What IETF RFC 9068 - JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile for OAuth 2.0 Access Tokens: Self-Contained Token Standard requires
IETF RFC 9068 (October 2021) defines a standardized JSON Web Token (JWT) profile for OAuth 2.0 access tokens, specifying required claims (iss, exp, aud, sub, client_id, iat, jti), the at+JWT content type header, optional authorization claims (scope, groups, roles, entitlements, authorization_details), and resource server validation procedures; the profile enables self-contained access tokens that resource servers can validate locally using the authorization server's public key without calling the introspection endpoint on every request, reducing latency and improving resilience for distributed API architectures.
