Authentication using Twitter

Question

I searched through the web, but haven't yet found how the whole process works. I want to authenticate users in an application using their Twitter account, then, using this account, to allow then to post information on my server. So I don't want to interact with Twitter anymore, no posting, no reading tweets. I just want to use it as some kind of passport to get users username.

It sounds like you want to implement some kind of "Login with Twitter" type feature. You'll still need to send a request to Twitter for user authorization. Have you looked through the Twitter API? That's always a good place to start...
