Spring Security

Spring Security is primarily used for authentication and authorization in web applications, securing the HTTP protocol. In Spring Boot, it can be enabled by adding the 'spring-boot-starter-security' dependency and customized by extending the 'WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter'. Basic Authentication uses Base64-encoded credentials and is considered weak security unless used with HTTPS.
