<p class="MsoNormal">As promised, I have split the contents of the JWT spec <a href="http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-jones-json-web-token-01.html">
draft-jones-json-web-token-01</a> into two simpler specs:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <a href="http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-jones-json-web-token-02.html">
draft-jones-json-web-token-02</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <a href="http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-jones-json-web-signature-00.html">
draft-jones-json-web-signature-00</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These should have introduced no semantic changes from the previous spec.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I then applied the feedback that I received since JWT -01 and created revised versions of the split specs:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <a href="http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-jones-json-web-token-03.html">
draft-jones-json-web-token-03</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <a href="http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-jones-json-web-signature-01.html">
draft-jones-json-web-signature-01</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The only breaking change introduced was that x5t (X.509 Certificate Thumbprint) is now a SHA-1 hash of the DER-encoded certificate, rather than a SHA-256 has, as SHA-1 is the prevailing existing practice for certificate thumbprint calculations.
See the Document History sections for details on each change made.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">.txt and .xml versions are also available. I plan to publish these as IETF drafts once the submission window re-opens on Monday. Feedback welcome!<o:p></o:p></p>
