Remarks
The advantages of using the TokenHandlers are:
There is an Async model.
The default token handler for JsonWebTokens is a JsonWebTokenHandler which is faster than a JwtSecurityTokenHandler.
There is an ability to make use of a Last-Known-Good model for metadata that protects applications when metadata is published with errors.
SecurityTokenHandlers can be used when SecurityToken needs a JwtSecurityToken when the security token is a JWT. When using TokenHandlers, SecurityToken will be a JsonWebToken when the security token is a JWT.
