RSA-OAEP: Constructed

The test vector (i.e. seed and label) has been constructed so that the padded plaintext em has some special properties.

ACCEPT

Your service should accept this one.

Stated as the outcome to assert against, so a suite compares with this rather than hardcoding a result and getting it backwards.

The test vector (i.e. seed and label) has been constructed so that the padded plaintext em has some special properties. Demonstrated by 61 test vectors across 12 vector documents in Project Wycheproof.

Test keys only. Nothing here is a statement about any particular service: the expected outcome above is what an application ought to do, not evidence that yours does.

Reference

URL or embedded key?

Your app needs the public key to check a token. It can fetch it from a URL at runtime, or carry it as a file. Both are normal. The trade is always the same one: who controls rotation.

SuitsA signer that rotates keysOffline, air-gapped, or pinned

Use the URL when the signer rotates its keys, which is what every identity provider does. That is why it became the norm, and it is usually a one-line config change.

Embed the key when you cannot make a network call while checking a token, or when you want your app pinned to one key so a compromised endpoint could not introduce another. Export the PEM from the Keysets tab.

One catch worth knowing: Spring Boot's public-key-location only loads RSA keys. An ES256 or EdDSA key needs a custom decoder, or the URL.
