HTTP Signature Normaliztion Actix

An HTTP Signatures library that leaves the signing to you

• docs.rs

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 = "2.6.0"
actix-web = "4.0.0"
thiserror = "0.1"
http-signature-normalization-actix = { version = "0.6.0", default-features = false, features = ["sha-2"] }
sha2 = "0.9"

Then, use it in your client

async fn request(config: Config) -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let digest = Sha256::new();

    let mut response = Client::default()
        .post("http://127.0.0.1:8010/")
        .append_header(("User-Agent", "Actix Web"))
        .append_header(("Accept", "text/plain"))
        .insert_header(actix_web::http::header::Date(SystemTime::now().into()))
        .signature_with_digest(config, "my-key-id", digest, "Hewwo-owo", |s| {
            info!("Signing String\n{}", s);
            Ok(base64::encode(s)) as Result<_, MyError>
        })
        .await?
        .send()
        .await
        .map_err(|e| {
            error!("Error, {}", e);
            MyError::SendRequest
        })?;

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

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

Or, use it in your server

#[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 ready(Err(MyError::Algorithm)),
        };

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

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

        info!("Signing String\n{}", signing_string);

        ready(Ok(decoded == signing_string.as_bytes()))
    }
}

async fn index(
    (_, sig_verified): (DigestVerified, SignatureVerified),
    req: HttpRequest,
    _body: web::Bytes,
) -> &'static str {
    info!("Verified request for {}", sig_verified.key_id());
    info!("{:?}", req);
    "Eyyyyup"
}

#[actix_rt::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let env_filter = EnvFilter::try_from_default_env().unwrap_or_else(|_| EnvFilter::new("info"));

    let subscriber = tracing_subscriber::Registry::default()
        .with(env_filter)
        .with(ErrorLayer::default())
        .with(tracing_subscriber::fmt::layer());

    tracing::subscriber::set_global_default(subscriber)?;

    let config = Config::default().require_header("accept").require_digest();

    HttpServer::new(move || {
        App::new()
            .wrap(VerifyDigest::new(Sha256::new()).optional())
            .wrap(VerifySignature::new(MyVerify, config.clone()).optional())
            .wrap(TracingLogger::default())
            .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()
    }
}
