Interface JWSProtectedHeader

JWS protected header fields we care about. Additional fields are allowed (and preserved on parse) but are not interpreted by this module.

interface JWSProtectedHeader {
    alg: string;
    kid?: string;
    typ?: string;
    cty?: string;
    [key: string]: unknown;
}
