Using Azure Key Vault for signing and encrypting JSON Web Tokens

This technical article details the process of using Azure Key Vault to sign and encrypt JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) using keys and certificates.

The guide includes practical examples using AZ CLI for key creation and setting up automated key rotation policies.
