### Creating API keys
LiveKit utilizes JWT based access tokens for authentication to all of its APIs.
Because of this, the server needs a list of valid API keys and secrets to validate the provided tokens. For more, see [Authentication](docs/authentication.md).

# Authentication
LiveKit uses access tokens (JWT) to authenticate clients. A pair of API key and secret key is used to authenticate each API holder.
An access token encapsulate a few pieces of information:
- Grants: what permissions does this token have
- Issuer: which api key issued the token
- Expiration: how long should it be valid for
- Identity: the participant's identity (when joining a room)
Access tokens can be created with `livekit-cli`, or any of the livekit server SDKs
