Applies To:
HTTP LargeThis platform has been optimized to cache and deliver static content (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ISO, multimedia, and software downloads, etc.) over HTTP or HTTPS.
HTTP SmallLegacy. If you are currently serving traffic over this platform, then you may continue to do so. However, we recommend that you serve your traffic over our more robust HTTP Large platform.
ADNThe Application Delivery Network platform has been optimized to deliver dynamic content (e.g., login credentials, account information, etc.) over HTTP or HTTPS. Typically, user-specific and database-driven content are served over this platform.
TBAThe Token-Based Authentication feature enforces authentication prior to content delivery. Authentication takes place via an encoded token value that must be included in the request URL. This token value is then decrypted on an edge server. The requested content will only be delivered when the user meets the requirement(s) defined in the token.
You should upgrade to Token-Based Authentication 3.0.

If you know the exact encryption key that was used for a particular token, then you can decrypt it. Decrypting an existing token allows you to view its requirements. If you suspect that a particular client is having trouble viewing your content, you can decrypt his/her token to discover which requirement is not being met.
A token value can be decrypted using any of the following:
- Decrypt Tool (Token Auth page)
-
Token Generator
Syntax:
ectoken3 decrypt KeyNameReplace this term with the encryption key used to generate the token value. TokenReplace this term with the token value that you would like to decrypt.
-
Custom token generator
Leverage our open-source repository to create a custom application to decrypt token values. This repository, which is hosted on GitHub, contains C, C++, C#, PHP, Perl, and Python source code.
This repository is located at:
https://github.com/Edgecast/ectoken
To decrypt a token using the Decrypt tool
- Navigate to the Decrypt Tool section of the Token Auth page.
- In the Token To Decrypt option, paste the desired token value.
- In the Key to Decrypt option, select the encryption key used to generate that token value.
- Click Decrypt. The requirements for that token will appear next to the Original Parameters label.
The Decrypt tool will not be able to decrypt tokens generated with an old encryption key. Use the Token Generation executable to decrypt these types of token values.
To decrypt a token using the Token Generator executable
- Download the Token Generator application.
- Extract the Windows or Linux version to a local drive.
- Open the command line.
- WindowsWindows Key + R, CMD
- LinuxOpen a terminal window.
- Navigate to the directory where the Token Generator executable is located.
- Issue the following command:
ectoken3 decrypt KeyName Replace this term with the encryption key used to generate the token value. TokenReplace this term with the token value that you would like to decrypt.

FAQs
import { decode } from 'next-auth/jwt'; Here's an example. There is a built-in helper method getToken() for doing that : For convenience, this helper function is also able to read and decode tokens passed from the Authorization: 'Bearer token' HTTP header.
Can you decode a JWT token? ›
JSON web token (JWT) is a secure means of representing claims transferred between two parties, often a client and server. Claims are encoded as a JSON object containing a set of claims and a signature. It can be decoded in Python using multiple libraries, including python-jose and PyJWT .
What are the two keys to decrypt? ›
Asymmetric cryptography, also known as public key cryptography, is a process that uses a pair of related keys -- one public key and one private key -- to encrypt and decrypt a message and protect it from unauthorized access or use.
How do I decrypt encryption? ›
Right-click on the encrypted file or folder and select “Properties.” In the “Properties” window, navigate to the “General” tab. Locate the “Encrypt contents to secure data” option. Uncheck this option to initiate the decryption process.
Can JWT tokens be encrypted? ›
Although JWTs can be encrypted to also provide secrecy between parties, we will focus on signed tokens.
Is JWT token hackable? ›
It is used literally everywhere: from sessions to token-based authentication in OAuth, to custom authentication of all shapes and forms. There is actually a pretty good reason for this wide adoption and that is, for the most part, security and resilience. However, just like any technology, JWT is not immune to hacking.
Can we decode a refresh token? ›
@bsrour You don't “decode” a refresh token. Refresh tokens are just strings. You use refresh tokens to extend the lifetime of an OAuth access token. If either the access token or refresh token have expired, then the user will need to authorise your application again.
Can I decrypt without key? ›
Well the whole point of encryption is that a message cannot be decrypted without the correct key. So if you are using a correctly implemented encryption system with the recommended key length, you can't.
What is the hardest encryption to decrypt? ›
AES 256-bit encryption is the strongest and most robust encryption standard that is commercially available today. While it is theoretically true that AES 256-bit encryption is harder to crack than AES 128-bit encryption, AES 128-bit encryption has never been cracked.
What key is needed to decrypt? ›
Anyone can encrypt a message by using your public key, but only you can read it. When you receive the message, you decrypt it by using your private key. Similarly, you can encrypt a message for anyone else by using their public key, and they decrypt it by using their private key.
This looks like an opaque access token - If you need to decode it at all, you'll need to include an audience param when constructing the /authorize request. It depends on how you are initiating authorization, but the audience is typically set when configuring Auth0 - For example AuthorizationParams in auth0-react.
How to decrypt public key? ›
Data encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted with the private key. Because of this use of two keys instead of one, public key cryptography is also known as asymmetric cryptography.
