const jwt = 'eyJhbGciOiJkaXIiLCJlbmMiOiJBMjU2R0NNIn0..KVcNLqK-3-8ZkYIC.xSwF4VxO0kUMUD2W-cifsNUxnr-swyBq-nADBptyt6y9n79-iNc5b0AALJpRwc0wwDkJw8hNOMjApNUTMsK9b-asToZ3DXFMvwfJ6n1aWefvd7RsoZ2LInWFfVAuttJDzoGB.uuexQoWHwrLMEYRElT8pBQ'

const { payload, protectedHeader } = await jose.jwtDecrypt(jwt, secretKey, {
  issuer: 'urn:example:issuer',
  audience: 'urn:example:audience'
})

console.log(protectedHeader)
console.log(payload)
```
