   ## Overview
   
   Users of JWT rightly expect tokens to be considered invalid once they 
expire. It is a surprise to some that this requires a change to the default 
configuration. In the interest of security we will now require a valid `exp` 
claim in tokens. Administrators can disable the check by changing 
`required_claims` back to the empty string.
   
   We do not add `nbf` as a required claim as it seems to not be set often in 
practice.
