  1. W3C WebCrypto Request to JOSE for JWK Private and Symmetric Key Representations Mike Jones November 7, 2012

  2. W3C WebCrypto Use Case • W3C WebCrypto WG developing JavaScript APIs for crypto operations • Intended to enable efficient JavaScript JOSE implementations, among other scenarios • Some WebCrypto APIs use key representations • Including JWKs • Currently an asymmetry for JWK • Other formats can represent public, private, and symmetric keys • JWK only defines public key representation

  3. WebCrypto Request to JOSE • WebCrypto WG requests that JOSE define and standardize representations for all three types of keys: • Public • Private • Symmetric • They will likely use the IANA registry to define the remaining two if we don’t

  4. Decision Needed by JOSE WG • Do we want to define the additional representations? • Potential starting point already exists: • draft-jones-jose-json-private-key
