What authentication protocol is associated with single sign-on (SSO)?

OAuth 1.0
OpenID Connect
Kerberos
RADIUS

The correct answer is: OpenID Connect

OpenID Connect is widely recognized as an authentication protocol associated with single sign-on (SSO). It builds on the OAuth 2.0 framework and adds an identity layer on top. This allows users to authenticate with a single set of credentials across different services, streamlining the user experience. By using OpenID Connect, applications can validate the identity of users based on the authentication performed by an authorization server, which enhances security and simplifies account management. In contrast, OAuth 1.0 is primarily an authorization framework, not specifically designed for authentication or SSO. Kerberos is another authentication protocol often used in enterprise environments but is more closely linked to network authentication rather than the broader web-based SSO scenarios that OpenID Connect addresses. RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is also an authentication and accounting protocol mainly used for network access and is not designed for the same SSO use cases as OpenID Connect.
