In my articles about Spring Boot Security and LDAP authentication, we implemented JWT as a user information carrier between client and server. You can access those articles from here and here. In this article, we will dig into another concept, usage of JWT securely in a Spring Boot application.
JWT (JSON Web Token) is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. This information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed. You may get detailed information from its official website.
