Too Long; Didn't Read
JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JWT object. This information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed. JWTs are stateless, decentralized, support claims inside the token and they auto expire. But, they are also bulky, transparent and have a propensity for going stale. Reducing TTL, always create shortlived (30 mins) tokens.
