Go JOSE
Package jose aims to provide an implementation of the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption set of standards. For the moment, it mainly focuses on encryption and signing based on the JSON Web Encryption and JSON Web Signature standards.
Disclaimer: This library contains encryption software that is subject to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations. You may not export, re-export, transfer or download this code or any part of it in violation of any United States law, directive or regulation. In particular this software may not be exported or re-exported in any form or on any media to Iran, North Sudan, Syria, Cuba, or North Korea, or to denied persons or entities mentioned on any US maintained blocked list.
Overview
The implementation follows the
JSON Web Encryption
standard (RFC 7516) and
JSON Web Signature
standard (RFC 7515). Tables of supported algorithms are shown below.
The library supports both the compact and full serialization formats, and has
optional support for multiple recipients. It also comes with a small
command-line utility (jose-util
) for encrypting/decrypting JWE messages in a
shell.
Supported algorithms
See below for a table of supported algorithms. Algorithm identifiers match the names in the JSON Web Algorithms standard where possible. The Godoc reference has a list of constants.
Key encryption | Algorithm identifier(s) |
---|---|
RSA-PKCS#1v1.5 | RSA1_5 |
RSA-OAEP | RSA-OAEP, RSA-OAEP-256 |
AES key wrap | A128KW, A192KW, A256KW |
AES-GCM key wrap | A128GCMKW, A192GCMKW, A256GCMKW |
ECDH-ES + AES key wrap | ECDH-ES+A128KW, ECDH-ES+A192KW, ECDH-ES+A256KW |
ECDH-ES (direct) | ECDH-ES1 |
Direct encryption | dir1 |
1. Not supported in multi-recipient mode
Signing / MAC | Algorithm identifier(s) |
---|---|
RSASSA-PKCS#1v1.5 | RS256, RS384, RS512 |
RSASSA-PSS | PS256, PS384, PS512 |
HMAC | HS256, HS384, HS512 |
ECDSA | ES256, ES384, ES512 |
Content encryption | Algorithm identifier(s) |
---|---|
AES-CBC+HMAC | A128CBC-HS256, A192CBC-HS384, A256CBC-HS512 |
AES-GCM | A128GCM, A192GCM, A256GCM |
Compression | Algorithm identifiers(s) |
---|---|
DEFLATE (RFC 1951) | DEF |
Supported key types
See below for a table of supported key types. These are understood by the
library, and can be passed to corresponding functions such as NewEncrypter
or
NewSigner
.
Algorithm(s) | Corresponding types |
---|---|
RSA | *rsa.PublicKey, *rsa.PrivateKey |
ECDH, ECDSA | *ecdsa.PublicKey, *ecdsa.PrivateKey |
AES, HMAC | []byte |
Examples
Encryption/decryption example using RSA:
// Generate a public/private key pair to use for this example. The library
// also provides two utility functions (LoadPublicKey and LoadPrivateKey)
// that can be used to load keys from PEM/DER-encoded data.
privateKey, err := rsa.GenerateKey(rand.Reader, 2048)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Instantiate an encrypter using RSA-OAEP with AES128-GCM. An error would
// indicate that the selected algorithm(s) are not currently supported.
publicKey := &privateKey.PublicKey
encrypter, err := NewEncrypter(RSA_OAEP, A128GCM, publicKey)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Encrypt a sample plaintext. Calling the encrypter returns an encrypted
// JWE object, which can then be serialized for output afterwards. An error
// would indicate a problem in an underlying cryptographic primitive.
var plaintext = []byte("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet")
object, err := encrypter.Encrypt(plaintext)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Serialize the encrypted object using the full serialization format.
// Alternatively you can also use the compact format here by calling
// object.CompactSerialize() instead.
serialized := object.FullSerialize()
// Parse the serialized, encrypted JWE object. An error would indicate that
// the given input did not represent a valid message.
object, err = ParseEncrypted(serialized)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Now we can decrypt and get back our original plaintext. An error here
// would indicate the the message failed to decrypt, e.g. because the auth
// tag was broken or the message was tampered with.
decrypted, err := object.Decrypt(privateKey)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf(string(decrypted))
// output: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Signing/verification example using RSA:
// Generate a public/private key pair to use for this example. The library
// also provides two utility functions (LoadPublicKey and LoadPrivateKey)
// that can be used to load keys from PEM/DER-encoded data.
privateKey, err := rsa.GenerateKey(rand.Reader, 2048)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Instantiate a signer using RSASSA-PSS (SHA512) with the given private key.
signer, err := NewSigner(PS512, privateKey)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Sign a sample payload. Calling the signer returns a protected JWS object,
// which can then be serialized for output afterwards. An error would
// indicate a problem in an underlying cryptographic primitive.
var payload = []byte("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet")
object, err := signer.Sign(payload)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Serialize the encrypted object using the full serialization format.
// Alternatively you can also use the compact format here by calling
// object.CompactSerialize() instead.
serialized := object.FullSerialize()
// Parse the serialized, protected JWS object. An error would indicate that
// the given input did not represent a valid message.
object, err = ParseSigned(serialized)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Now we can verify the signature on the payload. An error here would
// indicate the the message failed to verify, e.g. because the signature was
// broken or the message was tampered with.
output, err := object.Verify(&privateKey.PublicKey)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf(string(output))
// output: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
More examples can be found in the Godoc
reference for this package. The
jose-util
subdirectory also contains a small command-line utility for
encrypting/decrypting JWE messages which might be useful as an example.
