The JSON Web Token (JWT)<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token> specification and the OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Token Profiles<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-jwt-bearer> specification are now IETF standards track documents in the OAuth working group<http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/oauth/>. These versions are based upon the individual submission versions draft-jones-json-web-token-10<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-json-web-token-10> and draft-jones-oauth-jwt-bearer-04<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-oauth-jwt-bearer-04> with no normative changes.  The JWT specification builds upon the JWS<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-signature>, JWE<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-encryption>, JWK<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-key>, and JWA<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-algorithms> specifications in the JOSE working group<http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/jose/>.
