+This module provides functions to deal with the JWT authorization (http://jwt.io).
+It also can be used to define other authorization functions,
+in the future Oauth, LDAP and similar integrations can be coded here.
+
+Authentication should always be implemented in an external service.
+In the test suite there is an example of simple login function that can be used for a
+very simple authentication system inside the PostgreSQL database.
