# jsonwebkey
*[JSON Web Key (JWK)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7517#section-4.3) (de)serialization, generation, and conversion.*
Note: requires rustc nightly >= 1.45 for conveniences around fixed-size arrays.
**Goals**
tl;dr: get keys into a format that can be used by other crates; be as safe as possible while doing so.
- Serialization and deserialization of _Required_ and _Recommended_ key types (HS256, RS256, ES256)
- Conversion to PEM for interop with existing JWT libraries (e.g., [jsonwebtoken](https://crates.io/crates/jsonwebtoken))
- Key generation (particularly useful for testing)
**Non-goals**
- be a fully-featured JOSE framework
## Examples
### Deserializing from JSON
```rust
extern crate jsonwebkey as jwk;
// Generated using https://mkjwk.org/.
let jwt_str = r#"{
"kty": "oct",
"use": "sig",
"kid": "my signing key",
"k": "Wpj30SfkzM_m0Sa_B2NqNw",
"alg": "HS256"
}"#;
let jwk: jwk::JsonWebKey = jwt_str.parse().unwrap();
println!("{:#?}", jwk); // looks like `jwt_str` but with reordered fields.
```
### Using with other crates
```rust
extern crate jsonwebtoken as jwt;
extern crate jsonwebkey as jwk;
#[derive(serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
struct TokenClaims {}
let mut my_jwk = jwk::JsonWebKey::new(jwk::Key::generate_p256());
my_jwk.set_algorithm(jwk::Algorithm::ES256);
let encoding_key = jwt::EncodingKey::from_ec_der(&my_jwk.key.to_der().unwrap());
let token = jwt::encode(
&jwt::Header::new(my_jwk.algorithm.unwrap().into()),
&TokenClaims {},
&encoding_key,
).unwrap();
let public_pem = my_jwk.key.to_public().unwrap().to_pem().unwrap();
let decoding_key = jwt::DecodingKey::from_ec_pem(public_pem.as_bytes()).unwrap();
let mut validation = jwt::Validation::new(my_jwk.algorithm.unwrap().into());
validation.validate_exp = false;
jwt::decode::<TokenClaims>(&token, &decoding_key, &validation).unwrap();
```
## Features
* `convert` - enables `Key::{to_der, to_pem}`.
This pulls in the [yasna](https://crates.io/crates/yasna) crate.
* `generate` - enables `Key::{generate_p256, generate_symmetric}`.
This pulls in the [p256](https://crates.io/crates/p256) and [rand](https://crates.io/crates/rand) crates.
* `jsonwebtoken` - enables conversions to types in the [jsonwebtoken](https://crates.io/crates/jsonwebtoken) crate.
