# RFC-0024 — JWKS Overlap Protocol

**RESERVED.** Seeded by
[RFC-0022](./RFC-0022-key-rotation-choreography.md) §4 (JWKS dual-publish).
Will canonicalise `Cache-Control` semantics, `If-None-Match` / `ETag`
flow, the verifier mandatory-refetch-on-unknown-`kid` rule (RFC-0022
§4.1 V-1 is the minimum binding contract until this RFC ratifies), and
negative-cache numerics.
