OAuth alternative?

Question

I have been investigating OAuth to share resources in my site to other sites. But, hole of OAuth specification was reported several days ago. http://oauth.net/advisories/2009-1

Many sites decided to stop OAuth until fixed version is released.

Currently, can we have any alternative to OAuth? I want an open-standard and secure authorization protocol.

Answer 1

OAuth was built because there weren't any existing standards that solved the same problem. A fixed OAuth spec is forthcoming soon. It will be a pretty small change to the existing protocol.
