                                                    A JSON Web Token is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object.
                                                

                                            

                                        

                                                                            

                                            

                                                
                                            

                                            

                                                

                                                    In its compact form, JSON Web Tokens consist of three parts separated by dots (.): Header, Payload, and Signature.
                                                

                                            

                                        

                                                                            

                                            

                                                
                                            

                                            

                                                

                                                    No. Everything happens client-side. The token is split and base64url decoded in your browser memory and never uploaded to our servers.
                                                

                                            

                                        

                                                                            

                                            

                                                
                                            

                                            

                                                

                                                    The "exp" (expiration time) claim identifies the expiration time on or after which the JWT must not be accepted for processing.

                                                    It is a variation of base64 encoding that is safe for URLs and filenames, substituting + and / with - and _.
                                                

                                            

                                        

                                                                            

                                            

                                                
                                            

                                            

                                                

                                                    Signing guarantees the integrity and authenticity of the payload data, while encryption hides the payload from third parties.
                                                

                                            

                                        

                                                                            

                                            

                                                
                                            

                                            

                                                

                                                    The signature is calculated by hashing the encoded header and payload with a secret key or public/private key pair, validating that the sender is who they claim to be.
