JOSE
v1.11.6

View Source JOSE.JWS (JOSE v1.11.6)

JWS stands for JSON Web Signature which is defined in RFC 7515.

Unsecured Signing Vulnerability

The "none" signing algorithm is disabled by default to prevent accidental verification of empty signatures (read about the vulnerability here).

You may also enable the "none" algorithm as an application environment variable for :jose or by using JOSE.unsecured_signing/1.

JOSE.JWS.verify_strict/3 is recommended over JOSE.JWS.verify/2 so that signing algorithms may be whitelisted during verification of signed input.

Algorithms

The following algorithms are currently supported by JOSE.JWS (some may need the JOSE.crypto_fallback/1 option to be enabled):

  • "Ed25519"
  • "Ed25519ph"
  • "Ed448"
  • "Ed448ph"
  • "EdDSA"
  • "ES256"
  • "ES384"
  • "ES512"
  • "HS256"
  • "HS384"
  • "HS512"
  • "Poly1305"
  • "PS256"
  • "PS384"
  • "PS512"
  • "RS256"
  • "RS384"
  • "RS512"
  • "none" (disabled by default, enable with JOSE.unsecured_signing/1)

Summary

Types

t()

Functions

compact(signed)

Compacts an expanded signed map or signed list into a binary.

expand(signed)

Expands a compacted signed binary or list of signed binaries into a map.

from(list)

Converts a binary or map into a JOSE.JWS.

from_binary(list)

Converts a binary into a JOSE.JWS.

from_file(file)

Reads file and calls from_binary/1 to convert into a JOSE.JWS.

from_map(list)

Converts a map into a JOSE.JWS.

from_record(jose_jws)

Converts a :jose_jws record into a JOSE.JWS.

generate_key(list)

Generates a new JOSE.JWK based on the algorithms of the specified JOSE.JWS.

merge(left, right)

Merges map on right into map on left.

peek(signed)

See peek_payload/1.

peek_payload(signed)

Returns the decoded payload portion of a signed binary or map without verifying the signature.

peek_protected(signed)

Returns the decoded protected portion of a signed binary or map without verifying the signature.

peek_signature(signed)

Returns the decoded signature portion of a signed binary or map without verifying the signature.

sign(jwk, plain_text, jws)

Signs the plain_text using the jwk and algorithm specified by the jws.

sign(jwk, plain_text, header, jws)

Signs the plain_text using the jwk and algorithm specified by the jws and adds the header to the signed map.

signing_input(payload, jws)

Converts the jws to the protected argument used by signing_input/3.

signing_input(payload, protected, jws)

Combines payload and protected based on the "b64" setting on the jws for the signing input used by sign/3 and sign/4.

to_binary(list)

Converts a JOSE.JWS into a binary.

to_file(file, jws)

Calls to_binary/1 on a JOSE.JWS and then writes the binary to file.

to_map(list)

Converts a JOSE.JWS into a map.

to_record(list)

Converts a JOSE.JWS struct to a :jose_jws record.

verify(jwk, signed)

Verifies the signed using the jwk.

verify_strict(jwk, allow, signed)

Same as verify/2, but uses allow as a whitelist for "alg" which are allowed to verify against.

from(list)

View Source

Converts a binary or map into a JOSE.JWS.

iex> JOSE.JWS.from(%{ "alg" => "HS256" })
%JOSE.JWS{alg: {:jose_jws_alg_hmac, :HS256}, b64: :undefined, fields: %{}}
iex> JOSE.JWS.from("{"alg":"HS256"}")
%JOSE.JWS{alg: {:jose_jws_alg_hmac, :HS256}, b64: :undefined, fields: %{}}

Support for custom algorithms may be added by specifying a map tuple:

iex> JOSE.JWS.from({%{ alg: MyCustomAlgorithm }, %{ "alg" => "custom" }})
%JOSE.JWS{alg: {MyCustomAlgorithm, :state}, b64: :undefined, fields: %{}}

Note: MyCustomAlgorithm must implement the :jose_jws and :jose_jws_alg behaviours.

signing_input(payload, jws)

Converts the jws to the protected argument used by signing_input/3.

signing_input(payload, protected, jws)

View Source

Combines payload and protected based on the "b64" setting on the jws for the signing input used by sign/3 and sign/4.

If "b64" is set to false on the jws, the raw payload will be used:

iex> JOSE.JWS.signing_input("{}", %{ "alg" => "HS256" })
"eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.e30"
iex> JOSE.JWS.signing_input("{}", %{ "alg" => "HS256", "b64" => false })
