What is OAuth?
o
OAuth (Open Authentication) is an open standard for
authorization
• Allows sharing user’s resources (photos, videos,
contact lists) between different websites
• The user credentials (username and password) are
not shared
• Websites share tokens instead of credentials
• Each token grants access
• to a specific website
• for specific resources
• for a defined duration
• OAuth is a service that is complementary to, but
distinct from, OpenID.

OAuth vs OpenID
o They both live in the general domain of security, identity, and
authorization
o They are open web standards
o They both celebrate decentralization
o They both involve browser redirects from the website you’re trying
to use
o
But they’re different:
they let you do different things
Sicurezza II, A.A. 2010/2011
OAuth vs OpenID
o Open ID gives you one login for multiple sites
» OAuth lets you authorize one website – the consumer
– to access your data from another website – the
provider
o With Open ID, there is no suggestion of two webapps sharing your
data
» With OAuth, any information you hold on any website
can be shared with another website
o With OAuth, you still need to log into the provider

OAuth Protocol
Sicurezza II, A.A. 2010/2011
Example Provider: Twitter
o Twitter (twitter.com) shut off completely Basic Auth on August
30th 2010
http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/13/oauthpocalypse/
o If you have a Twitter account, you can become a Twitter developer:
• Go to dev.twitter.com
• Click “Your apps”
• Register a new application
•
•
•
•
Choose Application Name, Description, Website
Application Type: Browser
…
Register Application
Sicurezza II, A.A. 2010/2011
Example Provider: Twitter
o Registered parameters:
• API key
• Consumer key
• Consumer secret
• Request token URL:
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token
• Access token URL: https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token
• Authorize URL: https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize
o Twitter supports hmac-sha1 signatures, does not support the
plaintext signature method

Obiettivo del laboratorio
o Sviluppare un sito web minimale che effettui un controllo degli
accessi tramite OAuth
• Integrazione con un OAuth consumer
• Interazione con un OAuth provider
Sicurezza II, A.A. 2010/2011
Preparazione del laboratorio
o Server Apache 2.2.13 sotto la cartella $HOME/apache + PHP
Sicurezza II, A.A. 2010/2011
OAuth Libraries
o Sito ufficiale: http://oauth.net/
o Installeremo un provider interno implementato in PHP
• Source code per diversi linguaggi:
http://code.google.com/p/oauth/
• Disponibile in pachetto su
http://www.di.unito.it/~panisson/public/oauth-code.tar.gz
• Scaricare ed estrarre il file oauth-code.tar.gz:
tar -xvzf oauth-code.tar.gz
• Coppiare tutta la cartella php nella document root
cp code/php $HOME/apache/htdocs/oauth -R
• Accedere ai esempi:
http://localhost:8080/oauth/example/
Sicurezza II, A.A. 2010/2011
OAuth Test Server
o Leggere le istruzioni e provare:
• Getting a Request Token
• Getting an Access Token
• Making Authenticated Calls
o Provare con diversi tipi di firme:
• HMAC-SHA1
• PLAINTEXT
• RSA-SHA1
Sicurezza II, A.A. 2010/2011
OAuth Test Client
o Leggere le istruzioni e provare a fare delle chiamate al provider:
• Request Token
• Authorize
• Access Token
o Provare con diverse firme:
• HMAC-SHA1
• PLAINTEXT
• RSA-SHA1
Sicurezza II, A.A. 2010/2011
OAuth Test Client
o Provare con i parametri di Twitter:
• API key
• Consumer key
• Consumer secret
• Request token URL:
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token
• Access token URL: https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token
• Authorize URL: https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize
Sicurezza II, A.A. 2010/2011
OAuth 2.0
OAuth 2.0: http://oauth.net/2/
o Not backward compatible with OAuth 1.0
o
o
Facebook's Graph API only supports OAuth 2.0
and is its largest implementation
o
As of 2011, Google added
OAuth 2.0 experimental support to its APIs
Sicurezza II, A.A. 2010/2011
OAuth: Altre implementazioni
o Provare con l’implementazione in python
•
•
•
•
sh
export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/code/python
python $HOME/code/python/oauth/example/server.py
python $HOME/code/python/oauth/example/client.py
