I'm worried that the baby thinks people can't change.

one thing you are missing is OAuth2.0 allows tokens to be validated by other external services with public keys. So I could validate your token from PayPal was actually signed by the PayPal servers. I’m not sure your method allows that
What is "my method" in this context? I am strictly referring to the PayPal API, etc., as they currently exist. I have not proposed any method.
I was just referring to this “If instead you passed merely a signature of the request signed using the secret, then any breach leaks only the specific token, and not the entire client authority.”
Then I think you may have misunderstood. PayPal still issues the same token. The only difference is that the initial request to PayPal uses a signature instead of passing the actual key directly.
(Separately, apparently this is supported by OAuth, but PayPal just doesn't actually use that part, for some reason?)
Are you referring to a shared secret between server and client to sign?
Presumably it would be a public/private key - but like I said, OAuth apparently actually has this, PayPal just doesn't use it:https://darutk.medium.com/oauth-2-0-client-authentication-4b5f929305d4 …
ok now I’m with ty for including docs for context. Yea would make more sense to support that as a payment service for better security. Doesn’t seem difficult either.
