Android Security Essentials Live Lessons - OAuth and OpenID

[Ross Crockett]

Hello Godfrey,
I'm an Android native apps developer and am looking at using OAuth or OpenID in an app I manage as a personal project, do you have an opinion on using these as opposed to an AAA mechanism built by myself for the app?

Cheers,
Ross

I'm a big fan of getting someone else to do the work. I've used OAuth on a number of projects but usually as an alternative rather than the only way login. But I don't see any reason why you couldn't use it as the only way to login.
