JSON Web Signature (JWS) PHP Library

A simple and extensible PHP implementation of JWS based on JWS draft](http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-signature).

Note

gamegos/jwt library is more suitable for a JSON WEB TOKEN(JWT) solution

Installation

The recommended way to install gamegos/jws is through Composer.

{
    "require": {
        "gamegos/jws": "~1.0"
    }
}

Basic Usage

Encoding

$headers = array(
    'alg' => 'HS256', //alg is required. see *Algorithms* section for supported algorithms
    'typ' => 'JWT'
);

// anything that json serializable
$payload = array(
    'sub' => 'someone@example.com',
    'iat' => '1402993531'
);

$key = 'some-secret-for-hmac';

$jws = new \Gamegos\JWS\JWS();
echo $jws->encode($headers, $payload, $key);
//eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJzb21lb25lQGV4YW1wbGUuY29tIiwiaWF0IjoiMTQwMjk5MzUzMSJ9.0lgcQRnj_Jour8MLdIc71hPjjLVcQAOtagKVD9soaqU

Decoding & Verifying

$key = 'some-secret-for-hmac';

//jws encoded string
$jwsString = 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJzb21lb25lQGV4YW1wbGUuY29tIiwiaWF0IjoiMTQwMjk5MzUzMSJ9.0lgcQRnj_Jour8MLdIc71hPjjLVcQAOtagKVD9soaqU';

$jws = new \Gamegos\JWS\JWS();

$jws->verify($jwsString, $key);

If everything is ok you will get an array with 'headers' and 'payload'.

/*
Array
(
    [headers] => Array
        (
            [alg] => HS256
            [typ] => JWT
        )

    [payload] => Array
        (
            [sub] => someone@example.com
            [iat] => 1402993531
        )

)
*/

You will get one of these exceptions if something bad happens.

If you only want to parse jws string without signature verification you can use decode method.

$jws->decode($jwsString);

Supported Algorithms

Currently these algorithms are supported.

alg Parameter Digital Signature or MAC Algorithm
HS256 HMAC using SHA-256
HS384 HMAC using SHA-384
HS512 HMAC using SHA-512
RS2561 RSASSA-PKCS-v1_5 using SHA-256
RS3841 RSASSA-PKCS-v1_5 using SHA-384
RS5121 RSASSA-PKCS-v1_5 using SHA-512
none No digital signature or MAC performed

See JWA Cryptographic Algorithms for Digital Signatures and MACs page for full list of defined algorithms for JWS.

Exceptions

  • InvalidSignatureException
  • MalformedSignatureException
  • UnspecifiedAlgorithmException
  • UnsupportedAlgorithmException

Extending: Adding New Signature/MAC Algorithm

Create an algorithm class that implements \Gamegos\JWS\Algorithm\AlgorithmInterface.

//example NoneAlgorithm
class NoneAlgorithm implements \Gamegos\JWS\Algorithm\AlgorithmInterface
{

    public function sign($key, $data)
    {
        return '';
    }

    public function verify($key, $data, $signature)
    {
        return (string) $signature === '';
    }
}

Register your class:

//...
$jws = new \Gamegos\JWS\JWS();
$jws->registerAlgorithm('my-new-algorithm', new NoneAlgorithm());

Now you can use my-new-algorithm as a usual 'alg' parameter.

Known Limitations

  • JWS JSON Serialization is not supported.

1 requires php openssl module.
