Topic for this post will be JSON Web Token. JSON Web Token is an open standard, under RFC 7519, that is defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. JSON Web Token is an internet standard for creating data with optional signature and/or optional encryption whose payload holds JSON that asserts some number of claims. This information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed. The tokens are signed either using public or a private key. Below are links, with information how to work with JSON Web Token, for a Drupal website.
First link is to a blog by “Media Current” website, titled “Using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to Authenticate Requests to REST Resources in Drupal 8.” It go's through the steps of setting up JSON Web Token on a Drupal 8 website, to authenticate some core REST resources.
