OpenID

OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an industry-standard authentication protocol built on top of the OAuth 2.0 framework. It uses simple REST/JSON message flows to make integration straightforward for developers while supporting advanced identity features when needed. OpenID Connect enables secure user authentication across websites and apps without requiring organizations to manage password files, reducing risk and improving user experience.

With OIDC, clients of all types—web, mobile, and JavaScript—can request and receive verified information about users and their authenticated sessions. The protocol is also extensible, supporting features such as encrypted identity data, provider discovery, and session management to meet varying security and scalability needs.

OAuth 2.0, as defined by the IETF (RFC 6749 and 6750), provides the underlying framework for secure authorization flows. OpenID Connect builds on this foundation to deliver trusted identity services.
