The development of OAuth 1.0 reduced many of the headaches for developers and allowed them to use a single authorization technology across hundreds of APIs on the Web. However, OAuth 1.0 came with some challenges as well—cryptographic signa- tures and limited definition of how to use it for authorizing applications not using a server-to-server web application flow. I’m delighted that the standardization of OAuth 2.0 is nearly complete, as it provides an authorization protocol that’s easy to use both for these types of applications and for a variety of other use cases. Perhaps most exciting is the upcoming standardization of OpenID Connect—a proto- col built on top of OAuth 2.0 to enable using the same identity to log in (authenticate) to multiple applications. While I’ve worked with hundreds of developers who have successfully built earlier versions of OpenID authentication into their web applications, it’s rarely been a very smooth process. Just as OAuth 2.0 makes authorization easier for developers, OpenID Connect does the same for authentication. I hope this book gives you the foundation knowledge you need to work with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect as the next-generation authorization and authentication technologies for the Web.
