Understanding JSON Web Tokens (JWT) Structure and Security

Key Takeaways

  • JWTs consist of three Base64url-encoded parts: header, payload, and signature — the payload is readable by anyone, not encrypted.
  • Never store sensitive data in JWT payloads — they can be decoded without the secret key. JWTs provide integrity, not confidentiality.
  • All JWT decoding happens in your browser — your tokens are never sent to any external server.

JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are the de facto standard for stateless authentication in modern web applications. They carry claims about a user between services without requiring server-side session storage. Understanding JWT structure is essential for debugging authentication flows, verifying token contents, and identifying security issues.

JWTs are used by over 80% of modern web APIs for authentication and authorization.

Industry Adoption

Key Concepts

1

Three-Part Structure

A JWT has three Base64url-encoded sections separated by dots: the header (algorithm and type), the payload (claims like user ID, expiration), and the signature (cryptographic proof of integrity).

2

Registered Claims

Standard claims include iss (issuer), sub (subject), aud (audience), exp (expiration), nbf (not before), iat (issued at), and jti (JWT ID). These provide interoperable token metadata.

3

Signature Algorithms

HS256 uses a shared secret (symmetric), while RS256 uses RSA key pairs (asymmetric). RS256 is preferred for distributed systems where the verifier should not have the signing key.

4

Security Considerations

Common JWT vulnerabilities include: accepting 'none' algorithm, using weak secrets, not validating expiration, and confusing HS256/RS256 algorithms. Always validate all claims on the server.

Pro Tips

Always check the 'exp' claim — expired tokens should be rejected. Set short expiration times (15–60 minutes) for access tokens.

Use the 'aud' claim to ensure tokens are only accepted by intended services — this prevents token misuse across services.

Store JWTs in httpOnly cookies rather than localStorage to protect against XSS attacks.

Implement token refresh flows with longer-lived refresh tokens stored securely, rather than issuing long-lived access tokens.

All JWT decoding is performed entirely in your browser. Your tokens, which may contain user identity information and authentication claims, are never transmitted to any server. Note: this tool decodes tokens but does not verify signatures.
