ID Token Verification

ID Token Verification is the validation process through which the client application confirms that the identity token can be trusted.

Definition

ID Token Verification is the step in which the client application checks that the received ID token is valid and suitable for establishing a user session. Its purpose is to ensure that the identity information used to authenticate the user actually comes from the trusted authorization server.

The Ariovis perspective

Tokens are part of an access architecture, not a substitute for identity governance or authorization. Their scope, lifetime, validation and revocation must match the risk of the API and user journey.
