The initial versions of the IETF JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) specifications are now available. They are:
- JSON Web Signature (JWS) — Digital signature/HMAC specification
- JSON Web Encryption (JWE) — Encryption specification
- JSON Web Key (JWK) — Public key specification
- JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) — Algorithms and identifiers specification
They are refactored from the previous individual submission versions to move algorithms and identifiers into the separate JSA specification, per the working group charter. Also, per the working group’s input, the terminology usage has been changed to no longer call both digital signatures and HMACs “signatures”. The JOSE versions contain no normative changes from the individual submission versions.
These specifications are available at:
