Ultimate Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) and JSON Web Token (JWT) Implementation for .NET and .NET Core
Minimallistic zero-dependency library for generating, decoding and encryption JSON Web Tokens. Supports full suite of JSON Web Algorithms as of July 4, 2014 version. JSON parsing agnostic, can plug any desired JSON processing library. Extensively tested for compatibility with jose.4.j, Nimbus-JOSE-JWT and json-jwt libraries.
-
v2.0 and above is .NET Core compatible and aimed to support both .NET framework (
NET40
) and .NET Core (netstandard1.4
) runtimes. This is the version you should prefer unless you have really strong reason to stay with v1.9. -
v1.9 is built against .NET framework only and should be compatible with
NET40
and above. The version is not actively maintained anymore except critical bug fixes. -
WinRT compatible version (Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1) is avaliable as standalone project here: jose-rt.
-
PCLCrypto based experimental project living up here: jose-pcl.
Originally forked from https://github.com/johnsheehan/jwt . Almost re-written from scratch to support JWT encryption capabilities and unified interface for encoding/decoding/encryption and other features. Moved to separate project in February 2014.

* It appears that Microsoft CNG implementation of BCryptSecretAgreement/NCryptSecretAgreement contains a bug for calculating Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman secret agreement on keys higher than 256 bit (P-384 and P-521 NIST curves correspondingly). At least produced secret agreements do not match any other implementation in different languages. Technically it is possible to use ECDH-ES or ECDH-ES+AES Key Wrap family with A192CBC-HS384 and A256CBC-HS512 but most likely produced JWT tokens will not be compatible with other platforms and therefore can't be decoded correctly.

header by default.
In some cases validation (decoding) key can be unknown prior to examining token content. For instance one can use different keys per token issuer or rely on headers information to determine which key to use, do logging or other things.
jose-jwt provides helper methods to examine token content without performing actual integrity validation or decryption.
IDictionary<string, object> Jose.JWT.Headers(String token)
to return header information as dictionary and T Jose.JWT.Headers<T>(string token)
to return headers information as
unmarshalled type.
string Jose.JWT.Payload(string token)
to return unparsed payload and T Jose.JWT.Payload<T>(string token)
to return unmarshalled payload type. Those 2 methods works only with
signed tokens and will throw JoseException
when applied on encrypted token.
Security warning: please note, you should NOT rely on infromation extracted by given helpers without performing token validation as second step.
Below are couple examples on how two-phase validation can be implemented with jose-jwt:
//step 1a: get headers info
var headers = Jose.JWT.Headers(token);
//step 1b: lookup validation key based on header info
var key = FindKey(headers["keyid"]);
//step 2: perform actual token validation
var payload = Jose.JWT.Decode(token, key);
//step 1a: get payload as custom JwtToken object
var jwt = Jose.JWT.Payload<JwtToken>(token);
//step 1b: lookup validation key based on issuer
var key = FindKeyByIssuer(jwt.Iss);
//step 2: perform actual token validation
var payload = Jose.JWT.Decode<JwtToken>(token, key);
It is possible to use strict validation before decoding a token. This means that you will specify which algorithm and possibly encryption type you are expecting to receive in the header. If the received header doesn't match with the types that you have specified an exception will be thrown and the parsing will be stopped.
Example of how to strictly validate an encrypted token:
string token = "eyJhbGciOiJkaXIiLCJlbmMiOiJBMjU2R0NNIn0..Fmz3PLVfv-ySl4IJ.LMZpXMDoBIll5yuEs81Bws2-iUUaBSpucJPL-GtDKXkPhFpJmES2T136Vd8xzvp-3JW-fvpRZtlhluqGHjywPctol71Zuz9uFQjuejIU4axA_XiAy-BadbRUm1-25FRT30WtrrxKltSkulmIS5N-Nsi_zmCz5xicB1ZnzneRXGaXY4B444_IHxGBIS_wdurPAN0OEGw4xIi2DAD1Ikc99a90L7rUZfbHNg_iTBr-OshZqDbR6C5KhmMgk5KqDJEN8Ik-Yw.Jbk8ZmO901fqECYVPKOAzg";
byte[] secretKey = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 };
string json = Jose.JWT.Decode(token, secretKey, JweAlgorithm.DIR, JweEncryption.A256GCM);
Example of how to strictly validate a signed token:
string token = "eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsImN0eSI6InRleHRcL3BsYWluIn0.eyJoZWxsbyI6ICJ3b3JsZCJ9.EVnmDMlz-oi05AQzts-R3aqWvaBlwVZddWkmaaHyMx5Phb2NSLgyI0kccpgjjAyo1S5KCB3LIMPfmxCX_obMKA";
byte[] x = { 4, 114, 29, 223, 58, 3, 191, 170, 67, 128, 229, 33, 242, 178, 157, 150, 133, 25, 209, 139, 166, 69, 55, 26, 84, 48, 169, 165, 67, 232, 98, 9 };
byte[] y = { 131, 116, 8, 14, 22, 150, 18, 75, 24, 181, 159, 78, 90, 51, 71, 159, 214, 186, 250, 47, 207, 246, 142, 127, 54, 183, 72, 72, 253, 21, 88, 53 };
var publicKey = EccKey.New(x, y);
string json = Jose.JWT.Decode(token, publicKey, JwsAlgorithm.ES256);
It is possible to encode and decode JOSE objects that have a payload consisting of arbitrary binary data. The methods that work with a binary payload have the Bytes suffix in the name to distinguish them in cases of potential ambiguity, e.g. EncodeBytes()
.
Example of working with signed binary payloads in JOSE objects:
var payload = new byte[] { 1, 2, 3, 0, 255 };
var signingKey = Convert.FromBase64String("WbQs8GowdRX1zYCFi3/VuQ==");
// Encoding a token with a binary payload.
var token = Jose.JWT.EncodeBytes(payload, signingKey, Jose.JwsAlgorithm.HS256);
// Reading the binary payload from a token (with signature verification).
var decoded = Jose.JWT.DecodeBytes(token, signingKey);
// Reading the binary payload from a token (without signature verification).
decoded = Jose.JWT.PayloadBytes(token);
jose-jwt library is agnostic about object model used to represent json payload as well as underlying framework used to serialize/parse json objects. Library provides convinient generic methods to work directly with your object model:
MyDomainObject obj=Jose.JWT.Decode<MyDomainObject>(token,secretKey); //will invoke configured IJsonMapper to perform parsing/mapping of content to MyDomainObject
string data=Jose.JWT.Encode(obj,secrectKey,JwsAlgorithm.HS256); //for object argument configured IJsonMapper will be invoked to serialize object to json string before encoding
The library provides simple Jose.IJsonMapper
interface to plug any json processing library or customize default behavior. The only requirement for mapping implementations
is ability to correctly serialize/parse IDictionary<string,object>
type.
The default supplied Jose.IJsonMapper
implementation is based on System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer
.

public string Serialize(object obj)

var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings

}

NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore,
