It may contain the key ID, or like many things OAuth, it may know which key to 
use by other means.  For instance, it may be supplied via dynamic registration.

Subject: [jose] Key Identifier

Hi all, 

In Appendix A.1 of the JWS document there is an example with an HMAC SHA-256 
keyed message digest.

I would have assumed that the header contains the key id so that the receipient 
can actually verify it.

Ciao
Hannes
