Why 7516 is special

It is the counterpart to JWS, and the routine confusion between the two is why so many people believe a JWT is encrypted when it is merely signed.

In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

7 lotuses, 5 coils of rope, 1 hobble, 6 strokes

7 × 1,000 + 5 × 100 + 1 × 10 + 6 × 1 = 7,516. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

JWE encrypts and JWS only signs, and conflating the two is the most common misunderstanding about tokens.

Technology & computing

  • RFC 7516 specifies JWE for encrypted content in JSON. A standard JWT uses JWS and is therefore readable by anyone holding it, a distinction frequently misunderstood.
