Hi, thanks for your nice write-up for asymmetric JWTs. Is it also possible to use the JWT signing method with ECDSA cryptography (ES256)? By using this instead of the RSA scheme a more compact but also more secure token signing would be possible. I haven't found any article on the web so far, maybe you could help me out here?
Thanks
Hello, thank you too for the interest in this topic.
Currently, I don't know if it's possible to use ES256. But it's an interesting research idea that I will follow up on and return to this discussion with an answer.

This would be nice, thank you!
I apologize for the delay in responding. I found the following code snippets about ES256: gist.github.com/tpeczek/27a14c3dcf....
I'll try that and write a post if I successfully sign the JWT using that method.
