Claims constitute the payload part of a JSON web token and represent a set of information exchanged between two parties . The JWT standard distinguishes between reserved claims, public claims, and private claims. In API Gateway context, both public claims and private claims are considered custom claims.

There are two parties involved in an access token request: the client, who requests the token, and the resource (the API) that accepts the token when the API is called. The aud claim in a token indicates the resource the token is intended for (its audience) .

JWT, or JSON Web Token, is an open standard used to share security information between two parties — a client and a server . Each JWT contains encoded JSON objects, including a set of claims. JWTs are signed using a cryptographic algorithm to ensure that the claims cannot be altered after the token is issued.
