Abstract

   A JSON Web Key (JWK) is a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data
   structure that represents a cryptographic key.  This specification
   also defines a JSON Web Key Set (JWK Set) JSON data structure for
   representing a set of JWKs.  Cryptographic algorithms and identifiers
   for use with this specification are described in the separate JSON
   Web Algorithms (JWA) specification and IANA registries defined by
   that specification.

1.  Introduction

   A JSON Web Key (JWK) is a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) [RFC7159]
   data structure that represents a cryptographic key.  This
   specification also defines a JSON Web Key Set (JWK Set) JSON data
   structure for representing a set of JWKs.  Cryptographic algorithms
   and identifiers for use with this specification are described in the
   separate JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) [JWA] specification and IANA
   registries defined by that specification.

   Goals for this specification do not include representing certificate
   chains, representing certified keys, and replacing X.509
   certificates.

   JWKs and JWK Sets are used in the JSON Web Signature (JWS) [JWS] and
   JSON Web Encryption (JWE) [JWE] specifications.

   Names defined by this specification are short because a core goal is
   for the resulting representations to be compact.

1.1.  Notational Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in Key
   words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels [RFC2119].  If
   these words are used without being spelled in uppercase then they are
   to be interpreted with their normal natural language meanings.

   BASE64URL(OCTETS) denotes the base64url encoding of OCTETS, per
   Section 2.

   UTF8(STRING) denotes the octets of the UTF-8 [RFC3629] representation
   of STRING.

   ASCII(STRING) denotes the octets of the ASCII [USASCII]
   representation of STRING.

   The concatenation of two values A and B is denoted as A || B.

2.  Terminology

   These terms defined by the JSON Web Signature (JWS) [JWS]
   specification are incorporated into this specification: "Base64url
   Encoding" and "Collision-Resistant Name".

   These terms are defined for use by this specification:

Internet-Draft                     JWK                        March 2014

   JSON Web Key (JWK)
      A JSON object that represents a cryptographic key.

   JSON Web Key Set (JWK Set)
      A JSON object that contains an array of JWKs as the value of its
      "keys" member.

3.  JSON Web Key (JWK) Format

   A JSON Web Key (JWK) is a JSON object.  The members of the object
   represent properties of the key, including its value.  This document
   defines the key parameters that are not algorithm specific, and thus
   common to many keys.

   In addition to the common parameters, each JWK will have members that
   are specific to the kind of key being represented.  These members
   represent the parameters of the key.  Section 6 of the JSON Web
   Algorithms (JWA) [JWA] specification defines multiple kinds of
   cryptographic keys and their associated members.

   The member names within a JWK MUST be unique; recipients MUST either
   reject JWKs with duplicate member names or use a JSON parser that
   returns only the lexically last duplicate member name, as specified
   in Section 15.12 (The JSON Object) of ECMAScript 5.1 [ECMAScript].

   Additional members can be present in the JWK; if not understood by
   implementations encountering them, they MUST be ignored.  Member
   names used for representing key parameters for different keys types
   need not be distinct.  Any new member name should either be
   registered in the IANA JSON Web Key Parameters registry defined in
   Section 7.1 or be a value that contains a Collision-Resistant Name.

3.1.  "kty" (Key Type) Parameter

   The "kty" (key type) member identifies the cryptographic algorithm
   family used with the key. "kty" values should either be registered in
   the IANA JSON Web Key Types registry defined in [JWA] or be a value
   that contains a Collision-Resistant Name.  The "kty" value is a case-
   sensitive string.  This member MUST be present in a JWK.

   A list of defined "kty" values can be found in the IANA JSON Web Key
   Types registry defined in [JWA]; the initial contents of this
   registry are the values defined in Section 6.1 of the JSON Web
   Algorithms (JWA) [JWA] specification.

   The key type definitions include specification of the members to be
   used for those key types.  Additional members used with "kty" values

Jones                    Expires October 2, 2014                [Page 5]
Internet-Draft                     JWK                        March 2014

   can also be found in the IANA JSON Web Key Parameters registry
   defined in Section 7.1.

3.2.  "use" (Public Key Use) Parameter

   The "use" (public key use) member identifies the intended use of the
   public key.  The "use" parameter is intended for use cases in which
   it is useful to distinguish between public signing keys and public
   encryption keys.  It is not intended for use cases in which private
   or symmetric keys may also be present.

   Values defined by this specification are:

   o  "sig" (signature)

   o  "enc" (encryption)

   Other values MAY be used.  Public Key Use values can be registered in
   the IANA JSON Web Key Use registry defined in Section 7.2.  The "use"
   value is a case-sensitive string.  Use of the "use" member is
   OPTIONAL, unless the application requires its presence.

   When a key is used to wrap another key and a key use designation for
   the first key is desired, the "enc" (encryption) key use value SHOULD
   be used, since key wrapping is a kind of encryption.  The "enc" value
   SHOULD also be used for public keys used for key agreement
   operations.  (The "alg" member can be used to specify the particular
   cryptographic operation to be performed, when desired.)

3.3.  "key_ops" (Key Operations) Parameter

   The "key_ops" (key operations) member identifies the operations(s)
   that the key is intended to be used for.  The "key_ops" parameter is
   intended for use cases in which public, private, or symmetric keys
   may be present.

   Its value is an array of key operation values.  Values defined by
   this specification are:

   o  "sign" (compute signature or MAC)

   o  "verify" (verify signature or MAC)

   o  "encrypt" (encrypt content)

   o  "decrypt" (decrypt content and validate decryption, if applicable)

Jones                    Expires October 2, 2014                [Page 6]
Internet-Draft                     JWK                        March 2014

   o  "wrapKey" (encrypt key)

   o  "unwrapKey" (decrypt key and validate decryption, if applicable)

   o  "deriveKey" (derive key)

   o  "deriveBits" (derive bits not to be used as a key)

   (Note that the "key_ops" values intentionally match the "KeyUsage"
   values defined in the Web Cryptography API [WebCrypto]
   specification.)

   Other values MAY be used.  Key operation values can be registered in
   the IANA JSON Web Key Operations registry defined in Section 7.3.
   The key operation values are case-sensitive strings.  Duplicate key
   operation values MUST NOT be present in the array.

   Use of the "key_ops" member is OPTIONAL, unless the application
   requires its presence.

   Multiple unrelated key operations SHOULD NOT be specified for a key
   because of the potential vulnerabilities associated with using the
   same key with multiple algorithms.  Thus, the combinations "sign"
   with "verify", "encrypt" with "decrypt", and "wrapKey" with
   "unwrapKey" are permitted, but other combinations SHOULD NOT be used.

   The "use" and "key_ops" JWK members SHOULD NOT be used together.
   Applications should specify which of these members they use, if
   either is to be used by the application.

3.4.  "alg" (Algorithm) Parameter

   The "alg" (algorithm) member identifies the algorithm intended for
   use with the key.  The values used should either be registered in the
   IANA JSON Web Signature and Encryption Algorithms registry defined in
   [JWA] or be a value that contains a Collision-Resistant Name.  Use of
   this member is OPTIONAL.

3.5.  "kid" (Key ID) Parameter

   The "kid" (key ID) member can be used to match a specific key.  This
   can be used, for instance, to choose among a set of keys within a JWK
   Set during key rollover.  The structure of the "kid" value is
   unspecified.  When "kid" values are used within a JWK Set, different
   keys within the JWK Set SHOULD use distinct "kid" values.  (One
   example in which different keys might use the same "kid" value is if
   they have different "kty" (key type) values but are considered to be
   equivalent alternatives by the application using them.)  The "kid"

Jones                    Expires October 2, 2014                [Page 7]
Internet-Draft                     JWK                        March 2014

   value is a case-sensitive string.  Use of this member is OPTIONAL.

   When used with JWS or JWE, the "kid" value is used to match a JWS or
   JWE "kid" Header Parameter value.

3.6.  "x5u" (X.509 URL) Parameter

   The "x5u" (X.509 URL) member is a URI [RFC3986] that refers to a
   resource for an X.509 public key certificate or certificate chain
   [RFC5280].  The identified resource MUST provide a representation of
   the certificate or certificate chain that conforms to RFC 5280
   [RFC5280] in PEM encoded form [RFC1421].  The key in the first
   certificate MUST match the public key represented by other members of
   the JWK.  The protocol used to acquire the resource MUST provide
   integrity protection; an HTTP GET request to retrieve the certificate
   MUST use TLS [RFC2818] [RFC5246]; the identity of the server MUST be
   validated, as per Section 3.1 of HTTP Over TLS [RFC2818].  Use of
   this member is OPTIONAL.

   While there is no requirement that members other than those
   representing the public key be populated when an "x5u" member is
   present, doing so may improve interoperability for applications that
   do not handle PKIX certificates.  If other members are present, the
   contents of those members MUST be semantically consistent with the
   related fields in the first certificate.  For instance, if the "use"
   member is present, then it needs to allow for only a subset of the
   usages that are permitted by the certificate.  Similarly, if the
   "alg" member is present, it should represent an algorithm that the
   certificate allows.

3.7.  "x5c" (X.509 Certificate Chain) Parameter

   The "x5c" (X.509 Certificate Chain) member contains a chain of one or
   more PKIX certificates [RFC5280].  The certificate chain is
   represented as a JSON array of certificate value strings.  Each
   string in the array is a base64 encoded ([RFC4648] Section 4 -- not
   base64url encoded) DER [ITU.X690.1994] PKIX certificate value.  The
   PKIX certificate containing the key value MUST be the first
   certificate.  This MAY be followed by additional certificates, with
   each subsequent certificate being the one used to certify the
   previous one.  The key in the first certificate MUST match the public
   key represented by other members of the JWK.  Use of this member is
   OPTIONAL.

   As with the "x5u" member, members other than those representing the
   public key may also be populated when an "x5c" member is present.  If
   other members are present, the contents of those members MUST be
   semantically consistent with the related fields in the first

Jones                    Expires October 2, 2014                [Page 8]
Internet-Draft                     JWK                        March 2014

   certificate.  See the last paragraph of Section 3.6 for additional
   guidance on this.

3.8.  "x5t" (X.509 Certificate SHA-1 Thumbprint) Parameter

   The "x5t" (X.509 Certificate SHA-1 Thumbprint) member is a base64url
   encoded SHA-1 thumbprint (a.k.a. digest) of the DER encoding of an
   X.509 certificate [RFC5280].  The key in the certificate MUST match
   the public key represented by other members of the JWK.  Use of this
   member is OPTIONAL.

   If, in the future, certificate thumbprints need to be computed using
   hash functions other than SHA-1, it is suggested that additional
   related JWK parameters be defined for that purpose.  For example, it
   is suggested that a new "x5t#S256" (X.509 Certificate Thumbprint
   using SHA-256) JWK parameter could be defined by registering it in
   the IANA JSON Web Key Parameters registry defined in Section 7.1.

   As with the "x5u" member, members other than those representing the
   public key may also be populated when an "x5t" member is present.  If
   other members are present, the contents of those members MUST be
   semantically consistent with the related fields in the referenced
   certificate.  See the last paragraph of Section 3.6 for additional
   guidance on this.

4.  JSON Web Key Set (JWK Set) Format

   A JSON Web Key Set (JWK Set) is a JSON object representing a set of
   JWKs.  The JSON object MUST have a "keys" member, which is an array
   of JWK objects.

   The member names within a JWK Set MUST be unique; recipients MUST
   either reject JWK Sets with duplicate member names or use a JSON
   parser that returns only the lexically last duplicate member name, as
   specified in Section 15.12 (The JSON Object) of ECMAScript 5.1
   [ECMAScript].

   Additional members can be present in the JWK Set; if not understood
   by implementations encountering them, they MUST be ignored.
   Parameters for representing additional properties of JWK Sets should
   either be registered in the IANA JSON Web Key Set Parameters registry
   defined in Section 7.4 or be a value that contains a Collision-
   Resistant Name.

   Implementations SHOULD ignore JWKs within a JWK Set that use "kty"
   (key type) values that are not understood by them, are missing
   required members, or for which values are out of the supported

Jones                    Expires October 2, 2014                [Page 9]
Internet-Draft                     JWK                        March 2014

   ranges.

4.1.  "keys" Parameter

   The value of the "keys" member is an array of JWK values.  By
   default, the order of the JWK values within the array does not imply
   an order of preference among them, although applications of JWK Sets
   can choose to assign a meaning to the order for their purposes, if
   desired.  This member MUST be present in a JWK Set.

5.  String Comparison Rules

   The string comparison rules for this specification are the same as
   those defined in Section 5.3 of [JWS].

6.  Encrypted JWK and Encrypted JWK Set Formats

   JWKs containing non-public key material will need to be encrypted in
   some contexts to prevent the disclosure of private or symmetric key
   values to unintended parties.  The use of an Encrypted JWK, which is
   a JWE with the UTF-8 encoding of a JWK as its plaintext value, is
   recommended for this purpose.  The processing of Encrypted JWKs is
   identical to the processing of other JWEs.  A "cty" (content type)
   Header Parameter value of "jwk+json" MUST be used to indicate that
   the content of the JWE is a JWK, unless the application knows that
   the encrypted content is a JWK by another means or convention.

   JWK Sets containing non-public key material will similarly need to be
   encrypted.  The use of an Encrypted JWK Set, which is a JWE with the
   UTF-8 encoding of a JWK Set as its plaintext value, is recommended
   for this purpose.  The processing of Encrypted JWK Sets is identical
   to the processing of other JWEs.  A "cty" (content type) Header
   Parameter value of "jwk-set+json" MUST be used to indicate that the
   content of the JWE is a JWK Set, unless the application knows that
   the encrypted content is a JWK Set by another means or convention.

   See Appendix C for an example encrypted JWK.

7.  IANA Considerations

   The following registration procedure is used for all the registries
   established by this specification.

   Values are registered with a Specification Required [RFC5226] after a
   two-week review period on the [TBD]@ietf.org mailing list, on the

Jones                    Expires October 2, 2014               [Page 10]
Internet-Draft                     JWK                        March 2014

   advice of one or more Designated Experts.  However, to allow for the
   allocation of values prior to publication, the Designated Expert(s)
   may approve registration once they are satisfied that such a
   specification will be published.

   Registration requests must be sent to the [TBD]@ietf.org mailing list
   for review and comment, with an appropriate subject (e.g., "Request
   for access token type: example"). [[ Note to the RFC Editor: The name
   of the mailing list should be determined in consultation with the
   IESG and IANA.  Suggested name: jose-reg-review. ]]

   Within the review period, the Designated Expert(s) will either
   approve or deny the registration request, communicating this decision
   to the review list and IANA.  Denials should include an explanation
   and, if applicable, suggestions as to how to make the request
   successful.  Registration requests that are undetermined for a period
   longer than 21 days can be brought to the IESG's attention (using the
   iesg@iesg.org mailing list) for resolution.

   Criteria that should be applied by the Designated Expert(s) includes
   determining whether the proposed registration duplicates existing
   functionality, determining whether it is likely to be of general
   applicability or whether it is useful only for a single application,
   and whether the registration makes sense.

   IANA must only accept registry updates from the Designated Expert(s)
   and should direct all requests for registration to the review mailing
   list.

   It is suggested that multiple Designated Experts be appointed who are
   able to represent the perspectives of different applications using
   this specification, in order to enable broadly-informed review of
   registration decisions.  In cases where a registration decision could
   be perceived as creating a conflict of interest for a particular
   Expert, that Expert should defer to the judgment of the other
   Expert(s).

7.1.  JSON Web Key Parameters Registry

   This specification establishes the IANA JSON Web Key Parameters
   registry for JWK parameter names.  The registry records the parameter
   name, the key type(s) that the parameter is used with, and a
   reference to the specification that defines it.  It also records
   whether the parameter conveys public or private information.  This
   specification registers the parameter names defined in Section 3.
   The same JWK parameter name may be registered multiple times,
   provided that duplicate parameter registrations are only for key type
   specific JWK parameters; in this case, the meaning of the duplicate

Internet-Draft                     JWK                        March 2014

   parameter name is disambiguated by the "kty" value of the JWK
   containing it.

7.1.1.  Registration Template

   Parameter Name:
      The name requested (e.g., "example").  Because a core goal of this
      specification is for the resulting representations to be compact,
      it is RECOMMENDED that the name be short -- not to exceed 8
      characters without a compelling reason to do so.  This name is
      case-sensitive.  Names may not match other registered names in a
      case-insensitive manner unless the Designated Expert(s) state that
      there is a compelling reason to allow an exception in this
      particular case.  However, matching names may be registered,
      provided that the accompanying sets of "kty" values that the
      Parameter Name is used with are disjoint; for the purposes of
      matching "kty" values, "*" matches all values.

   Parameter Description:
      Brief description of the parameter (e.g., "Example description").

   Used with "kty" Value(s):
      The key type parameter value(s) that the parameter name is to be
      used with, or the value "*" if the parameter value is used with
      all key types.  Values may not match other registered "kty" values
      in a case-insensitive manner when the registered Parameter Name is
      the same (including when the Parameter Name matches in a case-
      insensitive manner) unless the Designated Expert(s) state that
      there is a compelling reason to allow an exception in this
      particular case.

   Parameter Information Class:
      Registers whether the parameter conveys public or private
      information.  Its value must be one the words Public or Private.

   Change Controller:
      For Standards Track RFCs, state "IESG".  For others, give the name
      of the responsible party.  Other details (e.g., postal address,
      email address, home page URI) may also be included.

   Specification Document(s):
      Reference to the document(s) that specify the parameter,
      preferably including URI(s) that can be used to retrieve copies of
      the document(s).  An indication of the relevant sections may also
      be included but is not required.

8.  Security Considerations

   All of the security issues faced by any cryptographic application
   must be faced by a JWS/JWE/JWK agent.  Among these issues are
   protecting the user's private and symmetric keys, preventing various

Jones                    Expires October 2, 2014               [Page 18]
Internet-Draft                     JWK                        March 2014

   attacks, and helping the user avoid mistakes such as inadvertently
   encrypting a message for the wrong recipient.  The entire list of
   security considerations is beyond the scope of this document, but
   some significant considerations are listed here.

   One should place no more trust in the data associated with a key than
   in than the method by which it was obtained and in the
   trustworthiness of the entity asserting an association with the key.
   Any data associated with a key that is obtained in an untrusted
   manner should be treated with skepticism.

   Private and symmetric keys MUST be protected from disclosure to
   unintended parties.  One recommended means of doing so is to encrypt
   JWKs or JWK Sets containing them by using the JWK or JWK Set value as
   the plaintext of a JWE.

   The security considerations in RFC 3447 [RFC3447] and RFC 6030
   [RFC6030] about protecting private and symmetric keys, key usage, and
   information leakage also apply to this specification.

   The security considerations in XML DSIG 2.0
   [W3C.CR-xmldsig-core2-20120124], about key representations also apply
   to this specification, other than those that are XML specific.

   The TLS Requirements in [JWS] also apply to this specification.

Appendix A.  Example JSON Web Key Sets

A.1.  Example Public Keys

   The following example JWK Set contains two public keys represented as
   JWKs: one using an Elliptic Curve algorithm and a second one using an
   RSA algorithm.  The first specifies that the key is to be used for
   encryption.  The second specifies that the key is to be used with the
   "RS256" algorithm.  Both provide a Key ID for key matching purposes.
   In both cases, integers are represented using the base64url encoding
   of their big endian representations.  (Long lines are broken are for
   display purposes only.)

C.2.  JWE Header

   The following example JWE Protected Header declares that:

   o  the Content Encryption Key is encrypted to the recipient using the
      PSE2-HS256+A128KW algorithm to produce the JWE Encrypted Key,

   o  the Salt Input ("p2s") value is [ 217, 96, 147, 112, 150, 117, 70,
      247, 127, 8, 155, 137, 174, 42, 80, 215 ],

   o  the Iteration Count ("p2c") value is 4096,

   o  the Plaintext is encrypted using the AES_128_CBC_HMAC_SHA_256
      algorithm to produce the Ciphertext, and

   o  the content type is application/jwk+json.

C.4.  Key Derivation

   Derive a key from a shared passphrase using the PBKDF2 algorithm with
   HMAC SHA-256 and the specified Salt and Iteration Count values and a
   128 bit requested output key size to produce the PBKDF2 Derived Key.
   This example uses the following passphrase:

     Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.

   The octets representing the passphrase are:

   [ 84, 104, 117, 115, 32, 102, 114, 111, 109, 32, 109, 121, 32, 108,
   105, 112, 115, 44, 32, 98, 121, 32, 121, 111, 117, 114, 115, 44, 32,
   109, 121, 32, 115, 105, 110, 32, 105, 115, 32, 112, 117, 114, 103,
   101, 100, 46 ]

   The Salt value (UTF8(Alg) || 0x00 || Salt Input) is:

   [ 80, 66, 69, 83, 50, 45, 72, 83, 50, 53, 54, 43, 65, 49, 50, 56, 75,
   87, 0, 217, 96, 147, 112, 150, 117, 70, 247, 127, 8, 155, 137, 174,
   42, 80, 215 ].

   The resulting PBKDF2 Derived Key value is:

   [ 110, 171, 169, 92, 129, 92, 109, 117, 233, 242, 116, 233, 170, 14,
   24, 75 ]

C.5.  Key Encryption

   Encrypt the CEK with the "A128KW" algorithm using the PBKDF2 Derived

   [[ to be removed by the RFC Editor before publication as an RFC ]]

   -25

   o  Updated WebCrypto reference to refer to W3C Last Call draft.

   -24

   o  Corrected the authentication tag value in the encrypted key
      example.

   o  Updated the JSON reference to RFC 7159.

   -23

   o  No changes were made, other than to the version number and date.

   -22

   o  Corrected RFC 2119 terminology usage.

   o  Replaced references to draft-ietf-json-rfc4627bis with RFC 7158.

   -21

Jones                    Expires October 2, 2014               [Page 36]
Internet-Draft                     JWK                        March 2014

   o  Replaced the "key_ops" values "wrap" and "unwrap" with "wrapKey"
      and "unwrapKey" to match the "KeyUsage" values defined in the
      current Web Cryptography API [WebCrypto] editor's draft.

   o  Compute the PBES2 salt parameter as (UTF8(Alg) || 0x00 || Salt
      Input), where the "p2s" Header Parameter encodes the Salt Input
      value and Alg is the "alg" Header Parameter value.

   o  Changed some references from being normative to informative,
      addressing issue #90.

   -20

   o  Renamed "use_details" to "key_ops" (key operations).

   o  Clarified that "use" is meant for public key use cases, "key_ops"
      is meant for use cases in which public, private, or symmetric keys
      may be present, and that "use" and "key_ops" should not be used
      together.

   o  Replaced references to RFC 4627 with draft-ietf-json-rfc4627bis,
      addressing issue #90.

   -19

   o  Added optional "use_details" (key use details) JWK member.

   o  Reordered the key selection parameters.

   -18

   o  Changes to address editorial and minor issues #68, #69, #73, #74,
      #76, #77, #78, #79, #82, #85, #89, and #135.

   o  Added and used Description registry fields.

   -17

   o  Refined the "typ" and "cty" definitions to always be MIME Media
      Types, with the omission of "application/" prefixes recommended
      for brevity, addressing issue #50.

   o  Added an example encrypting an RSA private key with
      "PBES2-HS256+A128KW" and "A128CBC-HS256".  Thanks to Matt Miller
      for producing this!

   o  Processing rules occurring in both JWS and JWK are now referenced
      in JWS by JWK, rather than duplicated, addressing issue #57.

Jones                    Expires October 2, 2014               [Page 37]
Internet-Draft                     JWK                        March 2014

   o  Terms used in multiple documents are now defined in one place and
      incorporated by reference.  Some lightly used or obvious terms
      were also removed.  This addresses issue #58.

   -16

   o  Changes to address editorial and minor issues #41, #42, #43, #47,
      #51, #67, #71, #76, #80, #83, #84, #85, #86, #87, and #88.

   -15

   o  Changes to address editorial issues #48, #64, #65, #66, and #91.

   -14

   o  Relaxed language introducing key parameters since some parameters
      are applicable to multiple, but not all, key types.

   -13

   o  Applied spelling and grammar corrections.

   -12

   o  Stated that recipients MUST either reject JWKs and JWK Sets with
      duplicate member names or use a JSON parser that returns only the
      lexically last duplicate member name.

   -11

   o  Stated that when "kid" values are used within a JWK Set, different
      keys within the JWK Set SHOULD use distinct "kid" values.

   o  Added optional "x5u" (X.509 URL), "x5t" (X.509 Certificate
      Thumbprint), and "x5c" (X.509 Certificate Chain) JWK parameters.

   o  Added section on Encrypted JWK and Encrypted JWK Set Formats.

   o  Added a Parameter Information Class value to the JSON Web Key
      Parameters registry, which registers whether the parameter conveys
      public or private information.

   o  Registered "application/jwk+json" and "application/jwk-set+json"
      MIME types and "JWK" and "JWK-SET" typ header parameter values,
      addressing issue #21.

   o  No changes were made, other than to the version number and date.

   -09

   o  Expanded the scope of the JWK specification to include private and
      symmetric key representations, as specified by
      draft-jones-jose-json-private-and-symmetric-key-00.

   o  Defined that members that are not understood must be ignored.

   -08

   o  Changed the name of the JWK key type parameter from "alg" to "kty"
      to enable use of "alg" to indicate the particular algorithm that
      the key is intended to be used with.

   o  Clarified statements of the form "This member is OPTIONAL" to "Use
      of this member is OPTIONAL".

   o  Referenced String Comparison Rules in JWS.

   o  Added seriesInfo information to Internet Draft references.

   -07

   o  Changed the name of the JWK RSA modulus parameter from "mod" to
      "n" and the name of the JWK RSA exponent parameter from "xpo" to
      "e", so that the identifiers are the same as those used in RFC
      3447.

   -06

   o  Changed the name of the JWK RSA exponent parameter from "exp" to
      "xpo" so as to allow the potential use of the name "exp" for a
      future extension that might define an expiration parameter for
      keys.  (The "exp" name is already used for this purpose in the JWT
      specification.)

   o  Clarify that the "alg" (algorithm family) member is REQUIRED.

   o  Correct an instance of "JWK" that should have been "JWK Set".

   o  Applied changes made by the RFC Editor to RFC 6749's registry
      language to this specification.

      "JSON Web Key Set (JWK Set)" and to eliminate potential confusion
      between single keys and sets of keys.  As part of this change, the
      top-level member name for a set of keys was changed from "jwk" to
      "keys".

   o  Clarified that values with duplicate member names MUST be
