JWT, or JSON Web Token, is an open standard used to share security information between two parties — a client and a server. Each JWT contains encoded JSON objects, including a set of claims. JWTs are signed using a cryptographic algorithm to ensure that the claims cannot be altered after the token is issued.
How are JWT secure?
There are two critical steps in using JWT securely in a web application: 1) send them over an encrypted channel, and 2) verify the signature immediately upon receiving it. The asymmetric nature of public key cryptography makes JWT signature verification possible.
What protection does JWT use?
A self-contained token comes in the form of a JWT. It contains all the metadata as the payload. To protect the data, the issuer signs the token using a private key. Traditional OAuth 2.0 tokens are bearer tokens.
