Using JWTs and not sure what’s really going on under the hood?

This guide from Webdock walks through the structure, lifecycle and security of JWTs - and what you should really be paying attention to:
•Header · Payload · Signature - decoded, explained and tested.

•Why anyone can decode the payload, but only the signature guarantees it wasn’t tampered with.
•How to pick lifetimes, define custom claims without colliding with reserved names - and why that matters.
