![]() JWTs consist of three Base64-URL-encoded strings separated by dots: Signature gets calculated with the header and the payload. Also, the integrity of the content can be verified as the Since they use digital signatures, the transmitted data can be verified and trusted in terms of Most typical usage scenarios for JWT are the following:Īuthorization: JWTs can be used to authorize client applications before they request access tokensĬlient authentication: To access specific resources, the client application authenticates itselfĭata transmission: JWTs can be used for safe and secure information exchange between two parties. JWT support authentication for applications that try to access particular resources. Cloudentity returns the JWT access token, which can be used by the client applications to make calls Tokens when it’s requested by the client application on behalf of the user. Plaintext claims in the non-encrypted payload are easily verifiable but also less secure when anĬloudentity uses the JWT format to generate access Payload difficult to penetrate and claims secure against being compromised. Optionally, JWTs can be also encrypted as specified by JSON WebĮncryption (JWE). When Cloudentity receives the JWT, it is able to verify the signature using the public keyĮach JWT needs to be signed in accordance with JSON Web The public key is registered within Cloudentity. Sent from the client application to the authorization endpoint, the client application signs JWT That could create the signature is Cloudentity, which proves the legitimacy of ![]() ![]() Since the digital signature uses the private key of Cloudentity, the only party Signed by Cloudentity by using the public key of Cloudentity. The client application gets the JWT from Cloudentity, it can verify if the JWT is To create a digital signature, Cloudentity signs JWT with its private key. (with the HMAC algorithm) or a public/private key pair (with RSA or ECDSA). JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard that provides a secure way for authenticating data ownersĪnd transmitting information between parties using the JSON format. ![]()
