Why JWTs?
To facilitate short-lived, rotatable credentials for use in untrusted environments, FreeClimb utilizes JSON Web Tokens, or JWTs. Using a JWT allows you to provision a token that has a bounded lifetime and limited number of uses, so if a bad actor compromises the token, the blast radius is minimized.
