JWT Token Explained in Depth | Header, Payload, Signature | HS256 | .NET & Web API Interview Guide

In this video, I explain JWT (JSON Web Token) in a very clear and practical way —
covering Header, Payload, Signature, Base64URL encoding, HS256 signing, and how
JWT is validated on the server.

This video is especially useful for:
✔ .NET / ASP.NET Core developers
✔ Web API & backend developers
✔ Interview preparation (JWT, Authentication, Authorization)
✔ Anyone confused about JWT security

Topics covered:
What is JWT and why it is used
JWT structure: Header, Payload, Signature
Base64URL encoding vs encryption
How HS256 signature is created
How server validates JWT
Authentication vs Authorization using claims
Common JWT misconceptions (very important for interviews)

⚠️ Important Note:
JWT payload is NOT encrypted — it is only Base64 encoded.
Security comes from the signature, not secrecy.
