Benefits of Adopting LTI 1.3
The new security framework behind LTI 1.3 provides enhanced security measures that prioritize the privacy and protection of sensitive information with a more robust security model.
According to 1EdTech, its security frameworks adopt the industry-standard protocol IETF OAuth 2.0 for authentication services and JSON Web Tokens for secure message signing. It also adopts the open ID Connect workflow paradigm.
This provides enhanced agility, flexibility, and scalability, while also providing encryption and a mobile-ready model independent of web browsers.
