Day 1 of LetsLearnAndLoveProgramming Series

OpenID-Connect and OAuth2 and concepts

The Apis and data must be always protected from unauthorized access. There are multiple ways of doing it and OpenID & Oauth2 protocols are accepted as the widely used approach. In the Dotnet world, Authentication and Authorization are done using Identity-server which implements OpenId-Connect and Oauth2 frameworks. Though there are multiple articles are explaining the flows and the ways of doing it, I found it difficult to understand the concepts clearly as there is a lot of terminologies and terms being referred by the above protocols. So, Kick-starting the day1 of this learning&sharing series by this article which collates the terminologies that are referred often in the Authentication and authorization world

Major terminologies

Next steps

Uploaded the terminologies which I have come across while learning the concepts. Let me know in the comment section if I'm missing any important terms/my understanding is wrong. Thanks for reading! We learned something new together today 😊 Cheers!!!✌️

will continue adding endpoints and flow details in next part
