Explain the differences between OAuth and OpenID Connect, and how they are used in managing authentication and authorization in web applications.
OAuth is a protocol that allows an application to authorize services on behalf of the user without exposing user credentials. OpenID Connect, built on top of OAuth 2.0, adds an identity layer, enabling clients to verify the identity of the end-user and obtain basic profile information, making it suited for both authentication and authorization purposes.
