 * `algorithms`: List of strings with the names of the allowed algorithms. For instance, `["HS256", "HS384"]`.
 * `audience`: if you want to check audience (`aud`), provide a value here. The audience can be checked against a string, a regular expression or a list of strings and/or regular expressions.

+* `complete`: return an object with the decoded `{ payload, header, signature }` instead of only the usual content of the payload.
 * `issuer` (optional): string or array of strings of valid values for the `iss` field.
 * `ignoreExpiration`: if `true` do not validate the expiration of the token.
 * `ignoreNotBefore`...
