Will be talking about 'The Many Flavors of OAuth' at apidays.co/sanfrancisco including brief overview of identity layers #openidconnect #oidc, and #IndieAuth. Use code 'Soonhin' to get free tix. @aaronpk thanks for aaronparecki.com/2018/07/07/….

Awesome! I'd love to know what kinds of questions you get after the talk!

Got a #IndieAuth question. Since there is no client pre-registration, there is no client secret. Thus during code/access token exchange no client secret is used. Less secure than Authorization Code and more like Implicit perhaps?

But, most importantly, the fact that IndieAuth uses a URL for the client ID means that you *do* authenticate the client in the initial Auth Code request, since the redirect URL has to match the domain or be registered. That's an improvement over OAuth with no secret.
