# Set up a JWT key {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Configure a JWT key to enable secure authentication for Card Data Security. This is used to sign the authentication
tokens that ServiceNow sends to external systems.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin  
This task needs the following:

|-|-|
| Card network (Visa, Mastercard) | * A X.509 certificate created for Card Data Security. See [Create an X.509 Certificate](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/alsJKVFvCY3wsClsit8Zyg "Create an X.509 certificate record in ServiceNow by uploading a Java Key Store (JKS) file and configuring the certificate settings. This enables secure authentication and encryption for Card Data Security applications.") for more information. * The key alias that was defined when generating the JKS file for Card Data Security. See [Create a JKS file](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Frw8~QFQdgBRyZS57_jrGQ "Generate a Java KeyStore (JKS) file for OAuth authentication setup. This process involves extracting the private key from a credentials JSON file and converting it through PEM format to create the required JKS file.") for more information. * The credentials JSON file obtained from the tokenizer service. {#set-up-a-jwt-key__ul_ywc_tpy_23c} |
| Verifi | See [Set up Verifi integration](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/WHVb~2RH7c0~FsFJ4Pdwdg#set-up-oauth-for-card-data-security__section_itm_4vn_kjc) for a list of required values. |
[Table 1. Set up requirements]

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem OAuthJWT Keys.
2. Select New.
3. For card network integrations, enter the following field values.

   | Field | Value |
   | Name | \<Name of the JWT key\> |
   | Signing Keystore | \<The X.509 certificate created for Card Data Security\> |
   | Signing Key | \<The key alias defined when generating the JKS file\> |
   | Key ID | \<The `keyID` value from the credentials JSON file\> |
   |-|-|

   {#set-up-a-jwt-key__choicetable_ffc_hpy_23c}  
   For a Verifi integration, enter the following field values.

   | Field | Value |
   | Name | \<Name of the JWT key\> |
   | Signing Algorithm | HMAC256, or the value specified by Verifi at the time of account creation |
   | Signing Key | \<The key alias defined when generating the JKS file\> |
   | Key ID | \<The `keyID` value from the credentials JSON file\> |
   |-|-|

   {#set-up-a-jwt-key__choicetable_zt3_dyn_kjc}
4. Select Submit.

## Result

A JWT Key record is created.

## What to do next

[Set up a JWT Provider](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/NXylDHDLNMcK_FHGhdIIjw "Configure a JWT Provider to enable secure token-based authentication for Card Data Security by setting up signing configurations and claim values. This provider generates JSON Web Tokens that authenticate requests to the tokenizer service using credentials from your tokenizer service JSON file.").
