Answer
Consider token expiration, secure storage, and encryption of sensitive claims.
When using JWTs in a high-security application, it's crucial to set appropriate expiration times to limit the window of token validity. Tokens should be stored securely, using HTTPS to prevent interception. Sensitive data in the payload should be encrypted to protect user information. In Java, libraries like JJWT can be used to sign and encrypt JWTs, adding layers of security to the token handling process.
