We’re thrilled to unveil the newest building block in our secure voice offering. Starting today, Telnyx users can authenticate with JSON Web Tokens in place of SIP credentials. 

 

## What are JSON Web Tokens?

JSON Web Tokens are an open standard, set out in [RFC 7519](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519 "RFC 7519 - JSON Web Token (JWT)"), for securely exchanging pieces of information about a subject, known as claims.

A JSON Web Token (JWT, pronounced “jot”) is simply a JSON payload containing a particular claim. The validity of a JWT can be confirmed simply by examining the contents of the token itself, a key security property that enables the widespread use of JWTs in authorization and information exchange applications.

 

## How can I use JSON Web Tokens with Telnyx?

Using the Telnyx API, JWTs can be used in place of SIP username and passwords to ensure safe and secure authentication, particularly for WebRTC browser applications. The signed JWT acts effectively as a temporary user credential that replaces the permanent credential login (SIP username and password combination).

Telnyx JWTs also support custom expiration timestamps allowing full flexibility on when tokens expire to accommodate any use-case.

If you’re an Australian business, working in AUD will allow you to better understand your pricing as it appears on our website and in the Mission Control Portal, making your invoices more clear and predictable.

This billing feature comes as part of wider improvements to our services Down Under, including our [dedicated network point of presence in Sydney](https://telnyx.com/resources/telnyx-expands-into-australia-with-sydney-point-of-presence "New Telnyx Point of Presence in Sydney"), [better international call routing](https://telnyx.com/release-notes/international-conversational-direct "New Outbound Voice Product: International Direct Routing"), SIP registration on sip.telnyx.com.au, a more reliable Australian +61 number search and ordering experience, and our ability to serve as an [ISDN replacement in Australia](https://telnyx.com/resources/isdn-pstn-shutdown-aus-nz "ISDN Replacement Communications Services | Telnyx"), through our [Elastic SIP Trunking](https://telnyx.com/products/sip-trunks "Elastic SIP Trunking for Australia | Telnyx") and [Programmable SMS](https://telnyx.com/products/sms-api "Australia Programmable SMS API") offerings.

 

## How to activate AUD billing on your Telnyx account

To get started, you’ll need to [sign up for a Telnyx account](https://telnyx.com/sign-up "Sign Up | Telnyx"). Once you’ve verified your email address and logged into your Mission Control Portal, we’ll ask you a few questions about how you’ll be using Telnyx.

Call media can now be routed through this PoP according to this lowest-latency metric for even better call quality. You can also choose to manually anchor your call media at the Frankfurt PoP for even greater control over your call routing.

You can configure this new call media anchoring option through your Connection options on our [Mission Control Portal](https://portal.telnyx.com/ "Telnyx Mission Control Portal"), or check out our [Developer Center](https://developers.telnyx.com/ "API Documentation | Telnyx Developers") to learn how you can make the same updates via API.

We currently support US/CA landline long codes, but not toll free or mobile long codes. It will take up to 1 business day to verify documentation and activate local long codes.
