 ### Create Protocol / Federation RSA key pairs
 
-During the authentication flow, generated ID Token and Access Token will be in a form of signed JSON Web token (JWS).
-Because of the signing part, you need to create a public/private RSA key pair. This public/private RSA key pair
-is referred to as "OIDC protocol" keys. On the other hand, if you will be using OpenID Federation capabilities,
-you should create separate key pair dedicated for OpenID Federation operations, like signing Entity Statement JWS.
-Below are sample commands to create key pairs with default file names, both "protocol" and "federation" version.
