There is where focusing just on Google at this time makes things simpler.
There is a Google API client library for validating ID tokens sent by
Google. It makes that part quite simple. See

 https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/backend-auth

The more general problem would be much more interesting but I need to learn
more about how the OIDC community thinks the keys will be made available in
secure and scalable ways.

Thanks,
