jwt-compact 0.5.0

//! Minimalistic [JSON web token (JWT)][JWT] implementation with focus on type safety
//! and secure cryptographic primitives.
//!
//! # Design choices
//!
//! - JWT signature algorithms (i.e., cryptographic algorithms providing JWT integrity)
//!   are expressed via the [`Algorithm`] trait, which uses fully typed keys and signatures.
//! - [JWT header] is represented by the [`Header`] struct. Notably, `Header` does not
//!   expose the [`alg` field].
//!   Instead, `alg` is filled automatically during token creation, and is compared to the
//!   expected value during verification. (If you do not know the JWT signature algorithm during
//!   verification, you're doing something wrong.) This eliminates the possibility
//!   of [algorithm switching attacks][switching].
//!
//! # Additional features
//!
//! - The crate supports more compact [CBOR] encoding of the claims. This feature is enabled
//!   via the [`serde_cbor` feature](#cbor-support).
//! - The crate supports `EdDSA` algorithm with the Ed25519 elliptic curve, and `ES256K` algorithm
//!   with the secp256k1 elliptic curve.
//! - Supports basic [JSON Web Key](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7517.html) functionality,
//!   e.g., for converting keys to / from JSON or computing
//!   [a key thumbprint](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7638).
//!
//! ## Supported algorithms
//!
//! | Algorithm(s) | Feature | Description |
//! |--------------|---------|-------------|
//! | `HS256`, `HS384`, `HS512` | - | Uses pure Rust [`sha2`] crate |
//! | `EdDSA` (Ed25519) | [`exonum-crypto`] | [`libsodium`] binding |
//! | `EdDSA` (Ed25519) | [`ed25519-dalek`] | Pure Rust implementation |
//! | `EdDSA` (Ed25519) | [`ed25519-compact`] | Compact pure Rust implementation, WASM-compatible |
//! | `ES256K` | `es256k` | [Rust binding][`secp256k1`] for [`libsecp256k1`] |
//! | `ES256K` | [`k256`] | Pure Rust implementation |
//! | `RS*`, `PS*` (RSA) | `with_rsa` | Uses pure Rust [`rsa`] crate with blinding |
//!
//! `EdDSA` and `ES256K` algorithms are somewhat less frequently supported by JWT implementations
//! than others since they are recent additions to the JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) suit.
//! They both work with elliptic curves
//! (Curve25519 and secp256k1; both are widely used in crypto community and believed to be
//! securely generated). These algs have 128-bit security, making them an alternative
//! to `ES256`.
//!
//! RSA support requires a system-wide RNG retrieved via the [`getrandom`] crate.
//! In case of a compilation failure in the `getrandom` crate, you may want
//! to include it as a direct dependency and specify one of its features
//! to assist `getrandom` with choosing an appropriate RNG implementation; consult `getrandom` docs
//! for more details. See also WASM and bare-metal E2E tests included
//! in the [source code repository] of this crate.
//!
//! ## CBOR support
//!
//! If the `serde_cbor` crate feature is enabled (and it is enabled by default), token claims can
//! be encoded using [CBOR] with the [`AlgorithmExt::compact_token()`] method.
//! The compactly encoded JWTs have the [`cty` field] (content type) in their header
//! set to `"CBOR"`. Tokens with such encoding can be verified in the same way as ordinary tokens;
//! see [examples below](#examples).
//!
//! If the `serde_cbor` feature is disabled, `AlgorithmExt::compact_token()` is not available.
//! Verifying CBOR-encoded tokens in this case is not supported either;
//! a [`ParseError::UnsupportedContentType`] will be returned when creating an [`UntrustedToken`]
//! from the token string.
//!
//! # `no_std` support
//!
//! The crate supports a `no_std` compilation mode. This is controlled by two features:
//! `clock` and `std`; both are on by default.
//!
//! - The `clock` feature enables getting the current time using `Utc::now()` from [`chrono`].
//!   Without it, some [`TimeOptions`] constructors, such as the `Default` impl,
//!   are not available. It is still possible to create `TimeOptions` with an explicitly specified
//!   clock function, or to set / verify time-related [`Claims`] fields manually.
//! - The `std` feature is propagated to the core dependencies and enables `std`-specific
//!   functionality (such as error types implementing the standard `Error` trait).
//!
//! Some `alloc` types are still used in the `no_std` mode, such as `String`, `Vec` and `Cow`.
//!
//! Note that not all crypto backends are `no_std`-compatible.
