About OAuch...

The OAuth 2.0 protocol is a popular and widely adopted authorization protocol. It has been proven secure in a comprehensive formal security analysis, yet new vulnerabilities continue to appear in popular OAuth implementations. OAuch tries to improve the security of the OAuth landscape by measuring how well individual authorization servers implement the security specifications defined in the OAuth standards, and by providing detailed and targeted feedback to the operators to improve the compliance of their service. OAuch tests and analyzes authorization servers according to the guidelines of the OAuth 2.0 standards and security best practices.

OAuch is developed by the Distrinet Research Group in the context of a research project on API security. It is available for free and the source code can be found on GitHub. Contact the OAuch team at info@oauch.io.
