I have been considering this for some time.
<br>

<br>
I think there should be a new auth_jwt module, probably based on auth_ephemeral (which is similar in concept).  For SIP over WebSockets this can then be used to authenticate the client during the WebSocket handshake.
<br>

<br>
There should be a “Private Claim Name” defined to contain the identity of the calling/registering party.  This can be cached during the WebSocket handshake and then used to valid the To-URI (REGISTER/PUBLISH) and From-URI (other requests without To-tags).  The “Expiration Time Claim” should be cached too.
<br>

<br>
auth_jwt should contain helper functions for checking URIs and whether the token is still valid - similar to those in auth_ephemeral.
<br>

<br>
Regards,
<br>

&gt; &gt; It seems a good idea to support JWT as a new SIP authorization method. Wonder if anyone is interested? Think auth_db would be the best spot to add support for JWT. 
<br>
&gt; &gt; 
<br>
&gt; Please check the work that is ongoing with OAuth - there is an IETF draft on that.
