SciTokens C++ Library Documentation
====================================
SciTokens provide a token format for distributed authorization. The tokens are self-describing,
can be verified in a distributed fashion (no need to contact the issuer to determine if the token is valid).
This is convenient for a federated environment where several otherwise-independent storage endpoints
want to delegate trust for an issuer for managing a storage allocation.
The SciTokens C++ library implements a minimal library for creating and using SciTokens from C or C++.

Quick Start
-----------
This library provides both C and C++ APIs for working with SciTokens. The primary interface
is through the C API defined in ``scitokens.h``.
Key Features:
* Create and sign SciTokens
* Validate and verify SciTokens
* Generate Access Control Lists (ACLs) from tokens
* Support for multiple token profiles (SciTokens 1.0/2.0, WLCG, AT+JWT)
* Asynchronous token operations
