It is an OpenID Foundation (OIDF) standard that leverage OAuth 2.0 process flow to add an identity layer in order to obtain basic profile information about the End-User in an interoperable and REST-like manner or verify the identity of the End-User on the basis of the authentication done by an Authorization Server or Identity Provider (IDP). </p>\n<p>OpenID Connect supports clients of all types, including web-based, mobile, and JavaScript clients, to request and receive information about authenticated sessions and end-users. By implementing OpenID Connect, leveraging OAuth 2.0 fabricates a unified framework that promises mobile native applications, secure APIs, and browser applications in a single, cohesive architecture.</p>\n<h2 id=\"what-openid-connect-solves\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#what-openid-connect-solves\" aria-label=\"what openid connect solves permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>What OpenID Connect Solves</h2>\n<p>It is a very common practice to deploy the same password across multiple applications and websites. Since the traditional credentials are not centrally administered, if the security of any website that you use is compromised, a hacker could gain access to your password across multiple sites. </p>\n<p>Here comes OpenID connect in the picture as it never shares a password with any website. Even then, if a compromise does occur, you can immediately prevent any malicious access to your accounts at any website by simply changing the password for your OpenID Connect.</p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/engineering/guest-post/add-authentication-to-play-framework-with-oidc-and-loginradius/\">Add Authentication to Play Framework With OIDC and LoginRadius</a></strong></p>\n<h2 id=\"how-openid-connect-works\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#how-openid-connect-works\" aria-label=\"how openid connect works permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>How OpenID Connect Works</h2>\n<p>Before proceeding further, let’s have a look at some of the terminologies:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Client:</strong> The client is the application that’s trying to access the user’s account. It needs to get permission from the user before accessing the account. For example, a client application can present the user with the login page to get an access token for access to a particular resource.</li>\n<li><strong>Authorization Server:</strong> The authorization server validates the user credentials and redirects the user back to the client with an authorization code. The client communicates with the authorization server to confirm its identity and exchanges the code for an access token.</li>\n<li><strong>Scope:</strong> It specifies the level of access that the application is requesting from the client.</li>\n<li><strong>Claims:</strong> It constitutes the payload part of a JSON web token and represents a set of information exchanged between two parties.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>The application begins with an OAuth 2.0 flow that asks the user to authorize a request. As part of the flow, the client will include the OpenID Connect scope with scopes for any additional information it wants about the user. As the request is processed, the client receives an access token and an ID token issued by the authorization server. The ID token contains claims that have information about the user. </p>\n<p>The SSO is implemented by delivering ID tokens from the authorization server to the client. The client then contacts a dedicated endpoint on the authorization server known as the UserInfo endpoint to receive the remaining claims about the user using the access token. </p>\n<p>It is this ID token which is also known as the J<a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/engineering/jwt/\">SON Web Token (JWT)</a>, which contains claims, which are nothing but statements (like an email address or name) about an entity (the user) and some additional metadata. </p>\n<p>The OpenID Connect specification has a defined set of standard claims. The set of standard claims include name, email, gender, birth date, and so on. However, if you want to capture information about a user and there currently isn’t a standard claim that best reflects this piece of information, you can create custom claims and add them to your tokens.</p>\n<p><img src=\"/aeaf793dde8aee07613c77009a0c6833/what-is-openid-connect-1.webp\" alt=\"what-is-openid-connect-1\"></p>\n<p>For instance, let us say you want to use OpenID Connect to authenticate the user for your own application using Google’s OAuth URL.</p>\n<p><img src=\"/d8c8d3fac522b424074f9de671d44fab/what-is-openid-connect-2.webp\" alt=\"what-is-openid-connect-2\"></p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> On clicking the sign-in button, you are required to pass a few parameters like <strong>scope, **which is a space-delimited list of scopes, **response_type</strong> having the value code, <strong>client_id</strong> having the client identifier, <strong>redirect_uri</strong> having the client redirect URI, and <strong>state</strong> having a random string. </p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> The OpenID provider authenticates users for a particular application instance.</p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:</strong> A one-time-use code is passed back to the client using a predefined Redirect URI.</p>\n<p><strong>Step 4:</strong> The user interface can then share this temporary code with the server</p>\n<p><strong>Step 5:</strong> The server can exchange this code in order to get access to the user’s profile. </p>\n<p>Here, technically speaking, you are not only getting the user profile but an Access Token and an ID Token having all the details of the user’s profile.</p>\n<h2 id=\"openid-connect-vs-openid-20\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#openid-connect-vs-openid-20\" aria-label=\"openid connect vs openid 20 permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>OpenID Connect vs OpenID 2.0</h2>\n<p>OpenID Connect performs various tasks similar to OpenID 2.0, but it does so in such a way that it is API-friendly and usable by mobile and native applications. OpenID Connect defines optional mechanisms for encryption and robust signing. In OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0 capabilities are integrated with the protocol itself, whereas the integration of OAuth 1.0a and OpenID 2.0 requires an extension.</p>\n<p>OpenID Connect and OpenID 2.0 have many architectural similarities. Furthermore, a very similar set of problems are solved by the protocols. However, OpenID 2.0 uses XML and a custom message signature scheme. Their implementations would sometimes abnormally refrain from interoperating. OAuth 2.0, leveraged by OpenID Connect, outsources the required encryption to the web’s built-in TLS (also called SSL or HTTPS) infrastructure, which is implemented on both client and server platforms universally. When signatures are required, OpenID Connect uses standard JSON Web Token (JWT) data structures. For this reason, OpenID Connect is easier for developers to implement, and when implemented, it results in much better interoperability.</p>\n<p>The story of OpenID Connect interoperability has been proven in practice when an extended series of interoperability trials were conducted by members of the OpenID Connect Working Group and the developers behind numerous OpenID Connect implementations.</p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#conclusion\" aria-label=\"conclusion permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Conclusion</h2>\n<p>OpenID Connect, its predecessors, and other <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/engineering/encryption-and-hashing/\">public-key-encryption-based authentication</a> frameworks guarantee the security of the complete internet by having the responsibility for user identity verification in the hands of the most trusted and reliable service providers.

</p>\n<p>An identity system or identity management system is an information system or a group of technologies working together to ensure the right individual has access to the right resources. </p>\n<p>Moreover, an identity system or a <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/\">consumer identity and access management</a> (CIAM) system helps businesses secure millions of consumer identities on their platform to offer a robust mechanism that prevents data breach. </p>\n<p>A CIAM solution also offers valuable insights into a consumer’s behavior, which further allows businesses to tailor their marketing and onboarding strategies. </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/resource/an-identity-checklist-to-strategize-ciam-in-the-cloud/\"><img

achieving business goals through an identity system. </p>\n<p>We all come across different personalization experiences whenever we purchase goods from online marketplaces. </p>\n<p>Whether it’s Amazon suggesting a pair of running shoes when you purchase sports shorts or Netflix suggesting you a series based on your preferences, personalization is undeniably the key to push consumers to the sales funnel. </p>\n<p>However, the actual game begins in the first couple of seconds whenever an individual interacts with a brand for the first time. </p>\n<p>Yes, enterprises need to understand the importance of the onboarding process, which, if personalized adequately, can do wonders for their brand. </p>\n<p>Let’s understand this thing with an example.</p>\n<p>Imagine a user lands on a website and thinks about signing up. The website asks for a long list of details for the signup procedure. </p>\n<p>The user somehow manages to fill the enormous signup form (although around 80% of users will switch at this moment). </p>\n<p>Now the website, after the signup process, again asks for specific information. This information would be used to deliver a personalized experience but would undoubtedly hamper the user experience. </p>\n<p>The remaining users would now switch platforms. </p>\n<p>Here’s where an identity management solution like LoginRadius comes into play. </p>\n<p>The innovative CIAM solution leverages <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/identity/presenting-progressive-profiling-loginradius/\">progressive profiling</a> that gradually collects user information and automatically delivers personalized journeys and thus reducing fatigue and improving signup rates and conversions. </p>\n<h2 id=\"how-loginradius-offers-competitive-edge-to-businesses\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#how-loginradius-offers-competitive-edge-to-businesses\" aria-label=\"how loginradius offers competitive edge to businesses permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>How LoginRadius Offers Competitive Edge to Businesses?</h2>\n<p>Let’s learn how LoginRadius helps brands deliver a flawless customized experience that increases conversions and improves lead generation rates. </p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Personalized Experiences:</strong> Bring in more revenue through LoginRadius that offers a great personalized experience.

One is by using google authenticator codes, and the other is sending OTP on the consumer's email. But the easiest and convenient way is to do it via SMS.</p>\n<p>SMS stands for <strong>Short Messaging Service</strong>, which you guessed right. The text messages that we get on our mobile phones. This SMS holds an One Time Password (OTP), used to validate the consumer login.

It can be information like promotional messages, notifications, or personal texts, but they also carry authentication codes (OTPs). </p>\n<p>Using SMS authentication is quite simple and easy to understand. When a consumer tries to log in to a website, system, or network, he provides the login credentials. On successfully authenticating the login credentials, the server now does a two-factor authentication. It ensures that the consumer trying to log in is who he says he is. To authenticate the user, a text SMS and an OTP are sent to the consumer's registered mobile number. When that OTP is entered, the consumer gets authenticated, and then only they can access the contents of the system/application.</p>\n<p>SMS authentication is based on one of the three types of <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/identity/what-is-multi-factor-authentication/\">multifactor authentication</a>, i.e., <strong>Possession based authentication</strong>. In this type of MFA, the consumer is authenticated via something that only he can possess, which is the mobile handset.</p>\n<h2 id=\"merits-and-demerits-of-using-sms-authentication\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#merits-and-demerits-of-using-sms-authentication\" aria-label=\"merits and demerits of using sms authentication permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Merits and Demerits of Using SMS Authentication</h2>\n<p>Everything in this world holds both the concepts of merits and demerits, and so does SMS authentication. Let's first discuss the merits that it has.</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Additional Layer of security:</strong> Two-factor authentication is now widely used to protect consumers' account data. SMS authentication provides an extra layer of protection that too without any complexity. At least it is far better than having no additional security check.</li>\n<li><strong>Ease of usage</strong>: It is the human behaviour that we always look for an easy way to get our work done.

Now imagine having a complex two-factor authentication setup. Users will end up frustrated doing complex authentications. Here SMS authentication rises as an easy and secure option.</li>\n<li><strong>Low Cost:</strong> Sending SMS to consumers includes minor charges, which helps a lot for the organization with a large consumer base.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Even after being so convenient and easy to operate, there are some demerits also. These demerits are capable enough to make the organizations think that it is enough to protect the business. Let's discuss them one by one:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>SIM Highjacking or Device theft:</strong> It looks effortless to send the verification code on a mobile number and authenticate consumers based on that. But the Option of SMS authentication can be harmful if the SIM/device got lost or stolen by someone. As in this case, SIMs can easily be used on other mobile phones, and they will still receive the validation code.</li>\n<li><strong>Hacking:</strong> Earlier, it was complicated to intercept GSM-based SMS, but as the technologies are evolving, hackers have also got more power in their hands. The regular text which is sent and received over mobile phones can easily be intercepted today.</li>\n<li><strong>Social Engineering Attacks:</strong> Compared to earlier days, more devices are now connected to the internet today. Today, <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/identity/phishing-for-identity/\">a simple phishing link</a> via a text msg or any advertisement will do the job. If a consumer clicks on the link by mistake or falls into any such trap, all his data will be gained by hackers, including SMS.</li>\n</ol>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/resource/loginradius-ciam-phone-authentication/\"><img src=\"/46289e0fd6e7fcb32b496b8922df717f/phone-auth-DS.webp\" alt=\"phone-auth-DS\"></a></p>\n<h2 id=\"should-businesses-use-sms-authentication\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#should-businesses-use-sms-authentication\" aria-label=\"should businesses use sms authentication permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Should Businesses Use SMS Authentication?</h2>\n<p>With all the demerit points discussed above and keeping all the security issues in mind, businesses might want to reconsider their authentication methodology. It is known very clearly that cybercrimes and hackers are overgrowing, especially after the internet revolution. </p>\n<p>Hacking groups and organizations are getting sophisticated daily, and SMS authentication has not evolved with such changes. We are still using a similar old mechanism to send text messages.</p>\n<p>Hence, intercepting a text message is easier as compared to earlier days.</p>\n<p>So to answer the big question, yes, it is better to have some two-factor authentication in the form of SMS authentication, but businesses should not rely entirely on it. They must think of other possible authentication mechanisms if they are collecting sensitive consumer data.</p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#conclusion\" aria-label=\"conclusion permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Conclusion</h2>\n<p>Dropping the idea of SMS authentication might look easy. Still, it is a bit difficult for some organizations because, as we already mentioned, SMS authentication is a very well-established method and has been used for a long time. The convenience provided in authenticating the end-users is also unparalleled. </p>\n<p>But businesses need to find an alternative for this as SMS authentication cannot be heavily relied upon. The key to achieving that is to find any other authentication method which is as easy, convenient, user-friendly, and secure at the same time. Going with the new trends in the technologies, <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/identity/what-is-mob-biometric-authentication/\">Biometric Authentication</a> is one feasible solution.

hamper user experience and eventually become a threat. </p>\n<p>Cybercriminals are exploiting consumer identities of OTT subscribers and are accessing critical consumer information and trying to exploit business data for diverse purposes. </p>\n<p>Moreover, the most subscribed OTT platform globally has reported users sharing access credentials beyond permitted limits with their friends and families, which is the leading cause of revenue loss. </p>\n<p>Thus, to overcome the situation where concurrent login is exploited in OTT services, there needs to be a stringent mechanism that provides real-time insights regarding a user’s login details and adequately manages login sessions for each sign-in and sign-out. </p>\n<p>Here’s where the role of a <a
