OpenWrt specific shell (ash) script to decode JWT token and verify it's signature. Based on https://gist.github.com/stokito/f2d7ea0b300f14638a9063559384ec89

README.md

You'll need to instll OpenSSL and it will use about 1.3Mb. So check that it's enought of available space:

df -h | grep /overlay

Then install it:

opkg install openssl-util

It also will install libopenssl1.1 and libopenssl-conf.
