Dear all,

We are contacting you because we noticed that you recently restarted the work 
on OAuth 2.0 Device Flow. We are in the process of publishing an ETSI standard 
[1] specifying a protocol with very similar goals. This has been developed by 
an EBU (European Broadcasting Union) working group involving broadcasters, such 
as BBC, SRG-RTS, VRT, RTVE, TVP, Global Radio UK, and device manufacturers.


Our work on the “Cross Platform Authentication” protocol targets media devices, 
such as connected TVs and radio receivers. It is based on the early OAuth 2.0 
Device Flow draft, but includes additional features driven by broadcast 
industry requirements. These include: dynamic registration of clients, dynamic 
discovery of the authorization provider, and issuing of access tokens without 
requiring association with a user account in order to provide device-based 
authentication that does not require user sign-in or pairing. Our draft 
protocol specification is available here [2].


Cross Platform Authentication also specifies several aspects left open to 
implementers in OAuth 2.0, such as endpoint URL paths, to facilitate 
interoperability. Also note that reference implementations are available [3].


We would be very interested in working together with you to explain our design 
requirements and try to align our protocol designs.


With best regards,


The EBU Cross Platform Authentication group
