EyePop uses a standard OAuth system to manage access to your Pops.
In essence, OAuth is a token exchange and management protocol that allows you to create public temporary keys for your authenticated users. Depending on your Pop use case, a temporary key may or may not be necessary so let's explore the main use cases.
The primary Pop use cases are as follows:
Server to Server: You or a server talks directly to your Pop.
Server to Client: Your clients talks directly to your Pop - temporary keys are required.
