API Authentication is the process of using API (Application Programming Interface) calls to provide security. This process provides authentication for websites, applications, and other digital systems. The API authentication process uses an authentication protocol to verify the identity of the client trying to make a connection. The protocol can transmit the remote client's credentials to the remote access server in encrypted or plaintext format. The server then knows whether or not to grant access to that remote client. API Authentication methods: JWT Authentication Token based Authentication Session based Authentication Basic Authentication OAuth - Open Authorization SSO - Single Sign On
