# node-jwa [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/brianloveswords/node-jwa.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/brianloveswords/node-jwa)

A
[JSON Web Algorithms](http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-algorithms-08.html)
implementation focusing (exclusively, at this point) on the algorithms necessary for
[JSON Web Signatures](http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-signature.html).

This library supports all of the required, recommended and optional cryptographic algorithms for JWS:

alg Parameter Value | Digital Signature or MAC Algorithm
----------------|----------------------------
HS256 | HMAC using SHA-256 hash algorithm
HS384 | HMAC using SHA-384 hash algorithm
HS512 | HMAC using SHA-512 hash algorithm
RS256 | RSASSA using SHA-256 hash algorithm
RS384 | RSASSA using SHA-384 hash algorithm
RS512 | RSASSA using SHA-512 hash algorithm
PS256 | RSASSA-PSS using SHA-256 hash algorithm
PS384 | RSASSA-PSS using SHA-384 hash algorithm
PS512 | RSASSA-PSS using SHA-512 hash algorithm
ES256 | ECDSA using P-256 curve and SHA-256 hash algorithm
ES384 | ECDSA using P-384 curve and SHA-384 hash algorithm
ES512 | ECDSA using P-521 curve and SHA-512 hash algorithm
none | No digital signature or MAC value included

Please note that PS* only works on Node 6.12+ (excluding 7.x).

# Requirements

In order to run the tests, a recent version of OpenSSL is
required. **The version that comes with OS X (OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb
2011) is not recent enough**, as it does not fully support ECDSA
keys. You'll need to use a version > 1.0.0; I tested with OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012.

# Testing

To run the tests, do

```bash
$ npm test
```

This will generate a bunch of keypairs to use in testing. If you want to
generate new keypairs, do `make clean` before running `npm test` again.

## Methodology

I spawn `openssl dgst -sign` to test OpenSSL sign → JS verify and
`openssl dgst -verify` to test JS sign → OpenSSL verify for each of the
RSA and ECDSA algorithms.

# Usage

## jwa(algorithm)

Creates a new `jwa` object with `sign` and `verify` methods for the
algorithm. Valid values for algorithm can be found in the table above
(`'HS256'`, `'HS384'`, etc) and are case-sensitive. Passing an invalid
algorithm value will throw a `TypeError`.


## jwa#sign(input, secretOrPrivateKey)

Sign some input with either a secret for HMAC algorithms, or a private
key for RSA and ECDSA algorithms.

If input is not already a string or buffer, `JSON.stringify` will be
called on it to attempt to coerce it.

For the HMAC algorithm, `secretOrPrivateKey` should be a string or a
buffer. For ECDSA and RSA, the value should be a string representing a
PEM encoded **private** key.

Output [base64url](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64#URL_applications)
formatted. This is for convenience as JWS expects the signature in this
format. If your application needs the output in a different format,
[please open an issue](https://github.com/brianloveswords/node-jwa/issues). In
the meantime, you can use
[brianloveswords/base64url](https://github.com/brianloveswords/base64url)
to decode the signature.

As of nodejs *v0.11.8*, SPKAC support was introduce. If your nodeJs
version satisfies, then you can pass an object `{ key: '..', passphrase: '...' }`


## jwa#verify(input, signature, secretOrPublicKey)

Verify a signature. Returns `true` or `false`.

`signature` should be a base64url encoded string.

For the HMAC algorithm, `secretOrPublicKey` should be a string or a
buffer. For ECDSA and RSA, the value should be a string represented a
PEM encoded **public** key.


# Example

HMAC
```js
const jwa = require('jwa');

const hmac = jwa('HS256');
const input = 'super important stuff';
const secret = 'shhhhhh';

const signature = hmac.sign(input, secret);
hmac.verify(input, signature, secret) // === true
hmac.verify(input, signature, 'trickery!') // === false
```

With keys
```js
const fs = require('fs');
const jwa = require('jwa');
const privateKey = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/ecdsa-p521-private.pem');
const publicKey = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/ecdsa-p521-public.pem');

const ecdsa = jwa('ES512');
const input = 'very important stuff';

const signature = ecdsa.sign(input, privateKey);
ecdsa.verify(input, signature, publicKey) // === true
```
