Research direction

Start by locating the FAPI JWS algorithm declarations and comparing the hard-coded algorithms with the IANA registry. Check whether this issue duplicates existing work before proceeding. Done means the applicable FAPI algorithm references no longer rely on hard-coded values and remain aligned with the registry.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

(This might be a dup)

Hard-coded algs still seem to exist in FAPI for JWS algorithms.
We should be moving to reference the IANA registry.
