nounmasculinepl: JWT tokens
token JWT
1. A JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. It is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a stateless, self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object.
The server validates the JWT token to authenticate the user's identity without maintaining session state on the server.
O servidor valida o token JWT para autenticar a identidade do usuário sem manter estado de sessão no servidor.
2. A digital credential encoded in three parts (header, payload, and signature) separated by dots, commonly used in modern web applications for stateless authentication and authorization.
Each JWT token contains encoded claims about the user and is signed with a secret key to prevent tampering.
Cada token JWT contém declarações codificadas sobre o usuário e é assinado com uma chave secreta para prevenir manipulação.
JWT tokens are fundamental to modern web development and API security practices globally. The term is used uniformly across English and Portuguese-speaking tech communities without significant localization, as it represents a standardized technical specification. In both Brazil and Portugal, software developers use 'token JWT' in professional contexts, documentation, and code repositories.
