> 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
