Dedicated Security Layer

In a microservices environment, every service shouldn't need to implement full authentication. This **Verification Service** acts as a central security authority.

Workflow

  1. A requesting service sends the incoming JWT/Bearer token to this service.
  2. The service checks the token's signature, expiration, and issuer.
  3. It returns a simple response containing the validated user ID and roles, or an error.

Built with **Spring Boot**, it's designed to be highly available and extremely fast, minimizing latency for the authentication step in the request lifecycle.
