OAuth Web Resource Authorization Profiles
Yaron Y. Goland, Allen Tom, Dick Hardt, Brian Eaton · 2010
The OAuth Web Resource Authorization Profiles (OAuth WRAP) allow a server hosting a Protected Resource to delegate authorization to one or more authorities. An application (Client) accesses the Protected Resource by presenting a short lived, opaque, bearer token (Access Token) obtained from an authority (Authorization Server). There are Profiles for how a Client may obtain an Access Token when acting autonomously or on behalf of a User.
