If the JWK creation type Generate is selected, the following fields become active:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Key Type (Key Type) | Specifies what type the JWK to be created is: • RSA: RFC 3447 (Public-Key Cryptography Standards PKCS) • EC: Elliptic Curve (DSS) • OCT: Octet Sequence (Symmetric Key) • OKP: Octet Key Pair (RFC 8037) Algorithms/curve values vary according to these values. |
| Key Use Type (Key Use) | Specifies whether the JWK will be used for signing/signature verification or encryption/decryption. |
| Key Size (Key Size) | The length of the key to be created in bytes. |
| Curve | The curve type of the JWK to be created. |
| Algorithm (Algorithm) | The algorithm of the JWK to be created. |
| Key Id (Key Id) | Specifies how the id of the JWK to be created will be generated. |
JWK Association
When a JWK is created, the system automatically records which source it is associated with based on the source type. This relationship is used to track which certificate, key, or keystore the JWK was created from.Association Types
When a JWK is created, if one of the following source types is selected, the relationship is automatically created:| Source Type | Associated Source | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Convert from Keystore | Keystore | JWK is created by converting from the specified keystore. |
| Convert from Public Key | Public Key | JWK is created by converting from the specified public key. |
| Convert from Private Key | Private Key | JWK is created by converting from the specified private key. |
| Convert from Certificate | Certificate | JWK is created by converting from the specified certificate. |
Relationship Information in JWK List
The following information is displayed for each JWK in the JWK list:- Creation Type: The source type from which the JWK was created (Keystore, Certificate, Public Key, Private Key, etc.)
Relationship Information in JWK Detail Screen
In the JWK detail screen, which source the JWK is associated with is displayed, along with the information “This JWK was created with [Source Type]”.If there is an associated source, the source information and the option to remove the relationship are displayed in the JWK detail screen.
