Security decisions
Regterschot indicated at the beginning of the project that for security we only do the much needed security. Because of this we have chosen to hash the password, we do this because it is legally required and otherwise high fines can come from it.
In addition, we have chosen to use a Json Web Token. We do this to ensure that unwanted people cannot make calls to the API and only retrieve the data through the Web application.
