Verify JWT Using an ECC Public Key (ES256, ES384, ES512)

See more JSON Web Token (JWT) Examples

Demonstrates how to verify a JWT that was signed using an ECC private key.

This example verifies the ECC signature. It also does the following:

• Checks to see if the time constraints ("nbf" and "exp") are valid.
• Recovers the original JOSE header.
• Recovers the original claims JSON.
