Does this verify the JWT signature?

No. This is a decoder only. Signature verification requires the secret key or public key and should be done server-side.

Is my token sent to a server?

No. Decoding happens entirely in your browser. Your token never leaves your device.

Header (algorithm & type), Payload (claims/data), and Signature (verification hash). Each part is Base64URL-encoded and separated by dots.

The expiration time as a Unix timestamp (seconds since Jan 1, 1970). After this time, the token should be considered invalid.
