Abstract

Web applications have become an indispensable part of our routines, offering enhanced efficiency and effectiveness for individuals of all age groups. However, with this progress comes an increasing concern for security threats. Web applications using JWT as a security authentication should implemented appropriately. JWT, is an open standard facilitating the exchange of security-related data between a client and a server, which can be vulnerable to series of attacks Specifically, the JWT is explicitly placed within the Response Header, allowing a malicious user to steal the token and gain unauthorized access to the API.

The method implemented in this research paper is a combination of JWT and newly introduced tokenization method PASETO to improve the overall authentication process and prevent any type of tokenization-based attacks.
