The concern here is about identifying keys authorized to sign JWS access tokens. The server-provided metadata that lists such keys has a single bucket that covers keys used for signing different things, so you don't get any security benefit from key isolation, and a compromise of any of the (other) keys listed by the server would allow the attacker to sign JWT access tokens that are accepted as valid. So in a sense this is not about which key was actually used, but rather which key is supposed to be used. > (4) I presume it's important that any resouree server rejection of the token > should be constant-time.
