Klee Thomas - Tokens, tokens everywhere: a deep dive into JWT

This month, we have Newcastle local Klee Thomas telling us all we need to know about JWT (JSON Web Tokens).

JWT have become ubiquitous and are a part of every web developers life. We use them everyday to authenticate ourselves, to authenticate our users and to authenticate services. That said how much do you know about JWT? Are they different from a JWE, JWS, JOSE? Are they encrypted or just encoded? Can you actually trust them? What are the risks we take on when using them?

Join Klee as he sheds light on the internals of JWT and helps you make sure that you’re building systems that are secure for your users.
