feat: Agent Authentication with JSON Web Token (JWT)

[KulkarniShashank]

What

• Implementing agent authentication using JSON Web Token (JWT) to enhance security and verify the identity of agents accessing the system.

Why

• Security Enhancement: Introducing JWT for agent authentication adds an extra layer of security to the system, ensuring that only authorized agents can access sensitive functionalities.

• Token-based Authorization: JWT allows for efficient token-based authorization, reducing the reliance on traditional session-based approaches and providing a more scalable solution.

How

• Token Generation: Implement a mechanism for generating JWTs upon successful agent authentication, including necessary claims and signatures to ensure token integrity.

• Token Verification: Develop a robust token verification process to validate the authenticity and integrity of incoming JWTs, ensuring that only valid tokens are accepted.

• Integration with Authentication Flow: Integrate JWT-based authentication seamlessly into the existing agent authentication flow, ensuring a smooth transition for users and minimal disruption to the system.
