JOSE (@trust/jose)

JSON Object Signing and Encryption for Node.js and Browsers

The JOSE suite of specifications standardizes various mechanisms required for integrity protection and encryption of data structured and serialized as JSON. This package implements JWT, JWD, JWS, JWE (in progress), JWA, JWK, and JWK Set for use in JavaScript applications.

Underlying cryptography is provided by W3C Web Cryptography API, available natively in browsers and via npm in Node.js. Additionally, JSON Schema is used for object initialization and validation with JWT and JWD.

Install

$ npm install @trust/jose --save

Usage

Node.js

const { JWT, JWD, JWA, JWKSet } = require('@trust/jose')

Browser

If you npm install jose as a dependency, the Webpack'd minified bundle will be available in the dist/ directory as jose.min.js.

If you're actively developing/testing this lib, you can npm run dist, and the bundle will be rebuilt.

To use in the browser, simply import the bundle in a <script> tag, and the lib will be loaded into the window.JOSE global variable.

Example test.html file, to illustrate:

<html>
<head>
  <script src="dist/jose.min.js"></script>
  <script>
    // You can now start using the library
    let jwt = new JOSE.JWT({
      header: { alg: 'HS256' },
      payload: { iss: 'https://forge.anvil.io' }
    })
  </script>
</head>
