+- it is not only validating the signatures, it is making sure the JWE/JWS is syntactically correct,
+  e.g. not having duplicated header parameters between protected/unprotected or per-recipient
+  headers, it does the "crit" member check to make sure extensions are handled correctly
 - it is providing Key and KeyStore abstractions
 - there is JSON Web Encryption support
 - there is no asynchronous API since node crypto is ultimately entirely synchronous
