Oauth - Bearer Token

bearer token is a access token implementation defined in the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework

The token may be a Json Web Token (JWT) or an other access token .

Any party in possession of a bearer token (a bearer) can use it to get access to the associated resources (without demonstrating possession of a cryptographic key) because the token is:

• signed
• or is known by the authorization server

You will find it in the authoritzation header of a HTTP request
