Java: JWT Signatures
Answer
Prevents Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.
A CSRF token is used to protect against unauthorized commands sent from a user that the web application trusts. It is a unique, secret, and unpredictable string that is sent with each request. In Java, you might generate a CSRF token on the server-side and include it in forms submitted to the server, ensuring that requests come from a legitimate source.
