OAuth Working Group

The OAuth Working Group is a team within the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) focused on developing standardized protocols that enable secure, delegated access to online resources. It allows users to grant third-party applications limited permissions to their data without sharing login credentials. For example, you can authorize a fitness app to access your health data from a service, without giving it your password. The group’s work ensures these interactions are safe, consistent, and interoperable across different platforms and services, fostering privacy and security in online integrations.
