SPIFFE JWT SVID

The SPIFFE JWT SVID standard defines a format for encoding SPIFFE identities as JSON Web Tokens. JWT-SVIDs are used in scenarios where X.509 certificates are not practical, such as HTTP header-based authentication between services or for passing identity across trust domain boundaries.
