Explanation
OAuth 2.0 uses both authorization and authentication mechanisms to provide enhanced validation for delegated access to protected resources.
Common mistakes.
- B. Custom headers can be used in API calls but are not core mechanisms of OAuth 2.0 itself for enhanced validation, though they might carry tokens or other information.
- C. Request management is a general term referring to how requests are handled, not a specific OAuth 2.0 mechanism for validation.
- E. Accounting (tracking resource usage) is part of AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) but is not a direct validation mechanism within the OAuth 2.0 protocol itself.
