HTTP Signature Normaliztion Actix

An HTTP Signatures library that leaves the signing to you

Http Signature Normalization is a minimal-dependency crate for producing HTTP Signatures with user-provided signing and verification. The API is simple; there's a series of steps for creation and verification with types that ensure reasonable usage.

Usage

This crate provides extensions the ClientRequest type from Actix Web, and provides middlewares for verifying HTTP Signatures, and optionally, Digest headers

First, add this crate to your dependencies

actix-rt = "1.1.1"
actix-web = "3.0.2"
thiserror = "0.1"
http-signature-normalization-actix = { version = "0.4.1", default-features = false, features = ["sha-2"] }
sha2 = "0.9"

Then, use it in your client

use actix_web::client::Client;
use http_signature_normalization_actix::prelude::*;
use sha2::{Digest, Sha256};

#[actix_rt::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let config = Config::default();
    let mut digest = Sha256::new();

    let mut response = Client::default()
        .post("http://127.0.0.1:8010/")
        .header("User-Agent", "Actix Web")
        .authorization_signature_with_digest(&config, "my-key-id", &mut digest, "My request body", |s| {
            Ok(base64::encode(s)) as Result<_, MyError>
        })?
        .await?
        .send()
        .await
        .map_err(|e| {
            eprintln!("Error, {}", e);
            MyError::SendRequest
        })?;

    let body = response.body().await.map_err(|e| {
        eprintln!("Error, {}", e);
        MyError::Body
    })?;

    println!("{:?}", body);
    Ok(())
}

#[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error)]
pub enum MyError {
    #[error("Failed to read header, {0}")]
    Convert(#[from] ToStrError),

    #[error("Failed to create header, {0}")]
    Header(#[from] InvalidHeaderValue),

    #[error("Failed to send request")]
    SendRequest,

    #[error("Failed to retrieve request body")]
    Body,
}

Or, use it in your server

use actix_web::{http::StatusCode, web, App, HttpResponse, HttpServer, ResponseError};
use futures::future::{err, ok, Ready};
use http_signature_normalization_actix::prelude::*;
use sha2::{Digest, Sha256};

#[derive(Clone, Debug)]
struct MyVerify;

impl SignatureVerify for MyVerify {
    type Error = MyError;
    type Future = Ready<Result<bool, Self::Error>>;

    fn signature_verify(
        &mut self,
        algorithm: Option<Algorithm>,
        key_id: String,
        signature: String,
        signing_string: String,
    ) -> Self::Future {
        match algorithm {
            Some(Algorithm::Hs2019) => (),
            _ => return err(MyError::Algorithm),
        };

        if key_id != "my-key-id" {
            return err(MyError::Key);
        }

        let decoded = match base64::decode(&signature) {
            Ok(decoded) => decoded,
            Err(_) => return err(MyError::Decode),
        };

        ok(decoded == signing_string.as_bytes())
    }
}

async fn index((_, sig_verified): (DigestVerified, SignatureVerified)) -> &'static str {
    println!("Signature verified for {}", sig_verified.key_id());
    "Eyyyyup"
}

#[actix_rt::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let config = Config::default();

    HttpServer::new(move || {
        App::new()
            .wrap(VerifyDigest::new(Sha256::new()).optional())
            .wrap(
                VerifySignature::new(MyVerify, config.clone())
                    .authorization()
                    .optional(),
            )
            .route("/", web::post().to(index))
    })
    .bind("127.0.0.1:8010")?
    .run()
    .await?;

    Ok(())
}

#[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error)]
enum MyError {
    #[error("Failed to verify, {}", _0)]
    Verify(#[from] PrepareVerifyError),

    #[error("Unsupported algorithm")]
    Algorithm,

    #[error("Couldn't decode signature")]
    Decode,

    #[error("Invalid key")]
    Key,
}

impl ResponseError for MyError {
    fn status_code(&self) -> StatusCode {
        StatusCode::BAD_REQUEST
    }

    fn error_response(&self) -> HttpResponse {
        HttpResponse::BadRequest().finish()
    }
}
