It involves four key components: resource owner (user), client (application), authorization server (token issuer), and resource server (API). OpenID Connect builds on OAuth 2.0 by adding an authentication layer with ID tokens. Best practices include using PKCE for public clients, validating state parameters, using short-lived tokens, and avoiding the Implicit flow for new applications.
