I am looking for the easiest way to implement JSON Web Token authentication using IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt. Here is a link to a package itself:

+1 on the sparse doc of MS package. That said, you may find this package much easier to use/customize to your needs. The project site will give you all the details. Hth..EdSF– EdSF2015-11-25 16:25:26 +00:00Commented Nov 25, 2015 at 16:25

This is what worked for me:
var securityKey = new InMemorySymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.Default.GetBytes("MySecretKey"));
var header = new JwtHeader(new SigningCredentials(securityKey, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256Signature, SecurityAlgorithms.Sha256Digest));
var payload = new JwtPayload();
var claims = new List<Claim>
{
new Claim(ClaimTypes.Email, "[email protected]"),
...
};
payload.AddClaims(claims);
// if you need something more complex than string/string data
payload.Add("tags", new List<string> { "admin", "user" });
var token = new JwtSecurityToken(header, payload);
var tokenString = securityTokenHandler.WriteToken(token);
