## Description

This project is an authentication and authorization platform built on the Spring framework that functions as a centralized identity provider and authorization server. It manages user identities and protects resources by implementing standardized protocols to verify credentials and issue secure tokens for web applications.

The platform distinguishes itself by providing a comprehensive framework for managing complex authorization flows and identity verification. It supports dynamic client registration to automate the onboarding of third-party applications and utilizes relational database persistence to maintain state consistency for tokens and authorization grants across distributed server instances.

The system covers a broad range of security capabilities, including the management of user permissions and the enforcement of access controls for protected APIs and data resources. It handles the serialization of identity and authorization claims into cryptographically signed tokens to facilitate secure communication between decoupled services.
