JSON Web Token (JWT)
JOSE JWT, JWS & JWE
In today’s digital landscape, safeguarding the security of user data and the integrity of information is essential. JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are a sophisticated technique that has garnered great interest in the world of web application security. But what exactly is JWT security, and when should it be used? The following articles look at best practices for developing access management procedures leveraging standards from the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) family like JWS and JWE and outline common use cases.
