Detailed Description JSON Web Keys (RFC 7517) A JSON Web Key (JWS) is a standard data format for expresing cryptographic keys in JSON. See also: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7517 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7638 Function Documentation bool jose_jwk_gen (jose_cfg_t * cfg, json_t * jwk) Generates a new JWK. The JWK is generated using hints from the input in ex- actly the same format as you would find in the output. For example, the most common way to generate a key is to specify the algorithm you'd like to use the key with. For example (error handling omitted): json_t *gen(void) { json_auto_t *jwk = json_pack("{s:s}", "alg", "ES256"); jose_jwk_gen(NULL, jwk); return json_incref(jwk); } This method is preferred because other metadata can be inferred from the algorithm name, such as the key usage. Additionally, the algorithm metadata can be used to automatically generate correct headers when creating signa- tures (JWS) or encryptions (JWE). Thus, you should always default to creat- ing keys by their algorithm usage. However, should your requirements differ, you can also generate a key using raw parameters (again, error handling omitted): json_t *gen(void) { json_auto_t *jwk = json_pack("{s:s,s:s}", "kty", "EC", "crv", "P-256"); jose_jwk_gen(NULL, jwk); return json_incref(jwk); } json_t *gen(void) { json_auto_t *jwk = json_pack("{s:s,s:i}", "kty", "RSA", "bits", 2048); jose_jwk_gen(NULL, jwk); return json_incref(jwk); } json_t *gen(void) { json_auto_t *jwk = json_pack("{s:s,s:i}", "kty", "oct", "bytes", 32); jose_jwk_gen(NULL, jwk); return json_incref(jwk); } In this case, 'bits' and 'bytes' will be removed from the final output. See also: https://www.iana.org/assignments/jose/jose.xhtml#web-signature-encryp- tion-algorithms Parameters: cfg The configuration context (optional). jwk The JWK to generate. Returns: On success, true. Otherwise, false. bool jose_jwk_pub (jose_cfg_t * cfg, json_t * jwk) Removes all private key material from a JWK. In addition, this function will remove any key operations from the key_ops JWK property (if present) that apply only to the private key. This function should be used before exporting keys to third parties. Parameters: cfg The configuration context (optional). jwk The JWK to remove private keys from. Returns: On success, true. Otherwise, false. bool jose_jwk_prm (jose_cfg_t * cfg, const json_t * jwk, bool req, const char * op) Determines if an operation is permitted for a JWK. The operation to be con- firmed (op) is always specified according to the syntax of the 'key_ops' JWK property, even when the 'use' property is defined on the JWK. This function has two modes of operation. If req is false, then JWKs which do not have any key use metadata will be approved for this operation. How- ever, if req is true then this metadata will be required for approval. Parameters: cfg The configuration context (optional). jwk The JWK from which to remove private keys. req Whether JWK key use metadata is required or not. op The opperation to seek approval for. Returns: When the JWK is approved, true. Otherwise, false. json_t* jose_jwk_thp (jose_cfg_t * cfg, const json_t * jwk, const char * alg) Calculates the thumbprint of a JWK as a URL-safe Base64 encoded JSON string. This function is a thin wrapper around jose_jwk_thp_buf(). See also: jose_jwk_thp_buf() Parameters: cfg The configuration context (optional). jwk The JWK to calculate the thumbprint for. alg The hash algorithm to use. Returns: On success, a newly-allocated JSON string. Otherwise, NULL. size_t jose_jwk_thp_buf (jose_cfg_t * cfg, const json_t * jwk, const char * alg, uint8_t * thp, size_t len) Calculates the thumbprint of a JWK. This function calculates the thumbprint of a JWK according to the method defined by RFC 7638. If thp is NULL, this function returns the size of the buffer required for the thumbprint output. See also: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7638 Parameters: cfg The configuration context (optional). jwk The JWK to calculate the thumbprint for. alg The hash algorithm to use. thp The output hash buffer. len The size of the output hash buffer. Returns: On success, the number of bytes written. Otherwise, SIZE_MAX. json_t* jose_jwk_exc (jose_cfg_t * cfg, const json_t * prv, const json_t * pub) Perform a key exchange. The only currently implemented algorithm is ECDH. Parameters: cfg The configuration context (optional). prv The private JWK. pub The public JWK. Returns: On success, the JWK result of the key exchange. Otherwise, NULL. Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for JosA(C) from the source code. JosA(C) Tue May 30 2017 jose_jwk(3)
