Thanks to group co-proposer Maciej Machulak for the image above. There's no time like the present to get on board – we'll be getting started in just a couple of weeks!
The purpose of this Work Group is to design and develop free and open-source software (FOSS), in several popular programming languages, that empowers developers to incorporate User-Managed Access (UMA) protection and authorization API enablement into applications, services, and devices, promoting privacy enhancement and broader adoption of UMA ecosystems. The UMA WG’s requirements and design principles encourage simplicity of specific kinds, and on the part of specific system entities, in order to foster ecosystem growth; this group’s purpose supports those aims. Specifically:
Design principle 1 states UMA will be Simple: “Simple to understand, implement in an interoperable fashion, and deploy on an Internet-wide scale”
Design principle 4 states UMA will be RESTful: “Resource-oriented (for example, as suggested by the REST architectural style) and operating natively on the Web to the extent possible”
Design principle 10 describes constraints around Complexity: “Complexity should be borne by the [authorization server] endpoint vs. the [resource server] or [client], if possible”
