Using Token in a WCF

[Luis M Rojas]

Hello, I am new using a token, but i have to use it in a little WCF. I found this code here. As i can see, this generate a token, but i have a few questions: 1. What is Payload and it is each variable? 2. After generate de Token, how to i use in my WCF? 3. Do i have to put the CODE in the WCF? CODE

static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("");

       // Define const Key this should be private secret key  stored in some safe place
       string key = "401b09eab3c013d4ca54922bb802bec8fd5318192b0a75f201d8b372742
       9090fb337591abd3e44453b954555b7a0812e1081c39b740293f765eae731f5a65ed1";

       // Create Security key  using private key above:
       // not that latest version of JWT using Microsoft namespace instead of System
       var securityKey = new Microsoft
           .IdentityModel.Tokens.SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key));

       // Also note that securityKey length should be >256b
       // so you have to make sure that your private key has a proper length
       //
       var credentials = new Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.SigningCredentials
                         (securityKey, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256Signature);

       //  Finally create a Token
       var header = new JwtHeader(credentials);

       //Some PayLoad that contain information about the  customer
       var payload = new JwtPayload
       {
           { "some ", "hello "},
           { "scope", "http://dummy.com/"},
       };

       //
       var secToken = new JwtSecurityToken(header, payload);
       var handler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();

       // Token to String so you can use it in your client
       var tokenString = handler.WriteToken(secToken);

       Console.WriteLine(tokenString);
       Console.WriteLine("Consume Token");


       // And finally when  you received token from client
       // you can  either validate it or try to  read
       var token = handler.ReadJwtToken(tokenString);

       Console.WriteLine(token.Payload.First().Value);

       Console.ReadLine();
   }
