Creating a JWS Signature

How to define the configuration for a JWS Signature.

About this task

To generate JWS data, the JSON Web sign action requires a JWS Signature. The following algorithms are supported to secure the JWS.
  • HS256
  • HS384
  • HS512
  • RS256
  • RS384
  • RS512
  • ES256
  • ES384
  • ES512
  • PS256
  • PS384
  • PS512
