> Key: OLTU-201
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OLTU-201
> Project: Apache Oltu
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JWT
> Reporter: Antonio Sanso

>
> The JWS validation is currently broken.
> The validation fails in certain cases even if the jwt is valid.
> The problem is due to some json reordering on reconstructing the jws to validate.
> E.g. if the header of the JWS is
> {code}
> {"kid":"bilbo.baggins@hobbiton.example", "alg":"RS256"}
> {code}
> the validation algorithm reconstruct the jws upon validation as
> {code}
> { "alg":"RS256", "kid":"bilbo.baggins@hobbiton.example"}
> {code}
> and consequently the signature would not match any longer
