About JWT Tokens

JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims between two parties. A JWT consists of three parts separated by dots:

  • Header — Contains the token type and signing algorithm
  • Payload — Contains the claims (user data and metadata)
  • Signature — Verifies the token hasn't been tampered with

Common Claims:

  • iss — Issuer of the token
  • sub — Subject (usually user ID)
  • aud — Audience (intended recipient)
  • exp — Expiration time (Unix timestamp)
  • iat — Issued at time (Unix timestamp)
  • nbf — Not valid before time

Privacy & Limitations

  • All calculations run entirely in your browser -- nothing is sent to any server.
  • Results are computed locally and should be verified for critical applications.
