1.  Introduction

   Various systems related to authentication and identity use URIs to
   identify values and value types.  This document creates and registers
   an IETF URN Sub-namespace, as documented in [RFC3553], to map claims
   specified in the JSON Web Token Claims registry to URIs.

2.  IANA Considerations

2.1.  Sub-Namespace Registration of urn:ietf:params:jwt-claims

   Per [RFC3553], this document registers a new URN Sub-namespace,
   urn:ietf:params:jwt-claims.

   *  Registry name: jwt-claims

   *  Specification: [this document]

   *  Repository: The [IANA.JWT.Claims] registry as established by
      Section 10.1 of [RFC7519]

   *  Index value: values subordinate to urn:ietf:params:jwt-claims are
      of the form urn:ietf:params:jwt-claims:<value> with <value> as the
      index value.  The index value is determined from the "Claim Name"
      property of registrations in the "JSON Web Token Claims" registry.

3.  Security Considerations

   There are no additional security considerations beyond those already
   inherent to URNs or JSON Web Tokens.  Security considerations for
   URNs in general can be found in [RFC8141].  Security considerations
   for JWTs in general can be found in [RFC7519].
