Re: [Txauth] Call for WG name preferences

[Mike Jones <[e-mail]>]

Prefer:

    * GNAP    Grant Negotiation and Authorization Protocol – The focus on grants is correct.  And it’s a snappy name.

    * GranPro    GRAnt Negotiation Protocol – The focus on grants is correct.  Pronounceable.

    * NIRAD    Negotiation of Intent Registration and Authority Delegation – Cool sci-fi sounding name.

    * PAuthZ    Protocol for Authorization – Accurate description.

    * RefAuthZ    Refactored Authorization Protocol – Accurate description.

    * ReAuthZ    Reimagined Authorization Protocol – Accurate description.

    * WRAC (Web Resource Authorization Collaboration) - Pronounced like RACK – Cool name, with history going back to OAuth WRAP.

    * XAuthZ    eXtensible authoriZation protocol – Accurate description.



Wouldn't object to:

    * AAuthZ    Alternative Authorization Protocol (AAuthZ)

    * AZARP    AuthoriZed Access to Resources Protocol

    * AZARAP    AuthoriZation And Resource Access Protocol

    * BeBAuthZ    Back-end Based Authorization Protocol

    * DAZARAP    Delegated AuthoriZation And Resource Access Protocol

    * TINOA   This Is Not OAuth



Object to:

    * BYOAuthZ    Build-Your-Own Authorization Protocol – Too cheesy.

    * CPAAP    Comprehensive Privileged Authentication Authorization Protocol – Too much like a medical device name.

    * DIYAuthZ    Do-It-Yourself Authorization Protocol – Too cute.

    * IDPAuthZ    Intent Driven Protocol for Authorization – IDP already means something else.

    * TIAAP    Tokenized Identity and Access Protocol – I don’t know what “tokenized” is referring to here.

    * TIDEAuth    Trust via Intent Driven Extension Auth – I don’t know what “intent” is referring to here.

    * TIDYAuth    Trust via Intent Driven Yield Auth – I don’t know what “intent” is referring to here.

    * TIEAuth    Trust via Intent Extension Auth – I don’t know what “intent” is referring to here.

    * TXAuth    Testable eXtensible Authorization – I don’t know what “testable” is referring to here.

    * TxAuth      Transmission of Authority – It’s delegation of authority – not transfer of authority.

    * TXAuth      Truly eXtensible Authorization – Too cute.
