barnes
I also agree with the observation about consensus being based on individual voices. I don't think it's accurate to say that signatures are a generic security mechanism. As I would think we learned from OAuth 1.0[a], it can actually be pretty subtle to define how signatures are used in a

First, thanks for putting this together. It provides a pretty comprehensive story about the signed tokens proposal. I don't have much to add at this point to the drafts. My position, which I have expressed many times before about this approach is: Any solution involving repeating the HTTP reque

Since much of this recent debate was done off list, I'd like to ask people to simply express their support or objection to including a basic signature feature in the core spec, in line with the 1.0a signature approach. This is not a vote, just taking the temperature of the group. EHL ___

I agree with your point that consensus is based on individual voices. I agree with Eric's points that signatures are a generic security mechanism and that signatures should be in a separate spec. -- Dick On 2010-09-23, at 6:11 PM, Eran Hammer-Lahav wrote: > It is pretty clear from the recent

It is pretty clear from the recent public response that a core specification without signatures is going to be viewed as weak and insecure. This has been my position for over a year, and if it wasn't clear, I am going to continue expressing it. We have enough interest to get a basic signature s

Google wanted to re-state our long standing opinions on HTTP signature mechanisms in the OAuth2 spec. The short version is that standards for signing parts of an HTTP request have value in use-cases other than OAuth2, and thus they should be defined outside the spec, and just referenced from the s
