OAuth 2 in Action teaches you the practical use and deployment of this HTTP-based protocol from the perspectives of a client, authorization server, and resource server. Youll learn how to confidently and securely build and deploy OAuth on both the client and server sides. Foreword by Ian Glazer.
About the Technology
Think of OAuth 2 as the web version of a valet key. It is an HTTP-based security protocol that allows users of a service to enable applications to use that service on their behalf without handing over full control. And OAuth is used everywhere, from Facbook and Google, to startups and cloud services.
