OAuth 2.0 Framework

Category: infrastructure

An open authorization standard that allows applications to secure limited access to user accounts on behalf of a third-party service.

OAuth handles "access delegation" rather than raw authentication. Instead of sharing your login password, OAuth uses secure tokens (like JWTs) to give an app specific permission to perform tasks—such as allowing an analytics tool to read your data bucket files exclusively.

Common Examples

• We implemented OAuth 2.0 authorization rules across our public data endpoints, issuing granular tokens to verified subscriber firms.
• OAuth tokens can be automatically expired and revoked, insulating the primary infrastructure layer from token harvest exposure.
