⚠️ For testing only - not cryptographically signedUnderstanding JWTs
Structure: JWTs consist of three Base64URL-encoded parts separated by dots: header.payload.signature
Header: Contains metadata about the token, typically the signing algorithm (alg) and token type (typ)
Payload: Contains claims - statements about an entity and additional data
Signature: Ensures the token hasn't been tampered with (requires secret key to verify)
