Overview
RFC 9278, “JWK Thumbprint URI”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2022 by M. Jones, K. Yasuda. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification registers a kind of URI that represents a JSON Web Key (JWK) Thumbprint value. JWK Thumbprints are defined in RFC 7638. This enables JWK Thumbprints to be used, for instance, as key identifiers in contexts requiring URIs.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
