Description
## Description
Currently, the OAuth/OpenID Connect token validation process in the Janssen Auth Server could be optimized for better performance, especially when handling high-volume authentication requests.
## Problem Statement
When multiple clients make concurrent token validation requests, we observe:
- Increased response times
- Higher CPU utilization
- Potential bottlenecks in the token validation pipeline
## Proposed Solution
1. Implement token validation caching with appropriate TTL
2. Optimize cryptographic operations for signature verification
3. Add connection pooling for backend services
4. Implement concurrent request handling improvements
## Expected Benefits
- Reduced latency in token validation responses
- Better throughput for concurrent requests
- Improved overall system performance
- Enhanced scalability for enterprise deployments
## Additional Context
This improvement will help organizations running Janssen with high authentication volumes to achieve better performance metrics and user experience.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by examining the Janssen Auth Server token validation process and measuring its behavior under concurrent, high-volume authentication requests. Evaluate the proposed caching, cryptographic-operation, backend-connection, and concurrency areas; the work is done when latency, CPU utilization, throughput, and scalability improve without weakening token validation.
