Full Title or Meme

The process of binding an OpenID Connect or OAuth 2.0 interchange to a HTTPS channel that has been established between a user agent and a Web Site.

Context

RFC 5056 "On the Use of Channel Bindings to Secure Channels" Abstract


Problem

  • Token reuse: OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect use of bearer tokens raises the risk of token theft. For years architects have been waiting for Token Binding to get ratified so there would be transparent mechanism to close this gap. The feature has been dropped by the Google Chrome browser as inadequate to solve the problem. So a different solution is required.

Solution

Look to other solutions like Bound Tokens.
