This solves a real and common problem with public client implementations. I certainly would like to see it move forward.  Thanks for publishing it Nat.


Cheers,

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
