JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) explained with examples | System Design

In this 10-minute video, I will explain what JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are and how they work. I will also discuss the benefits of using JWTs, and how they can be used in distributed systems and microservices architecture.

Here are some of the key points that I will cover in the video:

What is a JSON Web Token (JWT)?
How do JWTs work?
What are the benefits of using JWTs?
How can JWTs be used in distributed systems and microservices architecture?
I will also provide some examples of how JWTs can be used in real-world applications.

In a system design interview, you may be asked to design a system that uses JWTs for authentication and authorization. You may also be asked to explain the benefits of using JWTs in distributed systems and microservices architecture.

If you are able to answer these questions in a clear and concise way, you will demonstrate your knowledge of JWTs and your ability to use them in system design.

If you are interested in learning more about JWTs, I encourage you to watch this video.

8:56 why do you use algorithm HS256 to encode header and payload? not use base64 as usual?

Assuming backend just accept request that contain token. How can handle returned token from backend to use in all request of frontend(javaFX) that send to backend?
My problem is handling token in frontend.

Can someone (other websites/embedded script) steal JWT token from the browser and use it on my behalf? If so, how can that be prevented?

I could hardly understand a word of it...

You need a or a better mic. You might think it sounds good but it don't sound professional.
