How does Spring Security handle JWT processing?

Answer
Through a filter that intercepts requests.
Spring Security uses a filter chain to process incoming requests, where a specific filter can be configured to handle JWT authentication. This filter extracts the JWT from headers, verifies it, and then allows or denies access based on the token's validity. For instance, a `JwtAuthenticationFilter` might be added to the security configuration in a Java application.
