jwt_encode: JSON Web Token

In jose: JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption

Description

Sign or verify a JSON web token. The jwt_encode_hmac, jwt_encode_rsa, and jwt_encode_ec default to HS256, RS256, and ES256 respectively. See jwt.io or RFC7519 for more details.

Usage

jwt_encode_hmac(claim = jwt_claim(), secret, size = 256, header = NULL)

jwt_decode_hmac(jwt, secret)

jwt_encode_sig(claim = jwt_claim(), key, size = 256, header = NULL)

jwt_decode_sig(jwt, pubkey)

jwt_split(jwt)

Arguments

claim	a named list with fields to include in the jwt payload
secret	string or raw vector with a secret passphrase
size	bitsize of sha2 signature, i.e. sha256, sha384 or sha512. Only for HMAC/RSA, not applicable for ECDSA keys.
header	named list with additional parameter fields to include in the jwt header as defined in rfc7515 section 9.1.2
jwt	string containing the JSON Web Token (JWT)
key	path or object with RSA or EC private key, see openssl::read_key.
pubkey	path or object with RSA or EC public key, see openssl::read_pubkey.

Examples

# HMAC signing
mysecret <- "This is super secret"
token <- jwt_claim(name = "jeroen", session = 123456)
sig <- jwt_encode_hmac(token, mysecret)
jwt_decode_hmac(sig, mysecret)

# RSA encoding
mykey <- openssl::rsa_keygen()
pubkey <- as.list(mykey)$pubkey
sig <- jwt_encode_sig(token, mykey)
jwt_decode_sig(sig, pubkey)

# Same with EC
mykey <- openssl::ec_keygen()
pubkey <- as.list(mykey)$pubkey
sig <- jwt_encode_sig(token, mykey)
jwt_decode_sig(sig, pubkey)

# Get elements of the key
mysecret <- "This is super secret"
token <- jwt_claim(name = "jeroen", session = 123456)
jwt <- jwt_encode_hmac(token, mysecret)
jwt_split(jwt)
