When login in with EKMF Web, a bearer token is retrieved from EKMF Web
which is then used on subsequent requests to authenticate with EKMF Web.
Such a bearer token is valid for several minutes, thus no re-login is
required during that time. The bearer token contains a JSON Web Token
(JWT, see RFC7519).
Allow to check such a token if it is still valid, or already expired.
That way a client application can check the token before issuing the next
request, and re-login if needed.
