Summary
The JSON Web Key (JWK) data structure provides a convenient JSON representation for sets of public keys utilizing either the Elliptic Curve or RSA families of algorithms.
The following example JWK contains two public keys: one using an Elliptic Curve algorithm and a second one using an RSA algorithm.
