Spring Security is a powerful and highly customizable authentication and access-control framework. It is the de-facto standard for securing Spring-based applications. Spring Security is a framework that focuses on providing both authentication and authorization to Java applications. Like all Spring projects, the real power of Spring Security is found in how easily it can be extended to meet custom requirements. Spring Security uses a Gradle-based build system. In the instructions, ./gradlew is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build. Be sure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the jdk-11 folder extracted from the JDK download.
Features
- Comprehensive and extensible support for both Authentication and Authorization
- Protection against attacks like session fixation
- Protection against clickjacking, cross site request forgery, etc.
- Servlet API integration
- Optional integration with Spring Web MVC
