Feature Request: support of other algorithms for signing #17

Closed tilo closed 5 years ago

tilo commented 5 years ago

https://github.com/jwt/ruby-jwt supports a lot of other algorithms, e.g. RS-, ES-, PS-*

It would be awesome if the configuration of this gem would allow for using different algorithms

specifying the algorithm via ENV
more modular approach to allow using different algorithms in the code

I'm reluctant to add new algorithms if there is no real need. I mean, for a security related library, having less lines of code means having less attack surface. Could you share your use case for this new feature?

Closing because the lack of feedback, but feel free to add more comments if you are still interested in this issue.
