The IESG has approved the following document: - 'OAuth 2.0 Rich Authorization Requests' (draft-ietf-oauth-rar-22.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Web Authorization Protocol Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Paul Wouters and Roman Danyliw. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-rar/ Technical Summary The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework [RFC6749] defines the parameter scope that allows OAuth clients to specify the requested scope, i.e., the permission, of an access token. This mechanism is sufficient to implement static scenarios and coarse-grained authorization requests, such as "give me read access to the resource owner's profile" but it is not sufficient to specify fine-grained authorization requirements, such as "please let me transfer an amount of 45 Euros to Merchant A" or "please give me read access to folder A and write access to file X". This specification introduces a new parameter authorization_details that allows clients to specify their fine-grained authorization requirements using the expressiveness of JSON data structures. Working Group Summary There were no controversial discussions related to this document. A few key changes were made based on GENART review. Document Quality There are several implementations and deployments of this specification available, such as - the Yes banking ecosystem (with ~1200 IDPs) uses RAR for authorising payment initiation and qualified electronic signatures. - ConnectID product implementation, see https://connect2id.com/products/server/docs/datasheet#rar - Authlete supports RAR since version 2.2 and it is confirmed that at least one of their customers is operating a commercial service that utilizes RAR with CIBA as of April, 2022. Additionally, other organizations use this specification as a foundation for their work. For example: - The Cloud Signature Consortium included RAR as means to authorise electronic signature to the v 2.0 of its API for remote signature creation (https://cloudsignatureconsortium.org/resources/ <https://cloudsignatureconsortium.org/resources/>). - OpenID Foundation’s FAPI working group added RAR support to the FAPI 2 baseline profile (https://openid.net/specs/fapi-2_0-baseline-01.html <https://openid.net/specs/fapi-2_0-baseline-01.html>).
