//! Google Cloud Client Libraries for Rust - Authentication Components
//!
//! This crate contains types and functions used to authenticate applications
//! on Google Cloud.  The SDK clients consume an implementation of
//! [credentials::Credentials] and use these credentials to authenticate RPCs
//! issued by the application.
//!
//! [Authentication methods at Google] is a good introduction on the topic of
//! authentication for Google Cloud services and other Google products. The
//! guide also describes the common terminology used with authentication, such
//! as [Principals], [Tokens], and [Credentials].
//!
//! # Features
//!
//! - `default-rustls-provider`: enabled by default. Use the default rustls
//!   crypto provider ([aws-lc-rs]) for TLS and authentication. Applications
//!   with specific requirements for cryptography (such as exclusively using the
//!   [ring] crate) should disable this default and call
//!   `rustls::CryptoProvider::install_default()`.
//! - `idtoken`: disabled by default, this feature enables support to create and
//!   verify [OIDC ID Tokens].
//! - `default-idtoken-backend`: enabled by default, this feature enables a default
//!   backend for the `idtoken` feature. Currently the feature is implemented using
//!   the [jsonwebtoken] crate and uses `aws-lc-rs` as its default backend. We may
//!   change the default backend at any time, applications that have specific needs
//!   for this backend should not rely on the current default. To control the
//!   backend selection:
//!   - Configure this crate with `default-features = false`, and
//!     `features = ["idtoken"]`
//!   - Select the desired backend for `jsonwebtoken`.
