What is JWS?
JWS (JSON Web Signature) is a means of digitally signing JSON content. It uses a compact, URL-safe representation of claims and cryptographic information, making it suitable for transmitting signed data over the web. It is commonly used to verify the integrity and authenticity of data transmitted in JSON format, such as in API security (e.g., signing requests or JWTs), data integrity checks, and ensuring non-repudiation.
