BitShares Europe to become OAUTH provider for the BitShares Blockchain (#devs)

[xeroc]

@roelandp: The private keys don't leave beet. For authentication on bitshares.eu using BEET, a message (random token) is signed. The signed message is returned and evaluated at the server. If the signature matches the user that tries to sign in, the server grants access to the account.
Oauth2 works on top of that login process.

Again, the key never leaves the BEET app and bitshares.eu never sees your keys.

thats pretty epic.

Can you elaborate on how one's private keys will be encrypted (but useable) on Bitshares EU server? Or would explaining this be a potential security vulnerability?

Afaik BTS EU server would act as a middle man, validating and exchanging oauth tokens for executing signed operations using private keys right? In this case the presented 'granular' auth-keys proposal by @schiessl (?) (on Bitfest 2018) would be great.

for the BitShares Blockchain and reference faucet operator.
