# JWKS Authentication

## What is JWKS?

JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) is a standard format for sharing public keys. It enables secure communication by allowing third parties to verify the authenticity of JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) signed by our system.

## How it works in inTandem

In our inTandem platform, partner applications are embedded as iframes within our system. When these embedded apps need to send requests, they communicate with the platform using the `getAuth` method from the inTandem SDK. This is also true for dashboard widgets.
