OAuth and OpenID Connect

OAuth 2.0 (RFC 6749) is the industry-standard protocol for authorization, enabling third-party applications to obtain limited access to web services. OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an identity layer built on top of OAuth 2.0 that enables clients to verify the identity of end users and obtain profile information. Together they form the foundation for API security and developer authentication across the modern web.
