RSA
IESG
Registry Context
RSA is the JWK key type value for RSA keys. A JWK representing an RSA key uses `RSA` as its `kty` value.
Technical Summary
RFC 7518 defines `RSA` as a `kty` parameter value for JWKs. Section 6.3 states that an RSA JWK has a `kty` member value of `RSA`.
When Used
When a JWK represents an RSA key.
Normative Requirements
JWK producers
MUST
1RFC 7517 - Section 4.1
include the `kty` member in the JWK.
This member MUST be present in a JWK.
Validation Guidance
error
Verify that every JWK includes a `kty` member.
error
Verify that a JWK representing an RSA key has the case-sensitive `kty` value `RSA`.
