JWT Validator

Verify HS256 and RS256 signatures and validate exp, nbf, aud and iss claims

Expected claims

Decode-only inspection: JWT Decoder · Sign test tokens: JWT Signer

About this tool

Decoding a JWT shows claims but does not prove the token is trustworthy. Signature verification confirms the issuer signed the token, and time claims (exp, nbf) plus aud/iss checks catch misconfiguration early.

Paste a token, supply HS256 secret or RS256 public key, and optionally validate audience and issuer. Results show per-claim badges alongside the payload JSON. Use with JWT Decoder for inspection.

How to use

  1. Paste JWT

    Paste the Bearer token or cookie value.

  2. Verify signature

    Enter HMAC secret or RSA public key PEM.

  3. Check claims

    Review exp, nbf, aud and iss validation badges.

Use cases

API integration tests

Confirm tokens from auth service match expected aud/iss before shipping.

Incident response

Verify whether a leaked token is still valid and correctly signed.
