Is OAuth meant for User Authentication in SharePoint or for Authorization of Apps (Add-Ins) in SharePoint?

OAuth is the buzz word nowadays. But I am not able to clearly figure out whether OAuth is really meant for User Authentication in SharePoint or it is meant for the Authorization of Apps (Add-Ins) with SharePoint application. I listened to a TechEd video a few days by one MVP called Eric Shupps and he has a slide which clearly tells that, it is not for User Authentication. But unfortunately, I couldn't find it documented anywhere clearly (MSDN or TechNet) saying that it is not for User Authentication. In OAuth, the Auth means Authorization or Authentication? Can anyone please explain clearly and also provide some authentic links, which explain things clearly?
