JWT (JSON Web Token)
A signed token format used by web APIs to represent an authenticated identity.
Full definition
A JWT (JSON Web Token) is a compact, signed token format used by web APIs to represent an authenticated identity. The signature can be HMAC (symmetric) or RSA / ECDSA (asymmetric). Zaffre HRM uses RS256 (RSA 2048-bit, asymmetric) so the public key verifies and the private key signs — the private key is never transmitted.
