Hello,
Thanks to your work, I was able to successfully verify an attestation generated by an Azure CVM.
However, I am struggling to understand how your code verifies the signature of a JWT. I want to ensure that the JWT generated is authentic, has not been tampered with, and was issued by Azure Attestation. Although I have reviewed your code, I am still unclear on the specific steps you are following. Could you please provide some clarity on this matter? How can i reproduce the steps without using the code. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the code that verifies Azure Attestation JWT signatures, then document how authenticity, tamper detection, and issuer validation work and provide a reproduction path that does not depend on the code.
