Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) library

Supports JSON Web Signature (JWS), JSON Web Encryption (JWE), JSON Web Key (JWK) and JSON Web Token (JWT).

Supported JSON Web Algorithms

This package supports a lot of the algorithms defined in the standards.

Siging algorithms for JWS

• HS256 HMAC using SHA-256
• HS384 HMAC using SHA-384
• HS512 HMAC using SHA-512
• RS256 RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-256
• RS384 RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-384

• ES256 ECDSA using P-256 and SHA-256
• ES256K ECDSA using P-256K and SHA-256
• ES384 ECDSA using P-384 and SHA-384

Usage

Decode and verify a JWS

main() async {
    var encoded = "eyJhbGciOiJFUzUxMiJ9."
      "UGF5bG9hZA."
      "AdwMgeerwtHoh-l192l60hp9wAHZFVJbLfD_UxMi70cwnZOYaRI1bKPWROc-mZZq"
      "wqT2SI-KGDKB34XO0aw_7XdtAG8GaSwFKdCAPZgoXD2YBJZCPEX3xKpRwcdOO8Kp"
      "EHwJjyqOgzDO7iKvU8vcnwNrmxYbSW9ERBXukOXolLzeO_Jn";
    
    // create a JsonWebSignature from the encoded string
    var jws = JsonWebSignature.fromCompactSerialization(encoded);
    
    // extract the payload
    var payload = jws.unverifiedPayload;
    
    print("content of jws: ${payload.stringContent}");
    print("protected parameters: ${payload.protectedHeader.toJson()}");
    
    // create a JsonWebKey for verifying the signature
    var jwk = new JsonWebKey.fromJson({
        "kty": "EC",
        "crv": "P-521",
        "x": "AekpBQ8ST8a8VcfVOTNl353vSrDCLLJXmPk06wTjxrrjcBpXp5EOnYG_"

    });
    var keyStore = new JsonWebKeyStore()..addKey(jwk);
    
    // verify the signature
    var verified = await jws.verify(keyStore);
    print("signature verified: $verified");
}

Create a JWS

main() async {
  // create a builder
  var builder = new JsonWebSignatureBuilder();

  // set the content
  builder.stringContent = "It is me";

  // set some protected header
  builder.setProtectedHeader("createdAt", new DateTime.now().toIso8601String());

  // add a key to sign, you can add multiple keys for different recipients
  builder.addRecipient(
      new JsonWebKey.fromJson({
        "kty": "oct",
        "k":
            "AyM1SysPpbyDfgZld3umj1qzKObwVMkoqQ-EstJQLr_T-1qS0gZH75aKtMN3Yj0iPS4hcgUuTwjAzZr1Z9CAow"
      }),
      algorithm: "HS256");

  // build the jws
  var jws = builder.build();

  // output the compact serialization
  print("jws compact serialization: ${jws.toCompactSerialization()}");

  // output the json serialization
  print("jws json serialization: ${jws.toJson()}");
}
