Microservices - Authentication and Authorization

Consider this code snippet for JWT validation in a microservice:

if verify_jwt(token):
    grant_access()
else:
    reject_request()

What is the expected behavior if the JWT token's "exp" claim indicates it has expired?

AThe token will be refreshed automatically

BThe token will be accepted but with limited permissions

CThe token will be accepted without any checks

DThe token will be rejected and access denied

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand JWT expiration
The "exp" claim defines token expiry time; expired tokens are invalid.
Step 2: Effect on validation
verify_jwt() should fail if token is expired.
Final Answer:
The token will be rejected and access denied -> Option D
Quick Check:
Expired tokens are invalid [OK]

Quick Trick: Expired JWT tokens are always rejected [OK]
