= Signature SPI
|
|
|
|
The Signature SPI makes it possible to plug-in additional signature algorithms. This enables additional signatures and also enables changing how signatures are generated. For example, using this allows using an HSM device to sign tokens.

= New Signature Algorithms
|
|
|
|
Alongside the Signature SPI there is now also support for additional signature algorithms.
|
|
|
|
Keycloak now has support for RS256, RS384, RS512, ES256, ES384, ES512, HS256, HS384 and HS512.
|
|
|
|
Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ES256/384/512) are very interesting as they provide similar
|
|
security properties as RSA signatures, but use significantly less CPU.
|
|
|
|
HMAC (HS256/384/512) are also very useful when you do not want your application to verify the signature itself.
|
|
Since these are symmetric signatures only Keycloak is able to verify the signature, which requires the
|
|
application to use the token introspection endpoint to verify tokens.

= Better Audience Support for OpenID Connect clients
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to specify the audiences in the tokens issued for OpenID Connect clients. There is also support for verification
|
|
of audience on the adapter side.

|
= Minor improvements
|
|
|
|
* Added LocaleSelector SPI, which allows to change the way how the locale will be resolved for a particular request. Thanks to https://github.com/knutz3n[knutz3n]
|
|
* Added an authenticator to automatically link Identity Provider identity to an existing account after first Idp authentication. Thanks to https://github.com/slominskir[slominskir]
