Standard HTTPS secures the connection between the user and Cloudflare. Origin Server Authentication secures the connection *between* Cloudflare and your origin server. It adds an extra layer of security by verifying Cloudflare's identity, preventing attackers from bypassing Cloudflare and directly accessing your origin.
