Therefore, we believe that it is necessary and timely to conduct an in-depth study to demystify OAuth for mobile application developers. However, the protocol has been significantly repurposed and re-targeted over the years: (1) all major identity providers, e.g., Facebook, Google and Microsoft, have re-purposed OAuth for user authentication (2) developers have re-targeted OAuth to the mobile platforms, in addition to the traditional web platform. The initial objective of the protocol was specific: it serves the authorization needs for websites. OAuth has become a highly influential protocol due to its swift and wide adoption in the industry.
