Hi,

Are there Delphi classes to help create a JSON Web Token ?
Or third party functions, etc?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

I need to encapsulate information (claims) in JSON format with encryption etc using this new "JSON Web Token" specification (uses JSON Web Signature)
here's a link:  http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token.html

Here's a more straightforward description: http://jwt.io  

It's then used in a VoIP (SIP) mobile client to communicate to a server.  The token is good for some default period of time. 
The purpose is to avoid having the mobile client contain the username/password for an HTTPS cloud service (Twilio).

This is new to me.

JSON itself has no concept of tokens, so what specific protocol you are actually 
trying to use that utilizes JSON for its data formatting?
