Spring Security 6: Eksiksiz JWT Kimlik Doğrulaması

// Conceptual representation of the authentication flow
public class JwtAuthenticationFlow {

    // 1. Initial authentication: POST /api/auth/login
    // → Verify credentials against database
    // → Generate signed JWT token
    // → Return token to client

    // 2. Authenticated requests: GET /api/protected
    // → Header: Authorization: Bearer <token>
    // → Extract and validate token
    // → Create SecurityContext
    // → Access protected resource
