@Immutable
public final class JWSAlgorithm
extends Algorithm

JSON Web Signature (JWS) algorithm name, represents the alg header parameter in JWS objects. Also used to represent integrity algorithm (ia) header parameters in JWE objects. This class is immutable.

Includes constants for the following standard JWS algorithm names:

• HS256
• HS384
• HS512
• RS256
• RS384
• RS512
• ES256
• ES384
• ES512
• PS256
• PS384
• PS512

Additional JWS algorithm names can be defined using the constructors.
