Flask JWT Extension throws exception when validating a Google JWT token

Question

I have a SPA application. Each client request contains an Authorization: Bearer <access_token> retrieved from google https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OpenIDConnect (google creates the JWT token)

When authenticating endpoints (graphQL ones by the way) with @jwt_required I got error The specified alg value is not allowed

I tried by tweaking configuration options as state here without luck. (basically setting JWT_ALGORITHM or JWT_PUBLIC_KEY to RS256 but then I get either JWT_PUBLIC_KEY must be set to use asymmetric cryptography algorithm "RS256" or Could not deserialize key data.

Here JWT google shape:

header:

  "alg": "RS256",
  "kid": "",
  "typ": "JWT"
}

body:

{
  "iss": "https://accounts.google.com",
  "azp": "some.apps.googleusercontent.com",
  "aud": "some.apps.googleusercontent.com",
  "sub": "some_uuid",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "email_verified": true,
  "at_hash": "",
  "name": "use_full_name",
  "picture": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/some",
  "given_name": "user_name",
  "family_name": "last_name",
  "locale": "en",
  "iat": 1572189191,
  "exp": 1572192791
}

any help appreciated! (keep trying though)
