What makes JSON Web Tokens (JWT) secure?

Submitted Sep 3, 2018

Section: Full Talk Technical level: Intermediate

There’s a lot you have to think about when building frontend applications - routing, performance, animations, etc. Security often takes the back seat (not cool!)

Between cookies, tokens, keeping users authenticated, and handling resource access, security can become quite tricky. Let’s look at the implementation detail and usage of the popular methods of authorization: JWT(Json web tokens) and see what makes it secure in the first place?
