If you use Spring Boot 2.0.0.RELEASE:

    org.springframework.boot
    spring-boot-starter-parent
    2.0.0.RELEASE
     

you need just the following dependencies:

    org.springframework.boot
    spring-boot-starter-security


    org.thymeleaf.extras
    thymeleaf-extras-springsecurity4

Version of thymeleaf-extras-springsecurity4 will be inherited from the spring-boot-starter-parent and would be 3.0.2.RELEASE.

Thanks to @yglodt for pointing this out.
