Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

Working with Ethereum blockchain, usage of RS256 for signing is not possible - therefore, the JWT token cannot be generated in a decentralized way.
If signed JWT is a requirement, other methods should be allowed (Ethereum private key signing).

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Allow ECDSA for signing the JWT token.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

We are using an alternative, where the RSA signed JWT is additionally signed by Ethereum private keys of both parties. (Making the RSA signing of the JWT superflous?)
