OAuth Provider

I'm working on a project where I need to expose part of my site as an
API for external web services. The interactive portion of the website
is secured using the Auth Component. I want to have security around
calls into the API, but I don't want to have to store username and
password combinations on the external systems. I was looking into
OAuth as a possible solution to this problem. Unfortunately, I have
only Cake tools that act as an OAuth consumer. In my case I need to
act as an OAuth Provider, so I don't thing the consumer tools will
work for me.

Does anyone have any suggestions how I might go about leveraging OAuth
to secure inbound API calls? Or, more generally, does anyone have any
suggestions on how I might secure inbound API calls using another
technology that would coexist well with the Auth Component that I am
already using?
