+Once enabled, it will forward the X509 client certificate from the request header `x-fowarded-client-cert`
+as `x-client_cert` header to the `/oauth2/token_keys` endpoint.
+To enable Proof Token validation for `JwtSignatureValidator`:
+
 ```java
-JwtX5tValidator validator = new JwtX5tValidator(oAuth2ServiceConfiguration);
-ValidationResult result = validator.validate(token);
+JwtValidatorBuilder.getInstance(oAuth2ServiceConfiguration)

 ### `Token` usage
-#### Create a Token Object 
-This code snippet decodes a given JSON Web Token (JWT) and extracts its JSON header and payload. The `Token` interface allows for easy access to JWT header parameters and claims. The claim constants can be found in the [`TokenClaims`](/java-api/src/main/java/com/sap/cloud/security/token/TokenClaims.java) class.
