It is implemented using servlet filters in the background.  There are two ways to secure spring webapps-  Declarative Security  Programmatic Security  In Declarative Security we define application security constraints in configuration I.e., all java config (@Configuration, no XML) or spring XML config. It provides separation of concerns between application code and security.     In programmatic Security spring security provides an api for custom application coding and it provides greater customization for specific application requirements.    CSRF (Cross-site-request-forgery) protection Spring security protects against CSRF(Cross-site-request-forgery).
