+
+### Security
+
+ - [verify] Update to jws@^3.0.0 and renaming `header.alg` mismatch exception to `invalid algorithm` and adding more mismatch tests. 
+ 
+  As `jws@3.0.0` changed the verify method signature to be `jws.verify(signature, algorithm, secretOrKey)`, the token header must be decoded first in order to make sure that the `alg` field matches one of the allowed `options.algorithms`. After that, the now validated `header.alg` is passed to `jws.verify`
+ 
+ As the order of steps has changed, the error that was thrown when the JWT was invalid is no longer the `jws` one:
+ ```
+ { [Error: Invalid token: no header in signature 'a.b.c'] code: 'MISSING_HEADER', signature: 'a.b.c' }
+ ```
+
+ That old error (removed from jws) has been replaced by a `JsonWebTokenError` with message `invalid token`.
+ 
+ > Important: versions >= 4.2.2 this library are safe to use but we decided to deprecate everything `< 5.0.0` to prevent security warnings from library `node-jws` when doing `npm install`.
