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
- A requesting service sends the incoming JWT/Bearer token to this service.
- The service checks the token's signature, expiration, and issuer.
- 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.
