Here’s Why We Use JWTs (JSON Web Tokens) — Authentication & Authorization

#JWT, or #JSON Web Tokens, are an open industry standard for authentication and authorization used in many web applications today. JWT are particularly employed in securing web services and distributed microservices.

Where older authentication and authorization technologies relied on centralized session storage, JWT is decentralized and more secure. It uses cryptography and signed tokens in order to validate users of an app, and it’s these innovations that have made it revolutionary in the space of web app security.

In this video, Abhay Bhargav explains what JSON Web Tokens are, how JWT works, and how they’re being used to power enterprise applications across the globe.

AppSecEngineer has an upcoming course where you can learn about #JSON WebTokens in much greater detail. To know more, check out the Advanced Application Security Learning Path on our website: https://appsecengineer.com/advanced-application-security/
