JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. It is a common mechanism for securing RESTful web APIs. It grants developers the ability to authenticate and authorize users to access their APIs.
We will focus on sharing the fundamental concepts of web security and a practical way of using JWT for authentication and authorization. We will share how to implement secure RESTful APIs that use JWT and how JWT enhances the security of web applications.
