Messages - 4.2 JWK and X509 format support

Issue #633 resolved
Edmund Jay created an issue

The spec does not specify whether JWK or X509 certificates must be supported so there may be interoperability problems with asymmetric signature verification and encryption due lack of common support by the server and client.

    As decided at the 22-Oct-12 working group meeting at Google, OPs must support X.509 certificates.

  2. Michael Jones

    The remaining open issue is whether to define how to support X.509 bare keys (or X.509 RFC 5280 SubjectPublicKeyInfo values) or whether to just require the use of JWK if bare keys are needed.

  3. Michael Jones

    The identified issue has been resolved in favor of X.509.

    Whether to support RFC 5280 SubjectPublicKeyInfo values is a separate issue.
