   Regarding DefaultPublicKeyProvider.computeKid - although the kid header is 
standard, it's value is not. There was no previous implementation so I had to 
pick something... I went with the standard JWK Thumbprint of the key (RFC 7638) 
- the calculation is standard, and is commonly used as a kid (though not 
required).
   
   The implementation is self-contained in the class, and tested against an 
external thumbprint calculator (added a test validating that the results are 
equal). Should be backwards compatible with any previous JWT that doesn't have 
a kid because that flow is unaffected. It's also unrelated to the JWKS provider 
which already had it's kids which have not changed. I didn't test the ED case, 
since ED keys don't work at all in James afaict, but left that piece of code 
for completeness and hopefully future-compatibility.
   
   So the only thing that can potentially break is if someone is using pem keys 
(not JWKS) that specify a kid (even though they were not supported in James 
until now) using a calculation other than the JWK thumbprint one. They will 
have to generate new tokens, though it's not very likely there are many out 
there, if at all.
