# OIDC protocol

The OIDC protocol involves the following entities:

* the **end user**, who is trying to do something
* the **web browser**, used by the user
* the **web application**, which the user uses to do things, and as
  part of that access resources
* the **resource provider**, where the resources are, and which allows
  access to them via a web API
* the **identity provider**, which authenticates the user
