## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Authlib is a comprehensive Python library for building OAuth 1.0, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect servers and clients, with integrated support for JWT, JWS, JWK, and JWA standards.

Verdict: Authlib is a mature, actively maintained library with broad OAuth/OpenID Connect coverage and low install friction. No known vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and strong spec compliance make it suitable for production authentication systems. The deprecation of authlib.jose in favor of joserfc is noted in the documentation.
