  The correct answer is: Public API resource = OAuth. OAuth is used to protect APIs, it's like when you login to a remote website with Your Google Login Creds. The remote website issues an authentication token to Google, Google authenticates you, if authenticated, allows the access request to the user request. username and password in an encoded string = HTTP basic Authentication because you can do basic username and password authentication via HTTP basic authentication because HTTP is encoded with UTF-8, ASCII, ISO-8859-1, or BASE64 for example. These are all basic HTTP methods of Encoding. Authorization through identity provider = SecureVault because SecureVault is like CyberArk, it centralizes credentials and becomes the identity provider and only allows you to log into appliances and devices after authenticating with the SecureVault (such as CyberArk).
