NAME

Crypt::JWT - JSON Web Token (JWT, JWS, JWE) as defined by RFC7519, RFC7515, RFC7516

SYNOPSIS

# encoding
use Crypt::JWT qw(encode_jwt);
my $jws_token = encode_jwt(payload=>$data, alg=>'HS256', key=>'secret');
my $jwe_token = encode_jwt(payload=>$data, alg=>'PBES2-HS256+A128KW', enc=>'A128GCM', key=>'secret');

# decoding
use Crypt::JWT qw(decode_jwt);
my $data1 = decode_jwt(token=>$jws_token, key=>'secret');
my $data2 = decode_jwt(token=>$jwe_token, key=>'secret');

DESCRIPTION

Implements JSON Web Token (JWT) - https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519. The implementation covers not only JSON Web Signature (JWS) - https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7515, but also JSON Web Encryption (JWE) - https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7516.

The module implements all (100%) algorithms defined in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7518 - JSON Web Algorithms (JWA).

This module supports Compact JWS/JWE and Flattened JWS/JWE JSON serialization, general JSON serialization is not supported yet.

EXPORT

Nothing is exported by default.

You can export selected functions:

use Crypt::JWT qw(decode_jwt encode_jwt);

Or all of them at once:

use Crypt::JWT ':all';

FUNCTIONS

decode_jwt

my $data = decode_jwt(%named_args);

Named arguments:

  • token

    Mandatory argument, a string with either JWS or JWE JSON Web Token.

      ### JWS token example (3 segments)
      $t = "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.dGVzdA.ujBihtLSr66CEWqN74SpLUkv28lra_CeHnxLmLNp4Jo";
      my $data = decode_jwt(token=>$t, key=>$k);
    
      ### JWE token example (5 segments)
      $t = "eyJlbmMiOiJBMTI4R0NNIiwiYWxnIjoiQTEyOEtXIn0.UusxEbzhGkORxTRq0xkFKhvzPrXb9smw.VGfOuq0Fxt6TsdqLZUpnxw.JajIQQ.pkKZ7MHS0XjyGmRsqgom6w";
      my $data = decode_jwt(token=>$t, key=>$k);
    
  • key

    A key used for token decryption (JWE) or token signature validation (JWS). The value depends on the alg token header value.

  • keypass

    When 'key' parameter is an encrypted private RSA or ECC key this optional parameter may contain a password for private key decryption.

  • kid_keys

    This parametes can be either a JWK Set JSON string (see RFC7517) or a perl HASH ref with JWK Set structure like this:

      my $keylist = {
        keys => [
          { kid=>"key1", kty=>"oct", k=>"GawgguFyGrWKav7AX4VKUg" },
          { kid=>"key2", kty=>"oct", k=>"ulxLGy4XqhbpkR5ObGh1gX" },
        ]
      };
      my $payload = decode_jwt(token=>$t, kid_keys=>$keylist);
    

    You can use "export_key_jwk" in Crypt::PK::RSA to generate a JWK for RSA:

      my $pubkey = Crypt::PK::RSA->new('rs256-4096-public.pem');
      my $jwk_hash = $pubkey->export_key_jwk('public', 1);
      $jwk_hash->{kid} = 'key1';
      my $keylist = {
        keys => [
          $jwk_hash,
        ]
      };
    

    The structure described above is used e.g. by https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/certs

      use Mojo::UserAgent;
      my $ua = Mojo::UserAgent->new;
      my $google_keys => $ua->get('https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/certs')->result->json;
      my $payload = decode_jwt(token => $t, kid_keys => $google_keys);
    

    SINCE 0.019 we also support alternative structure used e.g. by https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs:

      use LWP::Simple;
      my $google_certs = get('https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs');
      my $payload = decode_jwt(token => $t, kid_keys => $google_certs);
    

    When the token header contains kid item the corresponding key is looked up in kid_keys list and used for token decoding (you do not need to pass the explicit key via key parameter). Add a kid header using "extra_headers".

    INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE in 0.023: When kid_keys is specified it croaks if token header does not contain kid value or if kid was not found in kid_keys.

  • key_from_jwk_header

    SINCE 0.023

    1 - use jwk header value for validating JWS signature if neither key nor kid_keys specified, BEWARE: DANGEROUS, UNSECURE!!!

    0 (default) - ignore jwk header value when validating JWS signature

    Keep in mind that enabling key_from_jwk_header requires jwk header to exist and be an valid RSA/ECDSA public key (otherwise it croaks).

  • allow_none

    1 - accept JWS tokens with none 'alg' header value (which means that token has no signature), BEWARE: DANGEROUS, UNSECURE!!!

    0 (default) - do not allow JWS with none 'alg' header value

  • ignore_signature

    1 - do not check signature on JWS tokens, BEWARE: DANGEROUS, UNSECURE!!!

    0 (default) - check signature on JWS tokens

  • accepted_alg

    undef (default) means accept all 'alg' algorithms except 'none' (for accepting 'none' use allow_none)

    string name of accepted 'alg' algorithm (only one)

    ARRAY ref a list of accepted 'alg' algorithms

    Regexp that has to match 'alg' algorithm name

      my $payload = decode_jwt(token=>$t, key=>$k, accepted_alg=>'HS256');
      #or
      my $payload = decode_jwt(token=>$t, key=>$k, accepted_alg=>['HS256','HS384']);
      #or
      my $payload = decode_jwt(token=>$t, key=>$k, accepted_alg=>qr/^HS(256|384|512)$/);
    
  • accepted_enc

    undef (default) means accept all 'enc' algorithms

    string name of accepted 'enc' algorithm (only one)

    ARRAY ref a list of accepted 'enc' algorithms

    Regexp that has to match 'enc' algorithm name

      my $payload = decode_jwt(token=>$t, key=>$k, accepted_enc=>'A192GCM');
      #or
      my $payload = decode_jwt(token=>$t, key=>$k, accepted_enc=>['A192GCM','A256GCM']);
      #or
      my $payload = decode_jwt(token=>$t, key=>$k, accepted_enc=>qr/^A(128|192|256)GCM$/);
    
  • decode_payload

    0 - do not decode payload, return it as a raw string (octects).

    1 - decode payload from JSON string, return it as perl hash ref (or array ref) - decode_json failure means fatal error (croak).

    undef (default) - if possible decode payload from JSON string, if decode_json fails return payload as a raw string (octets).

  • decode_header

    0 (default) - do not return decoded header as a return value of decode_jwt()

    1 - return decoded header as a return value of decode_jwt()

      my $payload = decode_jwt(token=>$t, key=>$k);
      #or
      my ($header, $payload) = decode_jwt(token=>$t, key=>$k, decode_header=>1);
    
  • verify_iss

    INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE in 0.024: If verify_iss is specified and claim iss (Issuer) is completely missing it is a failure since 0.024

    CODE ref - subroutine (with 'iss' claim value passed as argument) should return true otherwise verification fails

    Regexp ref - 'iss' claim value has to match given regexp otherwise verification fails

    Scalar - 'iss' claim value has to be equal to given string (since 0.029)

    undef (default) - do not verify 'iss' claim

  • verify_aud

    INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE in 0.024: If verify_aud is specified and claim aud (Audience) is completely missing it is a failure since 0.024

    CODE ref - subroutine (with 'aud' claim value passed as argument) should return true otherwise verification fails

    Regexp ref - 'aud' claim value has to match given regexp otherwise verification fails

    Scalar - 'aud' claim value has to be equal to given string (since 0.029)

    undef (default) - do not verify 'aud' claim

  • verify_sub

    INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE in 0.024: If verify_sub is specified and claim sub (Subject) is completely missing it is a failure since 0.024

    CODE ref - subroutine (with 'sub' claim value passed as argument) should return true otherwise verification fails

    Regexp ref - 'sub' claim value has to match given regexp otherwise verification fails

    Scalar - 'sub' claim value has to be equal to given string (since 0.029)

    undef (default) - do not verify 'sub' claim

  • verify_jti

    INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE in 0.024: If verify_jti is specified and claim jti (JWT ID) is completely missing it is a failure since 0.024

    CODE ref - subroutine (with 'jti' claim value passed as argument) should return true otherwise verification fails

    Regexp ref - 'jti' claim value has to match given regexp otherwise verification fails

    Scalar - 'jti' claim value has to be equal to given string (since 0.029)

    undef (default) - do not verify 'jti' claim

  • verify_iat

    undef - Issued At 'iat' claim must be valid (not in the future) if present

    0 (default) - ignore 'iat' claim

    1 - require valid 'iat' claim

  • verify_nbf

    undef (default) - Not Before 'nbf' claim must be valid if present

    0 - ignore 'nbf' claim

    1 - require valid 'nbf' claim

  • verify_exp

    undef (default) - Expiration Time 'exp' claim must be valid if present

    0 - ignore 'exp' claim

    1 - require valid 'exp' claim

  • leeway

    Tolerance in seconds related to verify_exp, verify_nbf and verify_iat. Default is 0.

  • ignore_claims

    1 - do not check claims (iat, exp, nbf, iss, aud, sub, jti), BEWARE: DANGEROUS, UNSECURE!!!

    0 (default) - check claims

encode_jwt

      #or
      my $token = encode_jwt(payload=>[11,22,33,44], key=>$k, alg=>'HS256');
    

    HASH refs and ARRAY refs payloads are serialized as JSON strings

  • keypass

    When 'key' parameter is an encrypted private RSA or ECC key this optional parameter may contain a password for private key decryption.

  • allow_none

    1 - allow JWS with none 'alg' header value (which means that token has no signature), BEWARE: DANGEROUS, UNSECURE!!!

    0 (default) - do not allow JWS with none 'alg' header value

  • extra_headers

    This optional parameter may contain a HASH ref with items that will be added to JWT header.

    If you want to use PBES2-based 'alg' like PBES2-HS512+A256KW you can set PBES2 salt len (p2s) in bytes and iteration count (p2c) via extra_headers like this:

      my $token = encode_jwt(payload=>$p, key=>$k, alg=>'PBES2-HS512+A256KW', extra_headers=>{p2c=8000, p2s=>32});
      #NOTE: handling of p2s header is a special case, in the end it is replaced with the generated salt
    

    You can also use this to specify a kid value (see "kid_keys")

      my $token = encode_jwt(payload=>$p, key=>$k, alg => 'RS256', extra_headers=>{kid=>'key1'});
    
  • unprotected_headers

    A hash with additional integrity unprotected headers - JWS and JWE (not available for compact serialization);

  • shared_unprotected_headers

    A hash with additional integrity unprotected headers - JWE only (not available for compact serialization);

  • aad

    Additional Authenticated Data - scalar value with any (even raw octects) data - JWE only (not available for compact serialization);

  • serialization

    Specify serialization method: compat (= default) for Compact JWS/JWE serialization or flattened for Flattened JWS/JWE JSON serialization.

    General JSON serialization is not supported yet.

  • zip

    Compression method, currently 'deflate' is the only one supported. undef (default) means no compression.

      my $token = encode_jwt(payload=>$p, key=>$k, alg=>'HS256', zip=>'deflate');
      #or define compression level
      my $token = encode_jwt(payload=>$p, key=>$k, alg=>'HS256', zip=>['deflate', 9]);
    
  • auto_iat

    1 - set 'iat' (Issued At) claim to current time (epoch seconds since 1970) at the moment of token encoding

    0 (default) - do not set 'iat' claim

    NOTE: claims are part of the payload and can be used only if the payload is a HASH ref!

  • relative_exp

    Set 'exp' claim (Expiration Time) to current time + relative_exp value (in seconds).

    NOTE: claims are part of the payload and can be used only if the payload is a HASH ref!

  • relative_nbf

    Set 'nbf' claim (Not Before) to current time + relative_nbf value (in seconds).

    NOTE: claims are part of the payload and can be used only if the payload is a HASH ref!
