Publication requested for JSON Web Token (JWT), OAuth Assertions, and JOSE specifications

Today, the OAuth Working Group requested publication of four specifications as proposed standards:

• JSON Web Token (JWT)
• Assertion Framework for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants
• SAML 2.0 Profile for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants
• JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants

This follows on the JOSE Working Group likewise requesting publication of the JSON Object Signing and Encryption specifications last month:

• JSON Web Signature (JWS)
• JSON Web Encryption (JWE)
• JSON Web Key (JWK)
• JSON Web Algorithms (JWA)

This means that the working groups have sent the specifications to the IESG for review, which is the next step towards them becoming IETF Standards — RFCs.
