Pass On Access: User to User Data Sharing With OAuth

Jacob Ideskog - Twobo Technologies. Nordic APIs World Tour 2015: May 11 - Copenhagen. As users we often want to pass on access to our digital data to a colleague, friend, or family member. How can we do that with existing standards that we already implement? Jacob Ideskog demonstrates how to share access using OAuth, using a new bike lock sharing IoT device as a real world example.

The talk specifically touches on:
- Using OAuth for user-to-app-delegation
- Implementing access tables
- Delegating tokens and user info
- Using JSON Web Tokens

This talk inspired an in-depth blog post on the Nordic APIs blog. Check it our here: http://nordicapis.com/data-sharing-in-the-iot/
