Apex implementation of JWT and JWT Bearer flow. Requires Summer 14 release for RSA-SHA256 support.
#Unsigned JWT
JWT jwt = new JWT('none');
jwt.iss = 'your issuer';
jwt.sub = 'some subject';
jwt.aud = 'some audience';
token = jwt.issue();
#HMAC256 Signed JWT
JWT jwt = new JWT('HS256');
jwt.privateKey = 'base64 encoded secret';
jwt.iss = 'your issuer';
jwt.sub = 'some subject';
jwt.aud = 'some audience';
token = jwt.issue();
#RSA256 Signed JWT with PEM encoded p12
JWT jwt = new JWT('RS256');
jwt.pkcs8 = 'MIICXQIBAAKBgQC4U4Bma7kKa0CLU...pem encoded p12 RSA Key';
jwt.iss = 'your issuer';
jwt.sub = 'some subject';
jwt.aud = 'some audience';
token = jwt.issue();
#RSA256 Signed JWT with Certificate from Setup
JWT jwt = new JWT('RS256');
jwt.cert = 'JWTKey';
jwt.iss = 'your issuer';
jwt.sub = 'some subject';
jwt.aud = 'some audience';
token = jwt.issue();
#Change the default expiration By default expiration is 5 minutes (300 seconds). Change it by passing in a validFor in seconds.
JWT jwt = new JWT('none');
jwt.validFor = 60;
#Bearer Flow Use the JWT bearer flow for Server to Server applications.
JWTBearerFlow.getAccessToken('token_endpoint', jwt);
#Salesforce RSA-256 JWT Bearer Flow [http://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=remoteaccess_oauth_jwt_flow.htm&language=en_US]
JWT jwt = new JWT('RS256');
jwt.cert = 'JWTKey';
jwt.iss = '3MVG9PhR6g6B7ps6TYoM9J8TuRwyvkAmDUKainDupyG6eJ92nmK8m4LYueD5Lgtnyv0QoWBrB.YjuWCVj_rl_';
jwt.sub = 'summer@cmort.org';
jwt.aud = 'https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token';
String access_token = JWTBearerFlow.getAccessToken('https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token', jwt);
#Google RSA-256 JWT Bearer Flow [https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2ServiceAccount]
JWT jwt = new JWT('RS256');
jwt.pkcs8 = 'MIICXQIBAAKBgQC4U4Bma7kKa0CLU...pem encoded p12 RSA Key';
jwt.iss = 'someclient@developer.gserviceaccount.com';
jwt.sub = 'someuser@some.domain';
jwt.aud = 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token';
Map<String,String> claims = new Map<String,String>();
claims.put('scope','https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive');
jwt.claims = claims;
String access_token = JWTBearerFlow.getAccessToken('https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token', jwt);
