Course Overview

OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect are the industry standards for securing authentication and authorization in modern web and mobile applications. Understanding these frameworks is crucial for developers and security professionals implementing secure user authentication, access delegation, and identity verification. This course provides in-depth knowledge of OAuth 2.0 grant types, OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication mechanisms, and best practices for ensuring secure implementation across various systems.

This course begins with foundational concepts, covering identity, authentication, authorization, and multi-factor authentication. It then explores how OAuth 2.0 compares to SAML before diving into OAuth 2.0 prerequisites such as client registration and terminology. The course provides an extensive breakdown of OAuth 2.0 grant types, including authorization code, PKCE, implicit, client credentials, and refresh token grants. Error handling strategies and security considerations for both front and back-channel communications are also covered. The final sections introduce OpenID Connect Core, comparing it with SAML, explaining JWT-based authentication, ID tokens, and OIDC grant types. Security best practices and future recommendations for clients and providers conclude the course.

By the end of this course, learners will have a solid understanding of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect implementation, along with security best practices for authentication and authorization, ensuring robust protection of user identities and data.
