-------------------------------------
Summary: Review and improve the way EC keys are handled in JOSE
code
Key: CXF-6728
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6728
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JAX-RS Security
Reporter: Sergey Beryozkin
Priority: Minor
The code which decodes/encodes JOSE EC key outputs needs to be reviewed. The
current code was meant to be a more optimal version of the code available in
Jose4J (which is actually a slightly improved version of the code found in
Santuario plus dealing with JOSE specific optimizations). This code needs to be
double-checked and if needed reverted to a version closer to the one found in
Jose4J.
Curves: it should be possible to deduce the values from the current EC key as
opposed to having users configure them explicitly.
Next,
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-cfrg-curves-00
has just come out, so I guess EC code will need to be updated accordingly.
I also recall that if EC keys are loaded from JKS then the default algorithm
needs be set correctly if EC signature/enc algo is not set, at the moment it is
always set to RS256 by default
