ID Token
An ID Token is the OIDC token that carries the user's identity information for the client application.
Definition
An ID Token is the identity-focused token returned in an OpenID Connect flow. Its purpose is to let the client application verify who the user is and establish an authenticated session based on trusted identity data issued by the authorization server.
The Ariovis perspective
Tokens are part of an access architecture, not a substitute for identity governance or authorization. Their scope, lifetime, validation and revocation must match the risk of the API and user journey.
