Answer from AI
In Spring Security, the following protocols are often used for authorization and authentication:
- HTTP Basic Authentication — a simple way to transmit login and password in HTTP headers.
- Form-based Authentication — traditional login form via HTML.
- OAuth 2.0 — a protocol for authorization using tokens, often used for integration with external services.
- OpenID Connect — an extension over OAuth 2.0 for user authentication.
- JWT (JSON Web Tokens) — used for transmitting user information in the form of a token, often in REST APIs.
Spring Security provides built-in support for these protocols, allowing flexible configuration of application security.
