The IESG has received a request from the Web Authorization Protocol WG (oauth) to consider the following document: - 'OAuth 2.0 Device Flow for Browserless and Input Constrained Devices' <draft-ietf-oauth-device-flow-09.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-06-12. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This OAuth 2.0 authorization flow for browserless and input constrained devices, often referred to as the device flow, enables OAuth clients to request user authorization from devices that have an Internet connection, but don't have an easy input method (such as a smart TV, media console, picture frame, or printer), or lack a suitable browser for a more traditional OAuth flow. This authorization flow instructs the user to perform the authorization request on a secondary device, such as a smartphone. There is no requirement for communication between the constrained device and the user's secondary device. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-device-flow/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-device-flow/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references.
