JWT Token
Definition.
JWT Token: JSON Web Token, an open, industry standard RFC 7519 method for representing claims securely between two parties.
In Practice
This is the default authentication mechanism I use between a Flutter mobile app and a Django REST Framework backend — a signed token the app stores securely and sends with each request, rather than re-authenticating on every call.
