   * {@code iss} claim, the JWT must contain an identical claim. The JWT can contain claims that are
   * {@code NOT} in the {@code validator}. However, if the JWT contains a list of audiences, the

   * will also be validated. {@code validator} allows to set a clock skew, to deal with small clock
   * differences among different machines.
   *
   * @throws GeneralSecurityException when the signature of the token could not be verified, the
   *     token contains an invalid claim or header, the token has been expired or can't be used yet
