Technical Audit

This utility is a high-performance node optimized for modern browser environments. All data processing is executed client-side, ensuring zero knowledge transfer to external servers.

Dual-Mode Protocol: Seamlessly switch between JWT Generation (Encoding) and Debugging (Decoding).
Synchronized HMAC Secret: Integrated secret key management across both encoder and decoder modules.
Dynamic Expiry Engine: One-click injection of 'exp' claims for 1h, 24h, and 7d durations.
Zero-Knowledge Architecture: All cryptographic operations are performed client-side using CryptoJS.
Base64URL Compliant: Automatic handling of URL-safe character replacement (+/-, /_).
Syntax-Aware UI: Beautifully formatted JSON views for Header and Payload claims.

System FAQ

Does this tool send my signing secret to any server?

Absolutely not. The Sovereign JWT Forge uses the browser's local processing power. Your secret keys and tokens never leave your machine, providing a secure alternative to cloud-based debuggers.

How does the 'Add Expiry' feature work?

It captures the current UNIX timestamp and adds the selected duration (in seconds) to create an 'exp' claim. This is essential for testing token expiration logic in your backend.

What is the difference between Base64 and Base64URL used here?

Standard Base64 contains characters like '+' and '/' which break URLs. This tool automatically converts them to '-' and '_' respectively and removes padding (=) to be fully JWT compliant.

Can I verify tokens generated by other libraries like jsonwebtoken (Node.js)?

Yes. As long as the token uses the HS256 (HMAC SHA256) algorithm and you provide the correct secret key, the verification engine will validate the signature accurately.
