JSON Web Signature (JWS) represents content secured with digital
signatures or Message Authentication Codes (MACs) using JSON-based
data structures. Cryptographic algorithms and identifiers for use
with this specification are described in the separate JSON Web
Algorithms (JWA) specification and an IANA registry defined by that

separate JSON Web Encryption (JWE) specification.
This document is a product of the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
