Thank you Tom! This is all new to me and I’d missed that distinction. I hope you don’t mind a follow up question.
Is it your understanding that using SHA-256 or SHA3-256 as the “digestType” in the Livecode function would meet the service requirement for RS-256 or is there something else I’m missing?

I believe RS256 refers to RSA with SHA 256. messagedigest is the function you want to look up for hashing algorithms.

I need to access a web service (Box.com<http://box.com/><http://Box.com<http://box.com/>>) from my Livecode app using JSON web tokens. The service documentation states that they only support RS256, RS384, and RS512 for hashing the signature in the token. Unfortunately, in the 139 options and variations listed by the Livecode CipherNames function I don’t see these. Have I missed or misunderstood something or am I out of luck for using Livecode for this task?
