To break that out: JWS: 36 = 12 JWS "alg" values * 3 header protection levels (some/all/none) JWE: 288 = 16 "alg" values * 6 "enc" values * 3 header protection levels Plus 2 for multi-signer and multi-recipient So it seems I mis-counted, and there are actually 326 tests. (I tried to be thorough!) If you tried to do something similar with CMS or IKE, I think the combinatorics would be similar. The TLS cipher suite registry is of comparable size, and less organized (flat list instead of separate parameters).
