JWT Authentication

Reading Material & Notes

JWT Authentication

JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are commonly used to represent authentication information between a client and server.

Typical Flow

  1. User logs in.
  2. Backend validates credentials.
  3. Backend issues a token.
  4. Client sends the token with protected requests.
  5. Backend verifies the token.

Authentication design should also consider token storage, expiration, revocation and transport security.
