This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
When importing/exporting keys, some parameters will always be respected (eg: "alg" in JWK, the Algorithm OID in SPKI/PKCS8), but other parameters MAY be ignored. For example: - When importing JWK, unknown parameters are ignored, rather than fatal. - When importing SPKI/PKCS8, some parameters in the algorithm field may not be checked: - For example, the saltLength field of the RSASSA-PSS-params is not checked, nor is the trailerField This is mostly to call attention to the fact that some parameters are explicitly NOT handled, and not simply spec omissions.
I support the proposal to add an informative note as suggested.
