JSON Web Signature (JWS)

JSON Web Signature (JWS) is a way to ensure that messages or data are sent securely and remain unchanged during transmission. It uses cryptographic techniques to create a digital signature. This signature is attached to the data, allowing the recipient to verify both the sender's identity and the integrity of the information. JWS is commonly used in web applications and APIs to protect sensitive data and ensure that it hasn't been tampered with, providing a layer of trust in digital communications.
