Oauth2 Explanation

OAUTH2

The Problem

I’m a web app that wants to allow other web apps access to my users’ information, but I want to ensure that the user says it’s ok.

The Solution

I can’t trust the other web apps, so I must interact with my users directly. I’ll let them know that the other app is trying to get their info, and ask whether they want to grant that permission. Oauth defines a way to initiate that permission verification from the other app’s site so that the user experience is smooth. If the user grants permission, I issue an AuthToken to the other app which it can use to make requests for that user's info.

Note on encryption

Oauth2 has nothing to do with encryption -- it relies upon SSL to keep things (like the client app’s shared_secret) secure.

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Python boto3 script to download an object from AWS S3 and decrypt on the client side using KMS envelope encryption
#!/usr/bin/env python
###############################################################################
# This script downloads an object from AWS S3. If the object was encrypted,
# it will be decrypted on the client side using KMS envelope encryption.
#
# Envelope encryption fetches a data key from KMS and uses it to encrypt the
# file. The encrypted file is uploaded to an S3 bucket along with an encrypted
# version of the data key (it's encrypted with a KMS master key). You must
# have access to the KMS master key to decrypt the data key and file. To
# decrypt, the file is downloaded to the client, the encrypted data key is
