Do You Know How to Validate JWTs with JWKS in Node.js?

Hey indiehackers,

I’m working on a project that uses JWTs for authentication and authorization, and I came across this article that explains how to validate JWTs with JWKS in Node.js: https://mojoauth.com/blog/jwt-validation-with-jwks-nodejs/

JWKS are JSON Web Key Sets, which are a set of public keys that can be used to verify the signatures of JWTs. The article shows how to use the node-jose library to generate and retrieve the keys, and how to use the jwt.verify() method to check the tokens.

I found this article very informative and helpful, and I wanted to share it with you. I also have some questions for the community:

  1. How do you handle JWT validation in your projects?
  2. What are the benefits and drawbacks of using JWKS for JWT validation?
  3. What are some best practices or tips for working with JWTs and JWKS?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic. Thanks for reading!
