The "jku" (JWK Set URL) Header Parameter is a URI ([RFC 3986][RFC3986]) that refers to a resource for a set of JSON-encoded public keys, one of which corresponds to the key used to digitally sign the JWS. The keys MUST be encoded as a JWK Set ([JWK][]). The protocol used to acquire the resource MUST provide integrity protection; an HTTP GET request to retrieve the JWK Set MUST use Transport Layer Security (TLS) ([RFC 2818][RFC2818]) ([RFC 5246][RFC5246]); and the identity of the server MUST be validated, as per Section 6 of [RFC 6125][RFC6125]. Also, see Section 8 on TLS requirements. Use of this Header Parameter is OPTIONAL.
