Authorization for the Internet of Things using OAuth 2.0
draft-ietf-ace-oauth-authz-00
Abstract
This memo defines how to use OAuth 2.0 as an authorization framework
with Internet of Things (IoT) deployments, thus bringing a well-known
and widely used security solution to IoT devices. Where possible
vanilla OAuth 2.0 is used, but where the limitations of IoT devices
require it, profiles and extensions are provided.
