Integrating API Security Into A Comprehensive Identity Platform
summary
Explains how OAuth 2.0 plus OpenID Connect maps into an identity platform: use dynamic client registration to avoid hard-coded secrets, use the client credentials flow for machine-to-machine tokens and the authorization code flow (browser + one‑time code) for user delegation, and emit an ID token with at_hash and audience to prevent token substitution. Warns against implicit flow and homegrown auth APIs, recommends conformance tests and libraries; standards-based setup reduces credential exposure and centralizes authentication.
