研究方向
The issue requests a clarification in the repository's documentation that JWT is signed, not encrypted. Look in the README or tutorial markdown files for the section where JWT is explained (e.g., 'what is JWT' or 'JWT structure'). Add a short sentence or note emphasizing that JWT uses digital signatures for integrity/verification, not encryption for confidentiality. No code changes are needed; only text modification.
