- You must have created a self-signed certificate, signed with the SHA-256 signature algorithm. Asset tokens are signed with this algorithm using a private key that is specific to, and protected by your Salesforce org. The private key can be verified using the corresponding public key in the asset token. For more information, see Generate a Self-Signed Certificate.
- While not required, it’s highly recommended that you enable Customer 360 Identity, so that your customers can register asset tokens. See [Customer 360 Identity](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=identity_about_customers_partners.htm&language=en_US).
- If you need a refresher on the JSON Web Token (JWT) format, we recommend reviewing the [RFC 7519](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519) specification. It’s essential to understand how claims work in a JWT, how JWTs are encoded as a JSON object, and how the object is protected using a JWS structure.
