The OAuth 2.1 Authorization Framework
draft-ietf-oauth-v2-1-00
Abstract
The OAuth 2.1 authorization framework enables a third-party
application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on
behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction
between the resource owner and the HTTP service, or by allowing the
third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf. This
specification replaces and obsoletes the OAuth 2.0 Authorization
Framework described in RFC 6749.
