      Description

      https://stash.forgerock.org/projects/COMMONS/repos/forgerock-commons/browse/json-web-token recommends symmetric keys for encryption/decryption. The JweAlgorithm used by IDM is defined in TokenHandlerService#getJwtTokenHandler. It is currently an asymmetric cipher: JweAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP_256. The likely replacement is JweAlgorithm.ECDH_ES. Any choice should be confirmed with Neil Madden. Switching from asymmetric to symmetric encryption will likely result in a performance boost.
