OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect Enhancements - Version 1.1.0 Beta 4

Introducing further enhancements to the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect implementation, focusing on security improvements, codebase optimizations, and support for modern asynchronous programming patterns.

🛠 Fixes and Enhancements

• Updated the representation of token string in JWTs to jti, aligning with JWT standards.
• Enhanced access token generation logic in RefreshTokenHandler for improved security and efficiency.
• Expanded the userinfo endpoint functionality for better compliance with OpenID Connect specifications.
• Optimized UserInfoHandler to utilize sub instead of userID, ensuring alignment with OpenID Connect.
• Improved JWT signing process with the addition of private key identifier and updated private key retrieval mechanisms.
• Refactored OAuthUser class and related models to enhance code structure and remove deprecated protocols.
• Introduced new authorization error types and updated client validation logic for more robust error handling.
• Overhauled authorization code generation to include nonce parameter, significantly enhancing security against replay attacks.
• Updated Vapor framework dependency to the latest version, benefiting from performance and security improvements.
• Refined scope validation in token handlers and client validator for more precise access control.
• Transitioned OAuth models from classes to structs for better performance and safety.
• Updated DiscoveryDocument protocol, making certain properties optional to support more flexible configurations.
• Enhanced user information handling with the addition of an environment parameter and Address struct, improving user data management.
• Implemented key rotation and deletion methods in KeyManagementService, bolstering key management security.
• Updated KeyManagementService protocol to support storing different types of keys, enhancing flexibility and security.
• Integrated async/await programming model across key management and token generation processes, aligning with modern Swift concurrency patterns.
• Revised scopes property definition in AccessToken and RefreshToken, optimizing for better type safety and clarity.
