Description

At some point, references to JARM where removed.
But in section 5.10 there is the following

If the Wallet requires an encrypted Authorization Response, it SHOULD specify supported encryption algorithms using the authorization_encryption_alg_values_supported and authorization_encryption_enc_values_supported parameters.

which references authorization_encryption_alg_values_supported & authorization_encryption_enc_values_supported, without providing details how those two are defined.

I was wondering whether there should be a reference pointing to the JARM, just for the definition of those attributes, or at least provide their definition in OpenId4VP.

Research direction

Start with section 5.10 of the OpenID4VP specification and compare its encryption-parameter wording with the JARM removal in pull request 523. Trace where the two parameter names were previously defined, then clarify the specification with either an appropriate reference or self-contained definitions, and verify that both parameters are unambiguous.
