Abstract | OAuth 2.0, as defined in [1], is a widely adopted authorization protocol across various platforms, including web, mobile, and API-driven applications. It is built around access tokens, which define the scope, lifetime, and other critical access attributes, offering a secure and flexible way of managing resource access. This paper reviews the evolution, core components, and different token types as outlined in [1], focusing on their role in secure access management. Additionally, the paper provides a detailed analysis of the four primary grant types—Authorization Code, Implicit, Resource Owner Password Credentials, and Client Credentials—highlighting their functionality, advantages, and potential limitations. By examining these elements, this paper aims to guide all relevant stakeholders –including technologists, product team, security professionals, compliance team, end users and other partners -- in selecting the most suitable grant type for specific OAuth 2.0 implementations. |
