Re: [jose] JOSE implementation Interoperability events

Hi Jim, Anders

I was just planning to clarify where my interest was coming from :-),

I'd like to see more JWS/JWE sequences flowing between regular client 
and server applications which are not necessarily OAuth2 applications.

For example, I'd like to see a "Hello World" client written in C# 
posting a JOSE secured "HelloWorld" sequence to a Java server which 
processes it and makes the original "HelloWorld" available to the server.

But I'm sure the situations exist or will exist where OAuth2 clients and 
OIDC servers use/will use different JOSE libraries for 
signing/validating id tokens, etc.

So having some standard interoperability system where some text is 
submitted into a given library, the output is accepted by another 
library, and then somehow it is asserted that the 2nd library did not do 
a false positive validation, and that it correctly reproduced the 
encrypted text, can be useful.

But I guess it can be hard to set up.
If such an interoperability event can be set up then I'll be interested 
in attending, though in a more distant future, I'm not sure when the 
next Hackathon is but looks like it is coming soon :-)

Thanks, Sergey
