An OAuth2.0-Based Unified Authentication System for Secure Services in the Smart Campus Environment

Abstract

Based on the construction of Shandong Normal University’s smart authentication system, this paper researches the key technologies of Open Authorization(OAuth) protocol, which allows secure authorization in a simple and standardized way from third-party applications accessing online services. Through the analysis of OAuth2.0 standard and the open API details between different applications, and concrete implementation procedure of the smart campus authentication platform, this paper summarizes the research methods of building the smart campus application system with existing educational resources in cloud computing environment. Through the conducting of security experiments and theoretical analysis, this system has been proved to run stably and credibly, flexible, easy to integrate with existing smart campus services, and efficiently improve the security and reliability of campus data acquisition. Also, our work provides a universal reference and significance to the authentication system construction of the smart campus.
