# JWT Token Authentication Demo

This project showcases the implementation of **JWT (JSON Web Token)** authentication in a .NET application, providing a secure and stateless way to manage user access and authorization.

## Features

- Demonstrates the generation and validation of JWT tokens.
- Includes user login and token issuance.
- Secures API endpoints using JWT-based authorization.
- Implements role-based access control for added security.

## Prerequisites

Before running this project, ensure you have the following installed:

- [.NET SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) (version 6.0 or later)
- A tool to test API requests (e.g., [Postman](https://www.postman.com/) or cURL)

## How It Works

1. **User Login:**
- The user sends their credentials (username and password) to the authentication endpoint.
- A JWT token is generated upon successful login and returned to the user.

2. **Securing Endpoints:**
- API endpoints are protected with JWT authorization.
- The token must be included in the `Authorization` header (`Bearer `) of each request.

3. **Token Validation:**
- The server validates the token's signature, expiration, and claims before granting access to protected resources.

## Getting Started

1. Clone this repository:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/JWTokenAuthDemo.git
cd JWTokenAuthDemo
