- jwe - more algorithms
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.

t.Set(jwt.AudienceKey, `Golang Users`)
t.Set(jwt.IssuedAtKey, time.Unix(aLongLongTimeAgo, 0))
t.Set(`privateClaimKey`, `Hello, World!`)
buf, err := json.MarshalIndent(t, "", " ")

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
}
key, err := keys[0].Materialize()
if err != nil {
log.Printf("failed to create public key: %s", err)
return
}
// Use key for jws.Verify() or whatever

if err != nil {

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)
