OIDC

securityweb dev

Stands for: OpenID Connect

An identity layer on top of OAuth 2.0 for authenticating users.

OpenID Connect adds authentication to the OAuth 2.0 authorization framework, issuing signed ID tokens (JWTs) so an application can verify who a user is. It is the modern successor to much of what SAML did for web single sign-on.
