(中文版附录暂未翻译)
The OAuth protocol enables websites or applications (Consumers) to access Protected Resources from a web service (Service Provider) via an API, without requiring Users to disclose their Service Provider credentials to the Consumers. More generally, OAuth creates a freely-implementable and generic methodology for API authentication.
OAuth协议致力于使网站和应用程序(统称为消费方)能够在无须用户透露其认证证书(译注:如登录密码)的情况下,通过API访问某个web服务(统称为服务提供方)的受保护资源。更一般地说,OAuth为API认证提供了一个可自由实现且通用的方法。
