I would say that the security considerations should be based on a model
of OAuth. Start with a model of the protocol and the guarantees you
want, then explain how to use security mechanisms to achieve those
guarantees.
I promised Hannes today to do a review of the current document (which I
admit I haven't read) and start on some security considerations from
that perspective. So expect that in the next few weeks.

We therefore aim to produce a separate security document (informational
I-D/RFC) covering threat model as well as security design and considerations.
The security considerations section of the core spec can then be distilled from
this document.

Torsten.

I was looking for less of an analysis and more of considerations (of the
current flows and actors), I'm not sure how to adapt what you have done to
actually fit in the current specification, was your thought that you would
produce a separate security analysis document?

Subject: Re: [OAUTH-WG] ** OAuth Tutorial& OAuth Security Session **
Hi all,
Mark McGloin and me have been working on OAuth 2.0 security considerations for
a couple of weeks now. Since we both cannot attend the IETF-79 meetings, we
would like to provide the WG with information regarding the current status of
our work. I therefore uploaded a_preliminary_ version of our working document
to the WG's wiki at
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/oauth/trac/attachment/wiki/SecurityConsiderations/oauth20_seccons_20101107.pdf.
The focus of this version was on consolidating previous work as well as results
of mailing list discussions and start working towards a rigorous threat model.
Please give us feedback.
regards,
Torsten.

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 hannes(_dot_)tschofenig(_at_)gmx(_dot_)net
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 hannes(_dot_)tschofenig(_at_)gmx(_dot_)net
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.
