This specification defines a method for computing a hash value over a
JSON Web Key (JWK). It defines which fields in a JWK are used in the
hash computation, the method of creating a canonical form for those
fields, and how to convert the resulting Unicode string into a byte
sequence to be hashed. The resulting hash value can be used for
identifying or selecting the key represented by the JWK that is the
subject of the thumbprint.
