I am using pyjwt library for decoding the JWT token. I got this error when I am decoding. The code was given in the documantation.
import jwt
encoded_jwt='''eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbG......'''
secret=b''''-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MIIFRjCCBC6gAwIBAgIQCIdSGhpikQCjOIY154XoqzANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADBN
......
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----'''
print(jwt.decode(encoded_jwt, secret , algorithms=['RS256']))
raise ValueError("Could not deserialize key data.") ValueError: Could
not deserialize key data.
Could You please help me in resolving it beacuse when I use this it in the JWT website it's working.
This is the full error log..

Its a good idea to use your RSA keys with OpenSSL:
