summary | **Summary:**
1. **OpenID and OpenID Connect**: - OpenID: A decentralized authentication protocol that allows users to log in using credentials from external providers. - OpenID Connect: An authentication layer on top of the OpenID protocol, enabling single sign-on (SSO) across multiple applications while providing user information securely.
2. **How OpenID Connect Works**: - User authenticates with an Identity Provider (IdP). - IdP sends a response containing a JSON Web Token (JWT) to the client. - Client verifies the JWT and retrieves user information from it.
3. **Specifications**: - JWT: JSON Web Tokens, used for securely transmitting claims between parties as a JSON object. - JWS: JSON Web Signatures, a method for digitally signing a JWT. - JWE: JSON Web Encryption, a method for encrypting a JWT. - JWK: JSON Web Key Set, a set of public keys in JSON format used to verify signed tokens. - JWA: JSON Web Algorithms, the algorithms used by JWS and JWE.
4. **Implementations**: - Certified OpenID Connect Implementations: List of implementations that have been certified as compliant with the OpenID Connect specification. - Uncertified OpenID Connect Implementations: List of implementations that are not certified but claim to support OpenID Connect. - OpenID Federation Implementations: Implementations supporting federated authentication between different identity providers. |
