For more information on "Token Exchange" read the RFC8693 — OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange document. The Implicit Flow is discouraged due to security concerns. Instead, consider the Authorization Code Flow with PKCE. For more information read the OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practice document, especially section "2.1.2. Implicit Grant" |
| Public client | A "public" client is incapable of maintaining the confidentiality of their credentials. For more information read the RFC6749 — The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework document, especially section 2.1. Client Types on the differences between "confidential" and "public" clients. It is recommended to require PKCE when the client is public. This option has no effect on the Implicit Flow. |
| PKCE | PKCE stands for "Proof Key for Code Exchange". For more information read the RFC7636 — Proof Key for Code Exchange by OAuth Public Clients document. Using PKCE is recommended for all grants based on the Authorization Code Flow. For more information read the OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practice document, especially section "2.1.1.
