OAuth 2.0 protocol

Today to share information of sharepoint with Facebook, Twitter, linkedin, google or live edu you need to create a SSO (single sign-on).
As it seems, in sharepoint 15 (2013) we get a new protocol called OAuth 2.0.

What is OAuth 2.0 protocol?

OAuth 2.0 is an upgrade of Frotokl OAuth from 2006 (a more advanced generation evolution of the protocol). It allows us to authenticate a user and give it a specific and temporary approval of our application. OAuth specification is being developed in IETF WG and shell based on OAuth.
The protocol has been implemented in applications of Android and iPhone user receiving the operating system (Yes. .. Android does not send the details of your gmail any foreign entity).
Think now about a world in which the SP talking to him Ioser of Facebook, and get him to only specific permissions to share some information.

SharePoint  15 will be continued...
