Re: [OAUTH-WG] OAuth Milestone Update and Rechartering

[Bill Mills <[e-mail]>]

I think there's a use case for this work that may or may not be covered by the PoP spec, and in fact I think this work is related to that.  The MAC token work is really one use case of POP tokens.  Rather than shouting it down let's figure out how to solve this use case.

I agree with Brian and object to the Authentication work item. I think there’s limited interest and utility in such a draft, especially now that OpenID Connect has been published and its core authentication capabilities are identical to what was called for in the other draft a year ago (a similarity, I’ll add, which was noted at the time).

I would object to 'OAuth Authentication' being picked up by the WG as a work item. The starting point draft has expired and it hasn't really been discusses since Berlin nearly a year ago.  As I recall, there was only very limited interest in it even then. I also don't believe it fits well with the WG charter.

I would suggest the WG consider picking up 'OAuth Symmetric Proof of
 Possession for Code Extension' for which there is an excellent starting
 point of http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sakimura-oauth-tcse-03 - it's a relativity simple security enhancement which addresses problems currently being encountered in deployments of native clients.
