ForgeRock Secure Sharing: The Framework

My previous blog outlined how a sharing solution involves trusting people, resources, applications and services, and the access information communicated between a producer and consumer. Let’s turn our attention now to the specific architectures, standards, and technologies that are used to implement an advanced secure sharing solution.

The Kantara Initiative, Inc. developed the User-Managed Access (UMA) 2.0 specification, which describes an open standard for person-to-person resource sharing. UMA 2.0 is an extension of the OAuth 2.0 access delegation open standard specification. This is the framework for ForgeRock Secure Sharing.
