OAuth 2 / OpenID Connect for Web Platform API JavaScript runtimes

This software is a collection of routines upon which framework-specific client modules may be written. Its objective is to support and, where possible, enforce secure and current best practices using only capabilities common to Browser and Non-Browser JavaScript-based runtime environments.

Target profiles of this software are OAuth 2.1, OAuth 2.0 complemented by the latest Security BCP, and FAPI 2.0. Where applicable OpenID Connect is also supported.

In Scope & Implemented

• Authorization Server Metadata discovery
• Authorization Code Flow (profiled under OpenID Connect 1.0, OAuth 2.0, OAuth 2.1, and FAPI 2.0), PKCE
• Refresh Token, Device Authorization, and Client Credentials Grants
• Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession at the Application Layer (DPoP)
• Token Introspection and Revocation
• Pushed Authorization Requests (PAR)
• UserInfo and Protected Resource Requests
• Authorization Server Issuer Identification
• JWT Secured Introspection, Response Mode (JARM), Authorization Request (JAR), and UserInfo

Certification

Filip Skokan has certified that this software conforms to the Basic RP Conformance Profile of the OpenID Connect™ protocol.

Runtime requirements

The supported JavaScript runtimes include ones that

• are reasonably up to date ECMAScript (targets ES2020, but may be further transpiled for compatibility)
• support required Web API globals and standard built-in objects
  • Fetch API and its related globals fetch, Response, Headers
  • Web Crypto API and its related globals crypto, CryptoKey
  • Encoding API and its related globals TextEncoder, TextDecoder
  • URL API and its related globals URL, URLSearchParams
  • atob and btoa
  • Uint8Array
• These are (not an exhaustive list):
  • Browsers
  • Cloudflare Workers
  • Deno (^1.21.0)
  • Electron
  • Next.js Middlewares
  • Node.js (runtime flags may be needed)
  • Vercel Edge Functions

Out of scope

• CommonJS
• Implicit, Hybrid, and Resource Owner Password Credentials Flows
• Mutual-TLS Client Authentication and Certificate-Bound Access Tokens
• JSON Web Encryption (JWE)
• JSON Web Signature (JWS) rarely used algorithms and HMAC
• Automatic polyfills of any kind
