Creating a token profile

Use a JSON Web Token (JWT) to exchange information securely between two different parties. For example, a JWT can carry information about a user that can be used by another party to authenticate the identity of the user.

There are two purposes for token profiles: Generation and Processing. Each is a separate token profile.
