Watch this video:

JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) (YouTube Links to an external site.)
- code Links to an external site.

Update the latest class code so that a JWT is returned when a user signs in, and that token is passed to the server on subsequent calls. On the server side, authenticate + authorize users using the JWT, not PHP sessions.

Remember, to get credit for the homework, you don't have to have solutions that are 100% complete and working; I want to see that you made an effort to get them working so you can ask informed questions in class and so that when we go over and extend the homework in class, you have some working context for what we're doing.

Commit your two PHP files in a folder homework/hw16/ in your CSC302 git repo and push to GitHub. Submit a link to your the hw16 folder on GitHub to this Canvas assignment.
