Support for JSON Web Signature 2020

[paullatzelsperger]

Hey, we (the Eclipse Dataspace Components project) are already using your Titanium library in our projects (https://github.com/eclipse-edc and https://github.com/eclipse-tractusx), and we are now exploring the use of VerifiableCredentials and VerifiablePresentations.

For that we would love to use your iron-verifiable-credentials lib, because it would fit our needs quite well. However, the way things are looking, we will likely have to use JSON Web Keys and Signatures for signing and verifying instead of EdDSA/Ed25519.

My question is thus:

Do you have any plans to support JSON Web Signature 2020? If so, we would be very interested in any details you can share.

If you don't have any plans yet, we would be willing to contribute this functionality in a PR, although if we do, we would love to have an alignment on how to best do this beforehand.

Are you interested?

I'm sorry for the late answer, for some reason I didn't get notified. Not sure if it's still relevant, there is no plan to support JWS 2020.

A goal of this lib is to provide common logic and primitives that can be used to easily implement a cryptographic suite on top of it. The latest version provides support to implement Issuer and Verifier for VC data model compatible suites and for data integrity suites. Please see updated README.
