## Overview

JSON Web Keys (JWKs) are used by OAuth 2.0 client applications to authenticate with Okta using the `private_key_jwt` client authentication method. This is an asymmetric authentication mechanism where the application possesses a private key and Okta stores the corresponding public key. A service application can have multiple JWKs configured for key rotation purposes.

JWKs are represented as Okta_JWK nodes in BloodHound.
