JWT authorization for external services

Security
1

Is it possible to authenticate and authorize external services registered in ServiceEntry using JWT?
I applied policy to namespace scope and created ServiceEntry in the same namespace. The rules are not applied to the external service in service entry.

it won’t apply, the authN/Z policy applies in the server side envoy sidecar (not client side), the external service doesn’t have envoy sidecar.
