What are the main components included in the Spring Security module?

The main components of Spring Security include:

• Authentication Manager — responsible for user authentication, verifying provided credentials.
• Authentication Provider — a specific implementation that performs authentication checks (e.g., database verification).
• UserDetailsService — a service for loading user data (login, password, roles).
• Security Filter Chain — a chain of filters that intercept HTTP requests and apply security rules.
• Access Decision Manager — makes access decisions based on roles and permissions.
• Password Encoder — responsible for hashing and verifying passwords.

These components work together to provide authentication and authorization in a Spring-based application.
