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.
Digest access authentication is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. For example, a MITM attacker could tell clients to use basic access authentication or legacy RFC2069 digest access authentication mode. To extend this further, digest access authentication provides no mechanism for clients to verify the server's identity
For example, for encryption JSON Web Encryption (JWE) [4] is supposed to be used in conjunction. As of 2015, JWS was a proposed standard, and was part of several other IETF proposed standards, [ 5 ] and there was code available on the web to implement the proposed standard.
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 ]
These permissions can usually be adjusted only after authenticating with the password. This can be a useful form of delegation of authorization, for example, when creating programs that will access the remote system. The PAT will typically be stored in a location accessible to the program, and therefore not typically as secure as a password.
Express.js, or simply Express, is a back end web application framework for building RESTful APIs with Node.js, released as free and open-source software under the MIT License. It is designed for building web applications and APIs. [2] It has been called the de facto standard server framework for Node.js. [3]
JWT may refer to: JSON Web Token, a metadata standard; JWt (Java web toolkit), a software library; J. Walter Thompson, an advertising agency; See also:
A well-known example of a memorized secret is the common password, also called a passcode, a passphrase, or a personal identification number (PIN). An authenticator secret known to both the claimant and the verifier is called a shared secret. For example, a memorized secret may or may not be shared. A symmetric key is shared by definition.
