JWT authorization grants may be used with or without client authentication or identification. Client authentication using a JWT is nothing more than an alternative way for a client to authenticate to the token endpoint and must be used in conjunction with some grant type to form a complete and meaningful protocol request. They can be used either in combination or separately. The use of a security token for client authentication is orthogonal to and separable from using a security token as an authorization grant. It also defines how a JWT can be used as a client authentication mechanism. This document defines how a JWT Bearer Token can be used to request an access token when a client wishes to utilize an existing trust relationship, expressed through the semantics of the JWT, without a direct user-approval step at the authorization server. JWTs, for example, have no direct equivalent to the or elements of SAML Assertions. The differences arise where the structure and semantics of JWTs differ from SAML Assertions. The format and processing rules for the JWT defined in this specification are intentionally similar, though not identical, to those in the closely related specification "Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 Profile for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants". This specification profiles the OAuth Assertion Framework to define an extension grant type that uses a JWT Bearer Token to request an OAuth 2.0 access token as well as for use as client credentials. security tokens) as client credentials and/or authorization grants with OAuth 2.0. "Assertion Framework for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants" is an abstract extension to OAuth 2.0 that provides a general framework for the use of assertions (a.k.a. Finally, OAuth allows the definition of additional authentication mechanisms to be used by clients when interacting with the authorization server. OAuth also allows for the definition of new extension grant types to support additional clients or to provide a bridge between OAuth and other trust frameworks. Several authorization grant types are defined to support a wide range of client types and user experiences. An authorization grant is used by the client to obtain an access token. In OAuth, an authorization grant is an abstract term used to describe intermediate credentials that represent the resource owner authorization.

Access tokens are issued to third-party clients by an authorization server (AS) with the (sometimes implicit) approval of the resource owner. The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework provides a method for making authenticated HTTP requests to a resource using an access token. A security token is generally issued by an Identity Provider and consumed by a Relying Party that relies on its content to identify the token's subject for security-related purposes. JSON Web Token (JWT) is a JSON-based security token encoding that enables identity and security information to be shared across security domains.
