Refresh tokens are used to obtain new access tokens when the existing ones expire. They are longer-lived and provide a mechanism for continuous access to resources.

One of the common types is the access token. This token grants temporary access to a specific resource or service and is usually short-lived.

Self-signed JWTs, or JSON Web Tokens, are tokens that are signed by the same entity that issued them. They are typically used for information exchange between parties.
