Token-based Systems

Token-based systems refer to a type of authentication and authorization mechanism that uses tokens to grant access to resources or services. In these systems, a token is generated and assigned to a user upon successful authentication, which is then used to validate subsequent requests for accessing protected resources. This approach eliminates the need for storing sensitive user credentials on the server and provides a more secure and scalable solution for managing user access. Token-based systems are commonly used in web applications, APIs, and distributed systems to ensure secure and efficient communication between different components.
