Description: A Token Provider is a service that provides tokens for authentication and authorization in web applications. These tokens are strings of characters that allow users to access protected resources within an application. In the context of modern web development, a Token Provider integrates into the framework’s dependency injection system, making it easier to manage authentication and authorization efficiently and securely. Tokens are typically generated by an authentication server and may include information about the user as well as their access level. Implementing a Token Provider allows developers to handle authentication in a centralized manner, improving the scalability and maintainability of the application. Additionally, by using tokens, a stateless approach can be implemented, meaning the server does not need to store information about user sessions, reducing server load and improving performance. In summary, a Token Provider is an essential tool in the development of applications that require secure and efficient handling of user authentication and authorization.
