Hi Nat & John,

I tried to find out how signing & encryption algorithms are determined in the JAR context. 

I just found this note in the history for -07: "Stopped talking about request_object_signing_alg”

I assume you assume this is done via client registration parameters registered in https://www.iana.org/assignments/oauth-parameters/oauth-parameters.xhtml#client-metadata? Why doesn’t JAR state so?

What is about algorithms supported by the AS? The respective parameters, such as request_object_signing_alg_values_supported are not registered yet in https://www.iana.org/assignments/oauth-parameters/oauth-parameters.xhtml#authorization-server-metadata.

best regards,
Torsten.
