Answer
It includes filters that authenticate requests using JWTs.
In Spring Security, filters are configured to intercept requests and authenticate them using JWTs. The chain processes requests sequentially, allowing JWT filters to verify tokens before accessing protected resources. For example, a `JwtAuthenticationFilter` might extract the JWT from the Authorization header and validate it, allowing or denying access based on its claims.
