JWS JSON Serialization

JWS (JSON Web Signature) JSON Serialization is a method for securely encoding data as a compact, standardized string. It combines the actual information with a digital signature, ensuring the data's integrity and authenticity. The JSON Serialization format structures this information into three parts within a JSON object: the original message (payload), the signature, and optional protection headers. This format makes it easy to transmit and verify the data across different systems while maintaining security—like sending a signed, coded letter that only the intended recipient can verify as genuine.
