What exactly is OAuth (Open Authorization)?

What exactly is OAuth (Open Authorization)?

I have gleaned some information from

  • OAuth
  • Twitter Tutorial: What is OAuth And What It Means To You
  • What is OAuth

But I want to learn and know more. I’m looking for info on the lifecycle. Why do most of the social networks rely on this open protocol?

Will it become a de facto in near future with the various technologies (e.g. ASP.NET)?
