The JSON Web Key (JWK) Thumbprint specification [RFC 
7638<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7638.html>] defines a method for 
computing a hash value over a JSON Web Key (JWK) [RFC 
7517<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7517.html>] and encoding that hash in a 
URL-safe manner. Kristina Yasuda<https://twitter.com/kristinayasuda> and I have 
just created the JWK Thumbprint 
URI<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-jones-oauth-jwk-thumbprint-uri-00.html>
 specification, which defines how to represent JWK Thumbprints as URIs. This 
enables JWK Thumbprints to be communicated in contexts requiring URIs, 
including in specific JSON Web Token (JWT) [RFC 
7519<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7519.html>] claims.



Use cases for this specification were developed in the OpenID Connect Working 
Group<https://openid.net/wg/connect/> of the OpenID Foundation. Specifically, 
its use is planned in future versions of the Self-Issued OpenID Provider 
v2<https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-self-issued-v2-1_0.html> 
specification.



The specification is available at:
