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 https://tech.ebu.ch/cpa [1] https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/WorkProgram/Report_WorkItem.asp?WKI_ID=47970 [2] https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/tech/tech3366.pdf [3] https://tech.ebu.ch/code/cpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
