This is already something in mainstream authentication applications you host yourself on your own domain. We use Keycloak. I don't know why anyone would install a JavaScript library to do this. It's not that difficult.

I wish someone would have used keycloak at my place. They decided to write it all by hand instead.

Fair. I assume you mean asymmetric key cryptography and not JWKs in particular? JOSE is a pretty good library if you need the latter and you’re already working in JS

There's some degree of confusion in your comment. JWKs is a standard to represent cryptographic keys. It is an acronym for JSON Web key set.

> JOSE is a pretty good library (...)

JOSE is a set of standards that form a framework to securely transfer claims.
