Auth secrets are a way to connect Authentication Providers to enable and add authentication on your created APIs. These secrets ensure that access to a system is granted only to those with the correct credentials. A common method involving authentication secrets in modern applications uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and the JSON Web Key Set (JWKS).
