+
+<SubHeading>Open standard and protocol for secure authorization and authentication on the internet.</SubHeading>
+
+OAuth, which stands for "Open Authorization," is an open standard and protocol for secure authorization and authentication on the internet. 
+It allows users to grant third-party applications limited access to their resources or data without sharing their login credentials. 
+
+OAuth is widely used by web and mobile applications to provide secure access to services and data from other providers (known as "resource servers") on behalf of a user.
+
+> Here are the **key components and concepts of OAuth**:
+
+## **Resource Owner** 
+
+The resource owner is the user who owns the data or resources being accessed. For example, this could be a user's photos on a social media platform or their email messages.
+
+## **Client** 
+
+The client is the application that wants access to the user's resources. This could be a mobile app, a web application, or any software component that interacts with the resource server on behalf of the user.
+
+## **Authorization Server** 
+
+The authorization server is responsible for authenticating the resource owner and granting access tokens to the client. 
+It verifies the identity of the user and ensures they give consent for the client to access their resources.
+
+## **Resource Server** 
+
+The resource server hosts the protected resources that the client wants to access. It can be a web service, an API, or any other data provider.
+
+## **Access Token** 
+
+An access token is a credential that the client uses to access the resource server on behalf of the user. 
+It serves as proof of authorization and is issued by the authorization server. Access tokens are typically short-lived and can have different scopes, indicating the specific permissions granted to the client.
+
+## **Authorization Grant** 
+
+The authorization grant is a credential representing the resource owner's consent for the client to access their resources. 
+It is used by the client to obtain an access token. Common authorization grants include the "authorization code," "implicit," "password," and "client credentials."
+
+## **Redirect URI** 
+
+After the user grants or denies permission, the authorization server redirects the user back to the client application at a predefined redirect URI. This URI is used to deliver the authorization code or access token.
+
+## ✅ In Summary
+
+OAuth is often used for scenarios where a user wants to allow a third-party application to access their data from another service without sharing their login credentials. 
+For example, when you use your Google or Facebook account to log in to a third-party app, OAuth is typically used to manage this authentication and authorization process securely.
+
+OAuth has become a fundamental building block for modern web and mobile applications, enabling secure and controlled access to user data and services while protecting user credentials and privacy.
