Fosite is a security-first, extensible OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect SDK for Go that implements industry-standard protocols with strong security considerations.
Extensible security first OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect SDK for Go.
Fosite is designed for developers building secure authentication and authorization systems using OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect protocols in Go applications. It is ideal for teams needing a flexible, extensible library to implement secure API security, authentication flows, and identity management in their services.
Fosite focuses on providing a secure and extensible OAuth2 and OpenID Connect implementation; users are encouraged to vendor the library to ensure API stability. For a complete OAuth2 server solution, consider using ORY Hydra, which is built on top of Fosite and offers a ready-to-use service integrating multiple authentication methods.
