jwx
Implementation of various JWx technologies
Status
Done
PR/issues welcome., Package name, Notes, -----------------------------------------------------------, -------------------------------------------------, jwt, RFC 7519, jwk, RFC 7517 + RFC 7638, jwa, RFC 7518, jws, RFC 7515, jwe, RFC 7516, ### In progress:
- jwe - more algorithms
Why?
My goal was to write a server that heavily uses JWK and JWT. At first glance
the libraries that already exist seemed sufficient, but soon I realized that
- To completely implement the protocols, I needed the entire JWT, JWK, JWS, JWE (and JWA, by necessity).
- Most of the libraries that existed only deal with a subset of the various JWx specifications that were necessary to implement their specific needs
For example, a certain library looks like it had most of JWS, JWE, JWK covered, but then it lacked the ability to include private claims in its JWT responses. Another library had support of all the private claims, but completely lacked in its flexibility to generate various different response formats.
Because I was writing the server side (and the client side for testing), I needed the entire JOSE toolset to properly implement my server, and they needed to be flexible enough to fulfill the entire spec that I was writing.
So here's go-jwx. This library is extensible, customizable, and hopefully well organized to the point that it is easy for you to slice and dice it.
As of this writing (Nov 2015), it's still lacking a few of the algorithms for JWE that are described in JWA (which I believe to be less frequently used), but in general you should be able to do pretty much everything allowed in the specifications.
Notes for users of pre-1.0.0 release
The API has been reworked quite substantially between pre- and post 1.0.0 releases. Please check out the Changes file (or the diff, if you are into that sort of thing)
Synopsis
JWT
See the examples here as well: https://github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jwt
func ExampleJWT() {
const aLongLongTimeAgo = 233431200
t := jwt.New()
t.Set(jwt.SubjectKey, `https://github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jwt`)
t.Set(jwt.AudienceKey, `Golang Users`)
t.Set(jwt.IssuedAtKey, time.Unix(aLongLongTimeAgo, 0))
t.Set(`privateClaimKey`, `Hello, World!`)
buf, err := json.MarshalIndent(t, "", " ")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("failed to generate JSON: %s\n", err)
return
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", buf)
fmt.Printf("aud -> '%s'\n", t.Audience())
fmt.Printf("iat -> '%s'\n", t.IssuedAt().Format(time.RFC3339))
if v, ok := t.Get(`privateClaimKey`); ok {
fmt.Printf("privateClaimKey -> '%s'\n", v)
}
fmt.Printf("sub -> '%s'\n", t.Subject())
key, err := rsa.GenerateKey(rand.Reader, 2048)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to generate private key: %s", err)
return
}
{
// Signing a token (using raw rsa.PrivateKey)
signed, err := jwt.Sign(t, jwa.RS256, key)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to sign token: %s", err)
return
}
_ = signed
}
{
// Signing a token (using JWK)
jwkKey, err := jwk.New(key)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to create JWK key: %s", err)
return
}
signed, err := jwt.Sign(t, jwa.RS256, jwkKey)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to sign token: %s", err)
return
}
_ = signed
}
}
JWT (with OpenID claims)
jwt package can work with token types other than the default one.
For OpenID claims, use the token created by openid.New(), or
use the jwt.WithOpenIDClaims(). If you need to use other specialized
claims, use jwt.WithToken() to specify the exact token type
func Example_openid() {
const aLongLongTimeAgo = 233431200
t := openid.New()
t.Set(jwt.SubjectKey, `https://github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jwt`)
t.Set(jwt.AudienceKey, `Golang Users`)
t.Set(jwt.IssuedAtKey, time.Unix(aLongLongTimeAgo, 0))
t.Set(`privateClaimKey`, `Hello, World!`)
addr := openid.NewAddress()
addr.Set(openid.AddressPostalCodeKey, `105-0011`)
addr.Set(openid.AddressCountryKey, `日本`)
addr.Set(openid.AddressRegionKey, `東京都`)
addr.Set(openid.AddressLocalityKey, `港区`)
addr.Set(openid.AddressStreetAddressKey, `芝公園 4-2-8`)
t.Set(openid.AddressKey, addr)
buf, err := json.MarshalIndent(t, "", " ")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("failed to generate JSON: %s\n", err)
return
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", buf)
t2, err := jwt.ParseBytes(buf, jwt.WithOpenIDClaims())
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("failed to parse JSON: %s\n", err)
return
}
if _, ok := t2.(openid.Token); !ok {
fmt.Printf("using jwt.WithOpenIDClaims() creates an openid.Token instance")
return
}
}
JWK
See the examples here as well: https://godoc.org/github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jwk#pkg-examples
Create a JWK file from RSA public key:
import(
"crypto/rand"
"crypto/rsa"
"encoding/json"
"log"
"os"
"github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jwk"
)
func main() {
privkey, err := rsa.GenerateKey(rand.Reader, 2048)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to generate private key: %s", err)
return
}
key, err := jwk.New(&privkey.PublicKey)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to create JWK: %s", err)
return
}
jsonbuf, err := json.MarshalIndent(key, "", " ")
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to generate JSON: %s", err)
return
}
os.Stdout.Write(jsonbuf)
}
Parse and use a JWK key:
import(
"log"
"github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jwk"
)
func main() {
set, err := jwk.Fetch("https://foobar.domain/jwk.json")
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to parse JWK: %s", err)
return
}
// If you KNOW you have exactly one key, you can just
// use set.Keys[0]
keys := set.LookupKeyID("mykey")
if len(keys) == 0 {
log.Printf("failed to lookup key: %s", err)
return
}
var key interface{}
if err := keys[0].Raw(&key); err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to create public key: %s", err)
return
}
// Use key for jws.Verify() or whatever
}
JWS
See also VerifyWithJWK and VerifyWithJKU
import(
"crypto/rand"
"crypto/rsa"
"log"
"github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jwa"
"github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jws"
)
func main() {
privkey, err := rsa.GenerateKey(rand.Reader, 2048)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to generate private key: %s", err)
return
}
buf, err := jws.Sign([]byte("Lorem ipsum"), jwa.RS256, privkey)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to created JWS message: %s", err)
return
}
// When you received a JWS message, you can verify the signature
// and grab the payload sent in the message in one go:
verified, err := jws.Verify(buf, jwa.RS256, &privkey.PublicKey)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to verify message: %s", err)
return
}
log.Printf("signed message verified! -> %s", verified)
}
