Daily Term: OpenID Connect

OpenID Connect

OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an authentication protocol built on top of OAuth 2.0. It allows applications to verify a user’s identity and obtain basic profile information using ID tokens. For instance, when you log into an app using 'Sign in with Google,' OIDC handles the authentication, while OAuth manages authorization for data access. OIDC provides a standardized way to authenticate users across services but requires integration with an identity provider.
