JWT Development Timeline
● 2010: The idea of JWT was conceived by Mike Jones. The need for a compact and
secure way to transmit information between parties led to the creation of JWT as an
alternative to earlier standards like SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language).
● 2011: The JWT format started to gain traction, and early discussions and drafts
emerged, leading to the creation of libraries and tools that implemented it.
● 2015: JWT was officially standardized with the publication of RFC 7519 by the IETF
Security Area. This RFC defines how JWTs should be structured, signed, and
validated, making it a formal and interoperable standard.
