JSON Web Token (JWT, suggested pronunciation / dʒ ɒ t /, same as the word "jot" [1]) is a proposed Internet standard for creating data with optional signature and/or optional encryption whose payload holds JSON that asserts some number of claims.
Along with JSON Web Signature (JWS), it is one of the two possible formats of a JWT (JSON Web Token). JWE forms part of the JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) suite of protocols. [ 2 ]
JWS can be used for applications in which digitally signed information must be sent in a machine-readable format, such as e-commerce.For example, say a user named Bob is browsing widget prices on a web site (widgets.com), and wishes to get a quote on one of them.
Digest access authentication is one of the agreed-upon methods a web server can use to negotiate credentials, such as username or password, with a user's web browser.This can be used to confirm the identity of a user before sending sensitive information, such as online banking transaction history.
QR codes which contain binary data will sometimes store it encoded in Base64 rather than simply storing the raw binary data, as there is a stronger guarantee that all QR code readers will accurately decode text, as well as the fact that some devices will more readily save text from a QR code than potentially malicious binary data.
CBOR encoded data is seen as a stream of data items. Each data item consists of a header byte containing a 3-bit type and 5-bit short count. This is followed by an optional extended count (if the short count is in the range 24–27), and an optional payload.
A father-daughter duo has decoded an alien-like signal beamed from a spacecraft in 2023. Now, citizen scientists are trying to interpret the cosmic puzzle.
In public-key cryptography, a public key fingerprint is a short sequence of bytes used to identify a longer public key.Fingerprints are created by applying a cryptographic hash function to a public key.
