oidc-client-ext

This library is built on top of oidc-client-js (forked in @inrupt/oidc-clienr), and adds the following features to it:

• Dynamic client registration Dynamic Client Registration is part of the OpenID specification and it allows OAuth client applications to dynamically register with an OAuth server. To learn more about how this works, you can have a look at this page

• DPoP tokens for authentication DPoP, or Demonstration of Proof of Possession, is part of the OAuth 2.0 spec and is an extension that describes a technique to cryptographically bind access tokens to a particular client when they are issued. This is one of many attempts at improving the security of Bearer Tokens by requiring the application using the token to authenticate itself.

This proposed standard is still in draft status. To learn more about how this works, you can have a look at this page
