The IESG has received a request from the Web Authorization Protocol WG (oauth) to consider the following document: - 'Assertion Framework for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants' <draft-ietf-oauth-assertions-17.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 2014-09-29. 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 specification provides a framework for the use of assertions with OAuth 2.0 in the form of a new client authentication mechanism and a new authorization grant type. Mechanisms are specified for transporting assertions during interactions with a token endpoint, as well as general processing rules. The intent of this specification is to provide a common framework for OAuth 2.0 to interwork with other identity systems using assertions, and to provide alternative client authentication mechanisms. Note that this specification only defines abstract message flows and processing rules. In order to be implementable, companion specifications are necessary to provide the corresponding concrete instantiations. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-assertions/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-assertions/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
