Creating Signed JWTs (JWS) with Node.JS (1 mins read).
How to use the jsonwebtoken library to create a Signed JSON Web Token (JWS) with Node.JS.
Happy #HomebrewWebsiteClub from all of us in Nottingham - thanks to Lewis for taking the photo https://events.indieweb.org/2020/02/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-tkC9vJmpYDW1
Currently, the format of the tokens provided by IndieAuth.com is a signed JWT (JWS) using HS256.
If we were to update this to be RS256, we could allow clients to treat it as a JWS, not an opaque token that needs to be introspected by the token endpoint.
This could allow clients validating tokens as such to do so much more easily, locally, while reducing load on the token endpoint.
Because token revocation is not widespread at this point, it would enable clients to not need to introspect unnecessarily.
