#187: Define algorithm names for symmetric keys in for JWK
Comment (by [email protected]): A JOSE working group decision was made early on to only support authenticated encryption algorithms. Neither of AES CBC or AES CTR are authenticated encryption algorithms. There are registered algorithms for the composite AES-CBC-HMAC-SHA2 algorithms, which do provide authenticated encryption, which could be used when applicable. That being said, it would be fine for non-JOSE specifications to define and register the values A{128,192,256}CTR and A{128,192,256}CBC. For instance, a W3C WebCrypto specification could do this. But I believe that JOSE specs defining these values is out of scope. Therefore, I believe that this issue should be closed as "wontfix". -- -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: draft-ietf-jose-json-web- [email protected] | [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: json-web- | Version: algorithms | Resolution: Severity: - | Keywords: | -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Ticket URL: <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/jose/trac/ticket/187#comment:2> jose <http://tools.ietf.org/jose/> _______________________________________________ jose mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/jose
