#### JSON Web Keys

The `./.well-known/jwks.json` endpoint hosts the JSON Web Keys. It contains a JSON Web Key object containing information about the ID Check encryption key. This is used by STS for encrypting the service token sent to the `GET /async/activeSession` endpoint in the Authorization header. The encryption algorithm is `RSA-OAEP-256`, see [STS technical design](https://govukverify.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DCMAW/pages/3844964353/Strategic+App+App+calls+a+protected+service) for the public key requirements.

The encryption key is created in AWS KMS. The infrastructure code lives in the `./template.yaml`.
