It’s official! As of today, the OAuth Core 1.0 Specification has been published.

From the OAuth blog:

“OAuth (pronounced “Oh-Auth”), summarized as “your valet key for the web,” enables developers of web-enabled software to integrate with web services on behalf of a user without requiring the user to share private credentials, such as passwords, between sites.”

Congratulations to all involved in writing the spec, hashing out the details on the mailing list, and building implementations in so many different languages.
