# 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](/v3.0-1/the-components/signed-tokens-jws/signature-algorithms.md) to know what algorithms are available.

Then, you will find an [example to create a signed token here](/v3.0-1/the-components/signed-tokens-jws/jws-creation.md) and another [example to load and verify](/v3.0-1/the-components/signed-tokens-jws/jws-loading.md) incoming tokens.
