[secdir] ** OAuth Tutorial & OAuth Security Session **

[Hannes Tschofenig <[e-mail]>]

Hi all, 

please consider attending the following two meetings! 

** OAuth Security Session **

	• Date: Monday, 13:00-15:00
	• Location: IAB breakout room (Jade 2)
	• Contact: Hannes Tschofenig [e-mail]
The security consideration section of OAuth 2.0 (draft -10) is still empty. Hence, we would like to put some time aside to discuss what security threats, requirements, and countermeasures need to be described. We will use the Monday, November 8, 1300-1500 slot to have a  discussion session.

As a starting point I suggest to look at the following documents:

	• http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/oauth/trac/wiki/SecurityConsiderations
	• http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/oauth/trac/wiki/SignaturesWhy
	• http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-tschofenig-oauth-signature-thoughts-00.txt

Note: If you are unfamiliar with OAuth then the OAuth tutorial session might be more suitable for you!



** OAuth Tutorial **

	• Date: Wednesday, 19:30 (after the plenary)
	• Location: IAB breakout room (Jade 2)
	• Contact: Hannes Tschofenig [e-mail]
OAuth allows a user to grant a third-party Web site or application access to their resources, without necessarily revealing their credentials, or even their identity. The OAuth working group, see http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/oauth/charter/, is currently trying to finalize their main specification, namely OAuth v2: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-v2/

Based on the positive response at the last IETF meeting (in Maastricht) we decided to hold another OAuth tutorial, namely on *Wednesday, starting at 19:30 (after the IETF Operations and Administration Plenary) till about 21:00. (Note: I had to switch the day because of the social event!)

It is helpful to read through the documents available int he working group but not required.
