Struct jsonwebtoken::EncodingKey [−][src]
pub struct EncodingKey { /* fields omitted */ }
Expand description
A key to encode a JWT with. Can be a secret, a PEM-encoded key or a DER-encoded key. This key can be re-used so make sure you only initialize it once if you can for better performance
Implementations
If you’re using a HMAC secret that is not base64, use that.
If you have a base64 HMAC secret, use that.
If you are loading a ECDSA key from a .pem file This errors if the key is not a valid private EC key
NOTE
The key should be in PKCS#8 form.
You can generate a key with the following:
openssl ecparam -genkey -noout -name prime256v1 \
| openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -out ec-private.pem
If you are loading a EdDSA key from a .pem file This errors if the key is not a valid private Ed key
If you know what you’re doing and have the DER-encoded key, for RSA only
If you know what you’re doing and have the DER-encoded key, for ECDSA
If you know what you’re doing and have the DER-encoded key, for EdDSA
