In the case where I generate the keypair on the fly I do not have an URL to put in x5u. And a cert in not a public key. I want bare keys. I don't know how x5u and x5c help here.
I have the problem that I don't know how to convert (exp,mod) into a pubkey on one platform (Firefox). I think that PEM is easier. I think the same might be true an other platforms too. Another reason I think that PEM is better is that there are command line tools to produce PEM-encoded keys while I don't know any tool to produce (exp, mod). --Axel 2012/10/24 Mike Jones <[email protected]> > To be clear, JWS and JWE already support the use of PEM encoded keys > through the "x5c" and "x5u" parameters.
