As you probably know two major areas of application security are “authentication” and “authorization” (or “access-control”). These are the two main areas that Spring Security targets.
Authentication: “Authentication” is the process of establishing a principal is who they claim to be (a “principal” generally means a user, device or some other system which can perform an action in your application).Authorization: “Authorization” refers to the process of deciding whether a principal is allowed to perform an action within your application.
