2$\begingroup$ FYI, the draft spec says that HMAC SHA-256 MUST be implemented while ECDSA (or RSA) MAY be implemented. Just wanted to point that out. Poncho's answer is spot on. $\endgroup$mikeazo– mikeazo2015-11-18 19:23:56 +00:00Commented Nov 18, 2015 at 19:23

$\begingroup$ I think "implemented" is a qualifier for libraries/providers, but "implemented on your website" could mean something closer to configuration, where you may want to use one and only one. Best to be stringent to avoid JWT security holes: mixing symmetric (HMAC) and asymmetric (RSA/ECDSA) algos in your composed auth implementation is bound for disastertown. $\endgroup$Nick T– Nick T2020-05-26 19:20:42 +00:00Commented May 26, 2020 at 19:20

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. public-key), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
