OAuth 2.0 Concepts

Overview

JSON Web Token (JWT) is an encoding standard for tokens that contain a JSON data payload. The payload can be signed and encrypted.

JWT defines a compact and self-contained mechanism for transmitting data between parties in a way that can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed. Additionally, the encoding rules of a JWT also make these tokens very easy to use within the context of HTTP.

JSON Web Token is specified by RFC 7519.

There are a variety of open source libraries available online for creating and signing JWT tokens. See https://JWT.io for more information.
