Token Signing Certificate Update Sharepoint

Question

I need to update the sharepoint farm with the new token signing certificate. Can someone point me to the right procedure? It seems this is something that has to be done via sharepoint powershell and not cmc. There are two app servers in the farm and multiple front end web servers.
