# Authlete

> Authlete is an API-first OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect backend service. It provides a headless
> authorization-server engine that handles OAuth/OIDC protocol operations and token management,
> letting organizations stand up standards-compliant authorization servers and verifiable-credential
> issuers without building the protocol layer themselves. Deployment models include a managed shared
> cloud, dedicated cloud, and self-managed, across US, Japan, Europe, and Brazil regional clusters.
> Advanced profiles include FAPI / FAPI 2.0, CIBA, PAR, Device Flow, Grant Management, OpenID
> Federation, Native SSO, and OID4VCI, plus regional standards (Brazil Open Banking, Australia CDR).
