Verify JWT Using HS256, HS384, or HS512

See more JSON Web Token (JWT) Examples

Demonstrates how to verify a JWT that was signed using HS256, HS384, or HS512. (HS256 is JWT's acronym for HMAC-SHA256.)

This example verifies the signature. It also does the following:

• Checks to see if the time constraints ("nbf" and "exp") are valid.
• Recovers the original JOSE header.
• Recovers the original claims JSON.
