The objective of this project is to design a secure authorization system using OAuth principles that allows third-party applications to access user resources without exposing user credentials. The system improves security while enabling controlled access delegation.
Study authorization concepts and differences between authentication and authorization.
Analyze common security risks in third-party application integrations.
Design an OAuth-style authorization workflow.
Implement user consent mechanisms for granting permissions.
Generate and manage secure access tokens.
Enforce token expiration and revocation policies.
Validate tokens before granting resource access.
Log authorization requests and token usage.
Test authorization flows with simulated client applications.
Evaluate system security against token misuse.
Document advantages and limitations of token-based authorization.
