Detailed Description

Various cryptographic algorithms when working with JWT.

JWT (JSON Web Tokens) signatures are typically used as the payload for a JWS (JSON Web Signature) or JWE (JSON Web Encryption). Both of these use various cryptographic as specified by RFC7518 and are exposed through the a JOSE Header which points to one of the JWA (JSON Web Algorithms)(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7518#section-3.1)
