Protocols like OAuth, OpenID Connect, and SAML are the backbone of modern Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems, enabling secure authentication and authorization.
OAuth: OAuth is an open standard for access delegation, allowing third-party applications to access resources on behalf of a user without exposing the user’s credentials. It ensures secure API authorization and simplifies integration.
OpenID Connect (OIDC): Built on top of OAuth, OIDC adds an identity layer for authentication. It provides user information in a secure way and is widely used for Single Sign-On (SSO) and federated identity.
SAML: Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties. It enables Single Sign-On (SSO) by sharing security assertions across domains.
