Description

The authentication code in C++ will need to parse/verify/read the JWT contents. There are several C++ JWT libraries. We should pick one and incorporate it into the native toolchain.

C++ JWT libraries:

https://github.com/Thalhammer/jwt-cpp

https://github.com/arun11299/cpp-jwt

It looks like one or both may be header-only, but the native toolchain provides an easy way to organize it.
