JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption
Description
Read and write JSON Web Keys (JWK, rfc7517), generate and verify JSON
Web Signatures (JWS, rfc7515) and encode/decode JSON Web Tokens (JWT, rfc7519)
. These standards provide
modern signing and encryption formats that are natively supported by browsers
via the JavaScript WebCryptoAPI ,
and used by services like OAuth 2.0, LetsEncrypt, and Github Apps.
