`secretOrPublicKey` is a string or buffer containing either the secret for HMAC algorithms, or the PEM
encoded public key for RSA and ECDSA.
As mentioned in [this comment](https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken/issues/208#issuecomment-231861138), there are other libraries that expect base64 encoded secrets (random bytes encoded using base64), if that is your case you can pass `new Buffer(secret, 'base64')`, by doing this the secret will be decoded using base64 and the token verification will use the original random bytes.
`options`
* `algorithms`: List of strings with the names of the allowed algorithms. For instance, `["HS256", "HS384"]`.
