# Signed Tokens (JWS)

To use the signed tokens (JWS), you have to install the [`web-token/jwt-signature` component](https://github.com/web-token/jwt-signature).

```bash
composer require web-token/jwt-signature
```

This component provides lot of signature algorithms and classes to load and create signed tokens.

Please refer to [this signature algorithm table](https://web-token.spomky-labs.com/2.x/the-components/signed-tokens-jws/signature-algorithms) to know what algorithms are available.

Then, you will find an [example to create a signed token here](https://web-token.spomky-labs.com/2.x/the-components/signed-tokens-jws/jws-creation) and another [example to load and verify](https://web-token.spomky-labs.com/2.x/the-components/signed-tokens-jws/jws-loading) incoming tokens.
