`options.clockTolerance` | `number` | optional | `0` | Clock tolerance in seconds, to help with slighly out of sync systems.
`options.throwError` | `boolean` | optional | `false` | By default this we will only throw implementation errors, only set this to `true` if you want verification errors to be thrown as well.


#### `throws`
If `options.throwError` is `true` and the token is invalid, an error will be thrown.
