Description vijaybh 2014-05-06 06:00:52 UTC 
In Section 18 the spec allows use of the value "RS1" for the "alg" field in a JWK. However this algorithm is not registered in either JWA or this spec. The registration needs to be added:

•	Algorithm Name: "RS1"
•	Algorithm Description: RSASSA-PKCS-v1_5 using SHA-1
•	Algorithm Usage Location(s): "alg"
•	JOSE Implementation Requirements: Deprecated
•	Change Controller: W3C Web Cryptography Working Group
•	Specification Document(s): [[ This Document ]]
 
Also we suggest labeling "HS1" as "deprecated" instead of "prohibited".
