validate_public_token requires PasetoPublicKey(->Ed25519KeyPair) about paseto HOT 4 CLOSED

Hey @dkull so sorry for the delay here. We got ownership figured out. I’ll be cutting a release tonight that will include the fix.

Thank you so much for your contribution!

Hey @dkull ,

The "nicer" token interface was definitely with the idea of a backend that had an idea of all the secrets. That being said I do agree, we should change the token interface to accept a public key. I'll get working on this.

In the meantime if this is a big issue for you, you can use the "raw" interfaces with do accept &[u8]:

V1: https://github.com/instructure/paseto/blob/master/src/v1/public.rs#L57

However please note these will not do any validation of exp/iat, etc. It only validates the payload was signed. So if you need to do those validations you'll want to make sure to do those.

Hi,
Yes I am currently using the payload validation method, and implemented my own exp/aud validation. But It would be awesome I could do all of the validation out of the box. Thanks for taking this on!

And released as 1.0.6!
