User requested documentation explaining how authentication works in this FastAPI project.

Changes

  • Added DOCS/AUTHENTICATION.MD - Comprehensive guide covering:

    • JWT token lifecycle (generation, validation, expiration)
    • BCrypt password hashing implementation
    • OAuth2 password flow endpoints
    • Integration with RBAC authorization system
    • Security configuration (secret keys, token expiration)
    • Code examples in cURL, Python, JavaScript
    • Architecture overview (router → controller → security utilities)
  • Updated README.MD - Added reference to authentication documentation in technical docs section

Key Implementation Details

The authentication system uses:

  • python-jose for JWT encoding/decoding with HS256
  • bcrypt for password hashing with automatic salting
  • FastAPI's OAuth2PasswordBearer dependency for token extraction
  • 30-minute default token expiration (configurable)

Token payload structure:

{
  "sub": "username",
  "exp": 1234567890,
  "iat": 1234567890,
  "nbf": 1234567890,
  "iss": "FA-Backend"
}

Documentation written in Portuguese to match existing project docs.
