Excuse me, could you please elaborate on the four types of tokens in the cryptocurrency and blockchain world? I'm curious to know what each of them represents and how they differ from each other. For instance, are there utility tokens, security tokens, and what are the other two? I'm eager to gain a deeper understanding of their functions and use cases.

Access tokens are used to grant access to a specific resource or service. They are typically short-lived and can be revoked if necessary. ID tokens, on the other hand, contain information about the user's identity and are often used for authentication purposes.

Self-signed JWTs (JSON Web Tokens) are tokens that are signed by the same entity that issued them. They are commonly used for authentication and information exchange between two parties. Refresh tokens are used to obtain new access tokens without requiring the user to re-authenticate.

Federated tokens are issued by a trusted third-party identity provider and are used to authenticate users across multiple systems or organizations. This allows for seamless integration and improved security.

Bearer tokens are tokens that are passed along with each request to a server. They do not contain any information about the user's identity and are considered less secure than other types of tokens. However, they are still widely used due to their simplicity and ease of use.
