jwt-go-ecdsa

This Go module generates JWTs using ECDSA encryption, tailored to specific services and purposes as defined in a policy file. It dynamically adjusts token claims based on the policy, including permissions and conditions for the token's use, then signs it with a private EC key. The token's expiration is set according to the specified duration.

The function structure is:

GenerateToken(policyPath string, serviceName string, purpose string, keyPath string, expirationInHours time.Duration)

The key should be a ECDSA-256 private key and the JSON structure of the policy should be:

        "purpose1": {

Usage

To use this module run:

go get -u github.com/PEngG7/jwt-go-ecdsa@v0.1.0

and add this import statement to your Go file:

import ("github.com/PEngG7/jwt-go-ecdsa")

Testing

The test.go file contains a test for the GenerateToken function. It uses the policy.json file and the private key provided in this repo. The provided test generates the following token:

The content can be decoded using a JWT decoder, such as jwt.io.

In this case it looks like this: HEADER

  "alg": "HS256",
  "typ": "JWT"
}
