HMAC / RSAUnderstanding JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
A JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. The token is composed of three base64url-encoded segments separated by dots: the Header (specifying algorithm and token type), the Payload (containing user claims and data), and the Signature (used to verify token integrity).
Inspection Guidelines
- Claim Validation: Automatically checks standard timestamps such as `exp` (expiration time) and `iat` (issued at) to verify session validity.
- Component Breakdown: Separates encoded segments for rapid analysis of permissions, user IDs, and signing algorithms.
Privacy & Security Note
All token decoding operations occur entirely client-side within your browser environment. No tokens, keys, or user payloads are transmitted or stored externally.
