SocialGraph FooCamp 2008 here I come!

Posted on January 31, 2008

I’m sitting in Frankfurt Airport (FRA) waiting for my connecting flight to San Francisco which will let me attend Social Graph FooCamp 2008. According to the cast of people assembled on the wiki it seems that its going to be lots of fun and hopefully very productive. I’ll be arriving to SF after noonish. If you want to meet, say hi, or anything else, Email me through the contact page. [Read More]

OAuth Core 1.0 Final – Out the door into a service near you

Posted on December 5, 2007

At IIW 2007b OAuth Core 1.0 Final was released. I wish I could attend IIW but I had previous work related obligations that I simply could not get out of. I do hope to attend the next one (IIW 2008a). Now it’s time to update the C# client to the latest and really final version of the spec. Congrats to everyone involved with OAuth. It is a truly amazing group of people and I think we can all be proud of the outcome! [Read More]

OAuth C# (very) Basic Library

Posted on October 17, 2007

I know it took me a while (sorry) but I had a couple things on my plate. At first I wanted to release a more complete integration of OAuth within ASP.NET, but that will have to wait to the next time frame I can allocate to work on this. In the meantime, there is some basic C# code in the OAuth code repository which generates the OAuth signature, which is the most complicated thing to implement in the spec (not that it’s that difficult to implement :-) It’s actually quite easy).

OAuth Core 1.0 Final Draft – Implement it while it’s hot

Posted on October 7, 2007

After Chris blogged about it Eran Hammer-Lahav wrote a Beginner’s Guide to OAuth I have little to add.

I will add though that my C# library which I’m promising for quite some time will get out very soon :-) (Sorry for the delay, it’s been hectic around here).

OAuth 1.0 Public Draft – Another brick in the wall

Posted on September 22, 2007

Others have made such great explanations as to what OAuth is and what it does like Eran Hammer-Lahav’s post so I won’t repeat it. I will say that OAuth should make the Internet a little bit safer by giving the technical means to remove the need of a certain service asking the user to give his/her username and password to access another service that that user is also using. OAuth is to credentials delegation what OpenID is to authentication. [Read More]
