WT* is JWT?
summary
Explains that JWT commonly equals JWS (signed token) and shows RSA key math, cites key sizes from 1024 to 4000 bit keys, and describes claims (registered, public, private). Demonstrates two real uses: replacing per-request auth lookups in microservices and letting a CDN or load balancer offload verification to CDN via Akamai API Gateway, and details JWKS key rotation to revoke compromised keys so tokens fail fast.
