JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) for Ruby.
Heavily based on erlang-jose.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'jose'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install jose
Better documentation is in progress, but here are a few resources to get started. First, a simple example of key generation and message signing:
# Let's use our secret key "symmetric key" for use with
# the HMAC using SHA-256 (HS256) algorithm.
jwk = JOSE::JWK.from_oct('symmetric key')
# Here is the JSON format of our JWK.
jwk.to_binary
# => "{\"k\":\"c3ltbWV0cmljIGtleQ\",\"kty\":\"oct\"}"
# Now let's sign our message using HS256.
signed = jwk.sign('test', { 'alg' => 'HS256' }).compact
# => "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.dGVzdA.VlZz7pJCnos0k-WUL9O9RoT9N--2kHSakNIdOg-MIro"
# We use the same key for verification.
verified, message, = jwk.verify(signed)
# => [true, "test"]More details and examples:
Finally, the erlang-jose documentation can provide more ideas of the functionality available in this gem.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
