createJWTSHA256() function requires a payload in the form of a JSON object containing information such as the name, username, email, resource role, etc, and a
secret code that could be the hashed password (salted hashed passwords work). Returns the jwt string as header.payload.signature with added information, encoded in base64url
and hashed using SHA-256 algorithm
verifyJWTSHA256() function requires a jwt token as a string, and the secret code that could be the hashed password (salted hashed passwords work), and will verify if
