go-varsig

go-varsig is an implementation of the varsig specification

Algorithm naming

While there is no strict need for compatibility with JWA/JWT/JWE/JWS, all attempts are made to keep the algorithm names here consisten with the table provided in section 3.1 of RFC7518 titled "JSON Web Algorithms. In cases where there is no equivalent name for an algorithm, a best-effort attempt at creating a name in the spirit of that specification is made.

It should also be noted that algorithm in this context might in fact be a pseudonym - for cryptographical signing algorithms that require the signed data to be hashed first, these names commonly refer to the combination of that signing algorithm and the hash algorithm.
