Greetings!
No,you can use same authentication for both and using Named Credentials to store the confidential information like username and password is the best practice.
Named Credentials:https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=named_credentials_define.htm&language=en_us
Also,please find the information in the below blog for authentication:

Kindly mark it as best answer if it helps so that it can help others in the future.

Thank you for your respnose.
1)Inbound REST API --- Is only connected app required for inbound integration authentication? or Remote site also also required for authorization .
2)outboud REST API ---- Is only Remote site setting is required. No connected app needed here. Please correct me here.
Can you please provide your inputs when Connected app and Remote site needed for Inbound /Outbound REST API.
1) Inbound REST API
For Inbound calls, you can do with a connected app/Auth Provider. See this blog for example
2) Outbound REST API
For outbound calls, you can use oAuth 2.0. See
OAuth Authorization Flows
