Description
Understanding OpenID Connect for Web and Mobile Apps The concept of signing up with a single account across multiple web and mobile apps is becoming increasingly popular. This approach simplifies the login process for end-users, making it more convenient and likely to encourage them to try new apps. For developers, this feature also offers benefits, such as reduced management of user credentials and increased conversion rates. OpenID Connect is a standardized protocol that enables secure sharing of end-user data in a controlled manner. This book explores the overall concept of OpenID Connect, explaining its key components, including actors, endpoints, tokens, and flows. The author provides visualizations of these flows as sequence diagrams to help developers understand how they interact. By focusing on understanding OpenID Connect at a conceptual level, this book helps developers design and architect apps that work with the protocol. The book covers topics such as token construction, signing, and encryption using JWT, JWS, and JWE, without delving into programming language or library implementations.
