Syntax
JWT
Remarks
The JWT class supports signing, encrypting, decrypting and verifying JSON Web Tokens (JWTs).
Specify a set of claims via the Claim* properties or add your own claims with AddClaim. Call Sign to create a signed JWT using a variety of signing algorithms including HMAC, RSA, and ECDSA. Use Verify to verify the signature of any received JWT. See SigningAlgorithm for more details about supported algorithms.
Use Encrypt to create an encrypted JWT using a variety of algorithms including ECDH, RSA, and AES. Use Decrypt to decrypt the payload of any received JWT. See EncryptionAlgorithm for more details about supported algorithms.
Signing
The Sign method may be used to sign a payload with a variety of algorithms. Before calling the Sign method set SigningAlgorithm to the algorithm which will be used to sign the message. The result of signing is a compact serialized JWT string. For instance:
eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJhdWQiOlsiYXVkaWVuY2UiXSwiaXNzIjoiaXNzdWVyIn0.mlFETSma4WUcUSjNSUWA1n9QBcQHCkHN-y4zeBsCVqI
The class will use the values present in the Claim* properties to build the encoded JWT. After calling this method the EncodedJWT property will hold the compact serialized JWT. The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
- SigningAlgorithm (required)
- Certificate (conditional - required for ECDSA and RSA)
- Key (conditional - required for HMAC)
- ClaimAudience
- ClaimExp
- ClaimIssuedAt
- ClaimIssuer
- ClaimJWTId
- ClaimNotBefore
- HeaderParams
- KeyId
Notes for HMAC Algorithms (HS256, HS384, HS512)
When SigningAlgorithm is set to a HMAC algorithm Key must be set to a key of appropriate length for the algorithm. The Key should be the same number of bits as the algorithm being used. For instance a 256 bit key would be used for HS256.
The key must be known by both parties in order for signing and verification to take place. To use an existing HMAC key provide the bytes to the Key property. For instance:
//HMAC SHA-256 Key
byte[] key = new byte[] { 170, 171, 221, 209, 7, 181, 48, 178, 48, 118, 242, 132, 36, 218, 74, 140, 216, 165, 161, 70, 11, 42, 246, 205, 235, 231, 19, 48, 87, 141, 122, 10 };
//Sign the payload using HS256
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.SigningAlgorithm = JwtSigningAlgorithms.saHS256;
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.Sign();
string signedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for RSA Algorithms (RS256, RS384, RS512, PS256, PS384, PS512)
The RSA based algorithms use asymmetric encryption. Signing is done with a private key and verification is done with a public key. The private key may be in PFX or PEM format.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.SigningAlgorithm = JwtSigningAlgorithms.saRS256;
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "..\\jwt.pfx", "test", "*");
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.Sign();
string signedMessage = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for ECDSA Algorithms (ES256, ES384, ES512)
ECDSA algorithms require a valid ECC private key in order to sign data. The Certificate property should be set to a certificate with an ECC key. The CertMgr class can be used to create a certificate with an ECC key.
//Create an ECC key with SHA-256
Certmgr mgr = new Certmgr();
mgr.Config("CertPublicKeyAlgorithm=ECDSA_P256");
mgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPEMKeyFile;
mgr.CertStore = "C:\\temp\\ecdsa.pem";
mgr.CreateCertificate("CN=ecdsa", 123);
//Sign the payload using ES256
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.SigningAlgorithm = JwtSigningAlgorithms.saES256;
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPEMKeyFile, "C:\\temp\\ecdsa.pem", "", "*");
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.Sign();
string signedMessage = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for Unsecured (none)
To create a JWS token without any security set SigningAlgorithm to jwtNone.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.SigningAlgorithm = JwtSigningAlgorithms.saNone;
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.Sign();
string unsecuredMessage = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Signature Verification
The Verify method may be used to verify a received JWS message. Before calling the Verify method set EncodedJWT to a valid compact serialized JWT. For instance:
eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJhdWQiOlsiYXVkaWVuY2UiXSwiaXNzIjoiaXNzdWVyIn0.mlFETSma4WUcUSjNSUWA1n9QBcQHCkHN-y4zeBsCVqI
The Key or SignerCert properties should be set to the HMAC key or public certificate respectively. If the correct Key or SignerCert is not known ahead of time the KeyId parameter of the SignerInfo event may be used to identify the correct key.
If this method returns without error verification was successful. If verification fails then this method fails with an error. After calling this method the claims will be parsed and the Claim* properties will be populated. The the HeaderParams property will contain the headers. Headers of the parsed message are also available through the HeaderParam event.
The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
- EncodedJWT (required)
- Key (conditional - required for HMAC)
- SignerCert (conditional - required for ECDSA and RSA)
- SigningAlgorithm (only if StrictValidation is True)
- StrictValidation
- ExpectedAudience (optional)
- ExpectedExp (optional)
- ExpectedIssuedAt (optional)
- ExpectedIssuer (optional)
- ExpectedJWTId (optional)
- ExpectedNotBefore (optional)
- ExpectedSubject (optional)
After calling this method the following properties are populated:
Notes for HMAC Algorithms (HS256, HS384, HS512)
When verifying a message originally signed with a HMAC algorithm Key must be set to the same key used during signing. The key must be known by both parties in order for signing and verification to take place.
byte[] key = new byte[] { 170, 171, 221, 209, 7, 181, 48, 178, 48, 118, 242, 132, 36, 218, 74, 140, 216, 165, 161, 70, 11, 42, 246, 205, 235, 231, 19, 48, 87, 141, 122, 10 };
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.EncodedJWT = signedData;
jwt.Verify();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for RSA Algorithms (RS256, RS384, RS512, PS256, PS384, PS512)
The RSA based algorithms use asymmetric encryption. Signing is done with a private key and verification is done with a public key. The public key is typically in PEM format.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.SignerCert = new Certificate("..\\jwt.cer");
jwt.EncodedJWT = signedData;
jwt.Verify();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for ECDSA Algorithms (ES256, ES384, ES512)
ECDSA algorithms require a valid ECC public key to verify the message. The PEM encoded public key may be used directly with the Certificate property. An example PEM encoded public certificate created by the CertMgr class:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIBETCBtaADAgECAgF7MAwGCCqGSM49BAMCBQAwEDEOMAwGA1UEAxMFZWNkc2EwHhcNMjMw NzAzMTcwMjU3WhcNMjQwNzAyMTcwMjU3WjAQMQ4wDAYDVQQDEwVlY2RzYTBZMBMGByqGSM49 AgEGCCqGSM49AwEHA0IABGJv251JI7ITcq+fac9Z2yYkhTLSRhWGzBw1wEJZbs/8AZbVmvcy 4BzKSZEaTfBsCHIt3FLNgRLdugI+B65eQDYwDAYIKoZIzj0EAwIFAANJADBGAiEAzmH5LKKn r4iy9kJvIlCslpcBHM/8k0XQaj13Zwhm2ocCIQD/cSiC4EuqRkxT4IKET7ko3iI5YUS+J5W5 /0xnxxxIpQ== -----END CERTIFICATE-----
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.SignerCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPublicKeyBlob, pubKey, "", "*");
jwt.EncodedJWT = signedData;
jwt.Verify();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for Unsecured (none)
To parse a JWS token without any security call the Sign method without setting the Key or Certificate properties.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.EncodedJWT = signedData;
jwt.Verify();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Encrypting
The Encrypt method may be used to encrypt a payload with a variety of algorithms. To create an encrypted JWT JSON Web Encryption (JWE) is performed by first generating a random key used to encrypt the content. The content encryption key is used to encrypt the content using the algorithm specified by ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. The content encryption key is then encrypted itself using the algorithm specified by EncryptionAlgorithm. The content encryption key is not directly exposed in the API as it is randomly generated.
After calling this method the compact serialized JWT is written to EncodedJWT. For instance:
eyJhbGciOiJBMjU2S1ciLCJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0JDLUhTMjU2In0.4tcAnZJ00u4GY2kLOanPOL4CtvcfraZ8SIi6bOZ27qYBI2rHITPc1Q.c_9rCTdPn-saLCti2ZEyWQ.eLwqqo5BGNa70RlsvT-vTh7Gk0hjpJYY_9Zc39Vim_qEtjyMcxZygBpkfx9brzQr9rUbuiAhoCMXKip2-lKT6w.NkuLDPmWxWL4BaTWHWicIQ
The class will use the values present in the Claim* properties to build the encoded JWT. After calling this method the EncodedJWT property will hold the compact serialized JWT. The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
- EncryptionAlgorithm (required)
- Key (conditional - required for AES)
- KeyPassword (conditional - required for PBES)
- RecipientCert (conditional - required for ECDH and RSA)
- ClaimAudience
- ClaimExp
- ClaimIssuedAt
- ClaimIssuer
- ClaimJWTId
- ClaimNotBefore
- CompressionAlgorithm
- ContentEncryptionAlgorithm
- HeaderParams
- KeyId
Notes for AES Algorithms (A128KW, A192KW, A256KW, A128GCMKW, A192GCMKW, A256GCMKW)
When EncryptionAlgorithm is set to a AES algorithm Key must be set to a key of appropriate length for the algorithm. For instance a 256 bit key would be used for A256KW.
To use an existing AES key provide the bytes to the Key property. For instance:
byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 };
//Encrypt the payload using A256KW
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.EncryptionAlgorithm = JwtEncryptionAlgorithms.eaA256KW;
jwt.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for RSA Algorithms (RSA1_5, RSA-OEAP, RSA-OAEP-256)
The RSA based algorithms use asymmetric encryption. Encrypting is done with a public key and decryption is done with a private key. The public certificate should be in PEM (base64) format. For instance:
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate("..\\recipient.cer");
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.EncryptionAlgorithm = JwtEncryptionAlgorithms.eaRSA_OAEP;
jwt.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for ECDH Algorithms (ECDH-ES, ECDH-ES+A128KW, ECDH-ES+A192KW, ECDH-ES+A256KW)
ECDH algorithms require a valid ECC public key to encrypt the message. If the key was originally created with the ECC class the PEM encoded PublicKey may be used directly with the Certificate property. An example PEM encoded public certificate created by the ECC component:
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- MIIBMjCB7AYHKoZIzj0CATCB4AIBATAsBgcqhkjOPQEBAiEA/////wAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAD///////////////8wRAQg/////wAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD///////////////wEIFrG NdiqOpPns+u9VXaYhrxlHQawzFOw9jvOPD4n0mBLBEEEaxfR8uEsQkf4vOblY6RA8ncDfYEt 6zOg9KE5RdiYwpZP40Li/hp/m47n60p8D54WK84zV2sxXs7LtkBoN79R9QIhAP////8AAAAA //////////+85vqtpxeehPO5ysL8YyVRAgEBA0EEIC5rbLp11Mnz6cBXLLriaDIov3rm8RAY x/OR0bOKiff0cQy+sLVaxjseqFk/+Xvl4ORSv5Z6HdHv5GyEpA0UoA== -----END PUBLIC KEY-----
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPublicKeyFile, pubKeyFile, "", "*");
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.EncryptionAlgorithm = JwtEncryptionAlgorithms.eaECDH_ES_A256KW;
jwt.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
To use an ECC public key created by other means the ECC class may be used to import the key parameters. Populate the Rx and Ry properties of the ECC component first to obtain the PEM formatted public key. For instance:
byte[] x_bytes = new byte[] { 171, 170, 196, 151, 94, 196, 231, 12, 128, 232, 17, 61, 45, 105, 41, 209, 192, 187, 112, 242, 110, 178, 95, 240, 36, 55, 83, 171, 190, 176, 78, 13 };
byte[] y_bytes = new byte[] { 197, 75, 134, 245, 245, 28, 199, 9, 7, 117, 1, 54, 49, 178, 135, 252, 62, 89, 35, 180, 117, 80, 231, 23, 110, 250, 28, 124, 219, 253, 224, 156 };
nsoftware.IPWorksEncrypt.Ecc ecc = new nsoftware.IPWorksEncrypt.Ecc();
ecc.Key.RxB = x_bytes;
ecc.Key.RyB = y_bytes;
string pubKey = ecc.Key.PublicKey;
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPublicKeyFile, pubKey, "", "*");
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.EncryptionAlgorithm = JwtEncryptionAlgorithms.eaECDH_ES_A256KW;
jwt.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for PBES Algorithms (PBES2-HS256+A128KW, PBES2-HS384+A192KW, PBES2-HS512+A256KW
PBES algorithms derive a content encryption key from the KeyPassword property. Set KeyPassword to a shared secret.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.KeyPassword = "secret";
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.EncryptionAlgorithm = JwtEncryptionAlgorithms.eaPBES2_HS512_A256KW;
jwt.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for Direct Shared Keys
When EncryptionAlgorithm is set to Direct the Key property must be set to a valid symmetric key that will be used directly by the ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. In this case a content encryption key is not generated randomly, the Key is used instead. The length of the specified Key must be valid for the selected ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. For instance:
byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 62, 191, 60, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 };
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.EncryptionAlgorithm = JwtEncryptionAlgorithms.eaDir;
jwt.ContentEncryptionAlgorithm = JwtContentEncryptionAlgorithms.ceaA256GCM;
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Decrypting
The Decrypt method may be used to decrypt a received JWE message. Before calling the Decrypt method set EncodedJWT to a valid compact serialized JWT string. For instance:
eyJhbGciOiJBMjU2S1ciLCJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0JDLUhTMjU2In0.4tcAnZJ00u4GY2kLOanPOL4CtvcfraZ8SIi6bOZ27qYBI2rHITPc1Q.c_9rCTdPn-saLCti2ZEyWQ.eLwqqo5BGNa70RlsvT-vTh7Gk0hjpJYY_9Zc39Vim_qEtjyMcxZygBpkfx9brzQr9rUbuiAhoCMXKip2-lKT6w.NkuLDPmWxWL4BaTWHWicIQ
The type and format of the private key depends on the algorithm used to encrypt the data. The following table summarizes the relationship:
Algorithm | Private Key Location |
AES | Key |
RSA and ECDH | Certificate |
PBES | KeyPassword |
If this method returns without error decryption was successful. If decryption fails then this method fails with an error. After calling this method the payload will be present in the Claim* properties and the HeaderParams property will contain the headers. Headers of the parsed message are also available through the HeaderParam event.
The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
- Certificate (conditional - required for RSA and ECDH)
- EncodedJWT
- Key (conditional - required for AES)
- ContentEncryptionAlgorithm (only if StrictValidation is True)
- EncryptionAlgorithm (only if StrictValidation is True)
- HeaderParams
- StrictValidation
After calling this method the following properties are populated:
Notes for AES Algorithms (A128KW, A192KW, A256KW, A128GCMKW, A192GCMKW, A256GCMKW)
To decrypt messages that use AES encryption Key must be set to a key of appropriate length for the algorithm. For instance a 256 bit key would be used for A256KW.
The key must be known by both parties in order for encryption and decryption to take place.
byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 };
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.EncodedJWT = encryptedData;
jwt.Decrypt();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for RSA Algorithms (RSA1_5, RSA-OEAP, RSA-OAEP-256)
The RSA based algorithms use asymmetric encryption. Encrypting is done with a public key and decryption is done with a private key. The certificate with private key must be specified. For instance:
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "..\\jwt.pfx", "password", "*");
jwt.EncodedJWT = encryptedData;
jwt.Decrypt();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for ECDH Algorithms (ECDH-ES, ECDH-ES+A128KW, ECDH-ES+A192KW, ECDH-ES+A256KW)
ECDH algorithms require a valid ECC private key to decrypt the message. If the key was originally created with the ECC class the PEM encoded PrivateKey may be used directly with the Certificate property.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPEMKeyFile, privKeyFile, "", "*");
jwt.EncodedJWT = encryptedData;
jwt.Decrypt();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
To use an ECC private key created by other means the ECC class may be used to import the key parameters. Populate the Rx, Ry, and KB properties of the ECC component first to obtain the PEM formatted public key. For instance:
nsoftware.IPWorksEncrypt.Ecc ecc = new nsoftware.IPWorksEncrypt.Ecc();
byte[] x_bytes = new byte[] { 171, 170, 196, 151, 94, 196, 231, 12, 128, 232, 17, 61, 45, 105, 41, 209, 192, 187, 112, 242, 110, 178, 95, 240, 36, 55, 83, 171, 190, 176, 78, 13 };
byte[] y_bytes = new byte[] { 197, 75, 134, 245, 245, 28, 199, 9, 7, 117, 1, 54, 49, 178, 135, 252, 62, 89, 35, 180, 117, 80, 231, 23, 110, 250, 28, 124, 219, 253, 224, 156 };
byte[] k_bytes = new byte[] { 81, 65, 201, 24, 235, 249, 162, 148, 169, 150, 109, 181, 61, 238, 145, 122, 31, 30, 151, 94, 239, 90, 222, 217, 63, 103, 54, 2, 176, 232, 248, 168 };
ecc.Key.RxB = x_bytes;
ecc.Key.RyB = y_bytes;
ecc.Key.KB = k_bytes;
string privKey = ecc.Key.PrivateKey;
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPEMKeyBlob, privKey, "", "*");
jwt.EncodedJWT = encryptedData;
jwt.Decrypt();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for PBES Algorithms (PBES2-HS256+A128KW, PBES2-HS384+A192KW, PBES2-HS512+A256KW
PBES algorithms derive a content encryption key from the KeyPassword property. Set KeyPassword to the shared secret.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.KeyPassword = "secret";
jwt.EncodedJWT = encryptedData;
jwt.Decrypt();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for Direct Shared Keys
When Direct encryption is used the Key property must be set to a valid symmetric key that will be used directly by the ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. For instance:
byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 };
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.EncodedJWT = encryptedData;
jwt.Decrypt();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;

Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetKey(char* &lpKey, int &lenKey);
int SetKey(const char* lpKey, int lenKey); Unicode (Windows) INT GetKey(LPSTR &lpKey, INT &lenKey);
INT SetKey(LPCSTR lpKey, INT lenKey);

QByteArray GetKey();
int SetKey(QByteArray qbaKey);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property specifies the key used when signing with an HMAC algorithm or encrypting with an AES algorithm.
Signing
This property is applicable when SigningAlgorithm is set to an HMAC algorithm.
It is recommended that the length of the key be equal to or larger than the hash size of the algorithm. Use of keys shorter than the hash size is discouraged.
Sizes (in bytes)
SHA1 | SHA224 | SHA256 | SHA384 | SHA512 | MD5 | RIPEMD160 | |
Recommended Key Size | 20 | 28 | 32 | 48 | 64 | 16 | 20 |
Hash Size | 20 | 28 | 32 | 48 | 64 | 16 | 20 |
Block Size | 64 | 64 | 64 | 128 | 128 | 64 | 64 |
Key Length Details
As mentioned above it is recommended to use a key size equal to the hash size. Use of keys larger than the hash size does not typically significantly increase the function strength. Keys of any length are technically valid however see the below processing rules to understand how keys of varying lengths are treated:
- If the key length is equal to the hash size (recommended) it is used without modification.
- If the key length is less than the hash size it is used without modification.
- If the key length is less than or equal to the block size it is used without modification.
- If the key length is larger than the block size is it first hashed with the same algorithm.
Encrypting
When EncryptionAlgorithm is set to an AES algorithm this property must hold the symmetric key used for encryption and decryption. The size of the key must match the size of the algorithm. For instance when selecting the algorithm A256GCMKW (AES 256) the size of the key must also be 256 bits (32 bytes).
In the case where EncryptionAlgorithm is set to Direct this key is used directly with the algorithm specified by ContentEncryptionAlgorithm and must be an appropriate size for the selected ContentEncryptionAlgorithm.

Data Type
Integer
AddClaim Method (JWT Class)
Adds an new claim.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int AddClaim(const char* lpszname, const char* lpszvalue, int idataType); Unicode (Windows) INT AddClaim(LPCWSTR lpszname, LPCWSTR lpszvalue, INT idataType);
int ipworksauth_jwt_addclaim(void* lpObj, const char* lpszname, const char* lpszvalue, int idataType);
int AddClaim(const QString& qsname, const QString& qsvalue, int idataType);
Remarks
This method adds a claim to the existing claims. Use this method to add claims that are not already supported directly via properties.

- 0 (Object)
- 1 (Array)
- 2 (String)
- 3 (Number)
- 4 (Bool)
- 5 (Null)
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
AddHeaderParam Method (JWT Class)
Adds additional header parameters.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int AddHeaderParam(const char* lpszname, const char* lpszvalue, int idataType); Unicode (Windows) INT AddHeaderParam(LPCWSTR lpszname, LPCWSTR lpszvalue, INT idataType);
int ipworksauth_jwt_addheaderparam(void* lpObj, const char* lpszname, const char* lpszvalue, int idataType);
int AddHeaderParam(const QString& qsname, const QString& qsvalue, int idataType);
Remarks
This method is used to add additional header parameters before calling Encrypt or Sign.
The Name and Value parameters define the name and value of the parameter respectively. The DataType parameter specifies the JSON data type of the value. Possible values for DataType are:
- 0 (Object)
- 1 (Array)
- 2 (String)
- 3 (Number)
- 4 (Bool)
- 5 (Null)
Signing
To add additional parameters to the JOSE header use this method. For instance to create this header:
{ "alg": "HS256", "crit": [ "myheader" ], "myheader": "testvalue" }
The following code can be used:
byte[] key = new byte[] { 170, 171, 221, 209, 7, 181, 48, 178, 48, 118, 242, 132, 36, 218, 74, 140, 216, 165, 161, 70, 11, 42, 246, 205, 235, 231, 19, 48, 87, 141, 122, 10 };
//Sign the payload using HS256
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.SigningAlgorithm = JwtSigningAlgorithms.saHS256;
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.AddHeaderParam("crit", "[\"myheader\"]", 1);
jwt.AddHeaderParam("myheader", "testvalue", 2);
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.Sign();
string signedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Note: when calling Sign the class will automatically add some headers based on properties that are set.
Parameters Automatically Set:
Header Param | Property |
alg | Algorithm |
kid | KeyId |
Encrypting
To add additional parameters to the JOSE header use this method. For instance to create this header:
{ "alg": "A256GCMKW", "enc": "A128CBC-HS256", "iv": "cPTXlBL7aMiv-Dnf", "tag": "r5tmS-tXmfFngrybpnnt5g", "crit": [ "myheader" ], "myheader": "testvalue" }
The following code can be used:
byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 };
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.AddHeaderParam("crit", "[\"myheader\"]",1);
jwt.AddHeaderParam("myheader", "testvalue",2);
jwt.EncryptionAlgorithm = JwtEncryptionAlgorithms.eaA256GCMKW;
jwt.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Note: When calling Encrypt the class will automatically add headers based on the selected EncryptionAlgorithm and other properties that may be set.
Parameters Automatically Set:
Header Param | Property |
alg | EncryptionAlgorithm |
enc | ContentEncryptionAlgorithm |
kid | KeyId |
zip | CompressionAlgorithm |
p2c | PBES2Count (PBES Algorithms Only) |

p2s | N/A - Automatically Generated (PBES Algorithms Only) |
epk | N/A - Automatically Generated (ECDH Algorithms Only) |
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
Config Method (JWT Class)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);
char* ipworksauth_jwt_config(void* lpObj, const char* lpszConfigurationString);
QString Config(const QString& qsConfigurationString);
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
Decrypt Method (JWT Class)
Decrypts the encoded JWT.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Decrypt(); Unicode (Windows) INT Decrypt();
int ipworksauth_jwt_decrypt(void* lpObj);
int Decrypt();
Remarks
This method decrypts the encoded JWT.
Before calling the Decrypt method set EncodedJWT to a valid compact serialized JWT string. For instance:
eyJhbGciOiJBMjU2S1ciLCJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0JDLUhTMjU2In0.4tcAnZJ00u4GY2kLOanPOL4CtvcfraZ8SIi6bOZ27qYBI2rHITPc1Q.c_9rCTdPn-saLCti2ZEyWQ.eLwqqo5BGNa70RlsvT-vTh7Gk0hjpJYY_9Zc39Vim_qEtjyMcxZygBpkfx9brzQr9rUbuiAhoCMXKip2-lKT6w.NkuLDPmWxWL4BaTWHWicIQ
The type and format of the private key depends on the algorithm used to encrypt the data. The following table summarizes the relationship:
Algorithm | Private Key Location |
AES | Key |
RSA and ECDH | Certificate |
PBES | KeyPassword |
If this method returns without error decryption was successful. If decryption fails then this method fails with an error. After calling this method the payload will be present in the Claim* properties and the HeaderParams property will contain the headers. Headers of the parsed message are also available through the HeaderParam event.
The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
- Certificate (conditional - required for RSA and ECDH)
- EncodedJWT
- Key (conditional - required for AES)
- ContentEncryptionAlgorithm (only if StrictValidation is True)
- EncryptionAlgorithm (only if StrictValidation is True)
- HeaderParams
- StrictValidation
After calling this method the following properties are populated:
Notes for AES Algorithms (A128KW, A192KW, A256KW, A128GCMKW, A192GCMKW, A256GCMKW)
To decrypt messages that use AES encryption Key must be set to a key of appropriate length for the algorithm. For instance a 256 bit key would be used for A256KW.
The key must be known by both parties in order for encryption and decryption to take place.
byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 };
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.EncodedJWT = encryptedData;
jwt.Decrypt();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for RSA Algorithms (RSA1_5, RSA-OEAP, RSA-OAEP-256)
The RSA based algorithms use asymmetric encryption. Encrypting is done with a public key and decryption is done with a private key. The certificate with private key must be specified. For instance:
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "..\\jwt.pfx", "password", "*");
jwt.EncodedJWT = encryptedData;
jwt.Decrypt();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for ECDH Algorithms (ECDH-ES, ECDH-ES+A128KW, ECDH-ES+A192KW, ECDH-ES+A256KW)
ECDH algorithms require a valid ECC private key to decrypt the message. If the key was originally created with the ECC class the PEM encoded PrivateKey may be used directly with the Certificate property.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPEMKeyFile, privKeyFile, "", "*");
jwt.EncodedJWT = encryptedData;
jwt.Decrypt();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
To use an ECC private key created by other means the ECC class may be used to import the key parameters. Populate the Rx, Ry, and KB properties of the ECC component first to obtain the PEM formatted public key. For instance:
nsoftware.IPWorksEncrypt.Ecc ecc = new nsoftware.IPWorksEncrypt.Ecc();
byte[] x_bytes = new byte[] { 171, 170, 196, 151, 94, 196, 231, 12, 128, 232, 17, 61, 45, 105, 41, 209, 192, 187, 112, 242, 110, 178, 95, 240, 36, 55, 83, 171, 190, 176, 78, 13 };
byte[] y_bytes = new byte[] { 197, 75, 134, 245, 245, 28, 199, 9, 7, 117, 1, 54, 49, 178, 135, 252, 62, 89, 35, 180, 117, 80, 231, 23, 110, 250, 28, 124, 219, 253, 224, 156 };
byte[] k_bytes = new byte[] { 81, 65, 201, 24, 235, 249, 162, 148, 169, 150, 109, 181, 61, 238, 145, 122, 31, 30, 151, 94, 239, 90, 222, 217, 63, 103, 54, 2, 176, 232, 248, 168 };
ecc.Key.RxB = x_bytes;
ecc.Key.RyB = y_bytes;
ecc.Key.KB = k_bytes;
string privKey = ecc.Key.PrivateKey;
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPEMKeyBlob, privKey, "", "*");
jwt.EncodedJWT = encryptedData;
jwt.Decrypt();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for PBES Algorithms (PBES2-HS256+A128KW, PBES2-HS384+A192KW, PBES2-HS512+A256KW
PBES algorithms derive a content encryption key from the KeyPassword property. Set KeyPassword to the shared secret.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.KeyPassword = "secret";
jwt.EncodedJWT = encryptedData;
jwt.Decrypt();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for Direct Shared Keys
When Direct encryption is used the Key property must be set to a valid symmetric key that will be used directly by the ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. For instance:
byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 };
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.EncodedJWT = encryptedData;
jwt.Decrypt();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
Encrypt Method (JWT Class)
Encrypts the claims with the specified algorithms.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Encrypt(); Unicode (Windows) INT Encrypt();
int ipworksauth_jwt_encrypt(void* lpObj);
int Encrypt();
Remarks
This method encrypts the claims using the specified algorithms.
To create an encrypted JWT JSON Web Encryption (JWE) is performed by first generating a random key used to encrypt the content. The content encryption key is used to encrypt the content using the algorithm specified by ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. The content encryption key is then encrypted itself using the algorithm specified by EncryptionAlgorithm. The content encryption key is not directly exposed in the API as it is randomly generated.
After calling this method the compact serialized JWT is written to EncodedJWT. For instance:
eyJhbGciOiJBMjU2S1ciLCJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0JDLUhTMjU2In0.4tcAnZJ00u4GY2kLOanPOL4CtvcfraZ8SIi6bOZ27qYBI2rHITPc1Q.c_9rCTdPn-saLCti2ZEyWQ.eLwqqo5BGNa70RlsvT-vTh7Gk0hjpJYY_9Zc39Vim_qEtjyMcxZygBpkfx9brzQr9rUbuiAhoCMXKip2-lKT6w.NkuLDPmWxWL4BaTWHWicIQ
The class will use the values present in the Claim* properties to build the encoded JWT. After calling this method the EncodedJWT property will hold the compact serialized JWT. The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
- EncryptionAlgorithm (required)
- Key (conditional - required for AES)
- KeyPassword (conditional - required for PBES)
- RecipientCert (conditional - required for ECDH and RSA)
- ClaimAudience
- ClaimExp
- ClaimIssuedAt
- ClaimIssuer
- ClaimJWTId
- ClaimNotBefore
- CompressionAlgorithm
- ContentEncryptionAlgorithm
- HeaderParams
- KeyId
Notes for AES Algorithms (A128KW, A192KW, A256KW, A128GCMKW, A192GCMKW, A256GCMKW)
When EncryptionAlgorithm is set to a AES algorithm Key must be set to a key of appropriate length for the algorithm. For instance a 256 bit key would be used for A256KW.
To use an existing AES key provide the bytes to the Key property. For instance:
byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 };
//Encrypt the payload using A256KW
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.EncryptionAlgorithm = JwtEncryptionAlgorithms.eaA256KW;
jwt.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for RSA Algorithms (RSA1_5, RSA-OEAP, RSA-OAEP-256)
The RSA based algorithms use asymmetric encryption. Encrypting is done with a public key and decryption is done with a private key. The public certificate should be in PEM (base64) format. For instance:
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate("..\\recipient.cer");
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.EncryptionAlgorithm = JwtEncryptionAlgorithms.eaRSA_OAEP;
jwt.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for ECDH Algorithms (ECDH-ES, ECDH-ES+A128KW, ECDH-ES+A192KW, ECDH-ES+A256KW)
ECDH algorithms require a valid ECC public key to encrypt the message. If the key was originally created with the ECC class the PEM encoded PublicKey may be used directly with the Certificate property. An example PEM encoded public certificate created by the ECC component:

jwt.EncryptionAlgorithm = JwtEncryptionAlgorithms.eaECDH_ES_A256KW;
jwt.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
To use an ECC public key created by other means the ECC class may be used to import the key parameters. Populate the Rx and Ry properties of the ECC component first to obtain the PEM formatted public key. For instance:
byte[] x_bytes = new byte[] { 171, 170, 196, 151, 94, 196, 231, 12, 128, 232, 17, 61, 45, 105, 41, 209, 192, 187, 112, 242, 110, 178, 95, 240, 36, 55, 83, 171, 190, 176, 78, 13 };
byte[] y_bytes = new byte[] { 197, 75, 134, 245, 245, 28, 199, 9, 7, 117, 1, 54, 49, 178, 135, 252, 62, 89, 35, 180, 117, 80, 231, 23, 110, 250, 28, 124, 219, 253, 224, 156 };

string encryptedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for PBES Algorithms (PBES2-HS256+A128KW, PBES2-HS384+A192KW, PBES2-HS512+A256KW
PBES algorithms derive a content encryption key from the KeyPassword property. Set KeyPassword to a shared secret.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();

jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.EncryptionAlgorithm = JwtEncryptionAlgorithms.eaPBES2_HS512_A256KW;
jwt.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for Direct Shared Keys
When EncryptionAlgorithm is set to Direct the Key property must be set to a valid symmetric key that will be used directly by the ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. In this case a content encryption key is not generated randomly, the Key is used instead. The length of the specified Key must be valid for the selected ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. For instance:
byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 62, 191, 60, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 };

ANSI (Cross Platform) int Parse(); Unicode (Windows) INT Parse();
int ipworksauth_jwt_parse(void* lpObj);
int Parse();
Remarks
This method parses, but does not verify the encoded JWT.
Take care when using this method as no verification or decryption is performed. This method may be helpful in cases where only header information is desired.
If verification or decryption is desired, use Verify or Decrypt instead. It is not necessary to call this method before calling Verify or Decrypt. Verify or Decrypt will both parse and decrypt the message.
When calling this method the headers are parsed. The HeaderParam and RecipientInfo events will fire and the HeaderParams property will be populated.
If the message is signed (not encrypted) the claims will also be parsed and the Claim* properties will be populated.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
Reset Method (JWT Class)
Resets the class properties.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Reset(); Unicode (Windows) INT Reset();
int ipworksauth_jwt_reset(void* lpObj);
int Reset();
Remarks
This method resets all message and key properties to their default values.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
Sign Method (JWT Class)
Signs the payload with the specified algorithm.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Sign(); Unicode (Windows) INT Sign();
int ipworksauth_jwt_sign(void* lpObj);
int Sign();
Remarks
This method signs the claims specified by the Claim* properties with the specified SigningAlgorithm.
Before calling the Sign method set SigningAlgorithm to the algorithm which will be used to sign the message. The result of signing is a compact serialized JWT string. For instance:
eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJhdWQiOlsiYXVkaWVuY2UiXSwiaXNzIjoiaXNzdWVyIn0.mlFETSma4WUcUSjNSUWA1n9QBcQHCkHN-y4zeBsCVqI
The class will use the values present in the Claim* properties to build the encoded JWT. After calling this method the EncodedJWT property will hold the compact serialized JWT. The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
- SigningAlgorithm (required)
- Certificate (conditional - required for ECDSA and RSA)
- Key (conditional - required for HMAC)
- ClaimAudience
- ClaimExp
- ClaimIssuedAt
- ClaimIssuer
- ClaimJWTId
- ClaimNotBefore
- HeaderParams
- KeyId
Notes for HMAC Algorithms (HS256, HS384, HS512)
When SigningAlgorithm is set to a HMAC algorithm Key must be set to a key of appropriate length for the algorithm. The Key should be the same number of bits as the algorithm being used. For instance a 256 bit key would be used for HS256.
The key must be known by both parties in order for signing and verification to take place. To use an existing HMAC key provide the bytes to the Key property. For instance:
//HMAC SHA-256 Key
byte[] key = new byte[] { 170, 171, 221, 209, 7, 181, 48, 178, 48, 118, 242, 132, 36, 218, 74, 140, 216, 165, 161, 70, 11, 42, 246, 205, 235, 231, 19, 48, 87, 141, 122, 10 };
//Sign the payload using HS256

jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.Sign();
string signedData = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for RSA Algorithms (RS256, RS384, RS512, PS256, PS384, PS512)
The RSA based algorithms use asymmetric encryption. Signing is done with a private key and verification is done with a public key. The private key may be in PFX or PEM format.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.SigningAlgorithm = JwtSigningAlgorithms.saRS256;
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "..\\jwt.pfx", "test", "*");
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.Sign();
string signedMessage = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for ECDSA Algorithms (ES256, ES384, ES512)
ECDSA algorithms require a valid ECC private key in order to sign data. The Certificate property should be set to a certificate with an ECC key. The CertMgr class can be used to create a certificate with an ECC key.
//Create an ECC key with SHA-256
Certmgr mgr = new Certmgr();
mgr.Config("CertPublicKeyAlgorithm=ECDSA_P256");
mgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPEMKeyFile;
mgr.CertStore = "C:\\temp\\ecdsa.pem";
mgr.CreateCertificate("CN=ecdsa", 123);
//Sign the payload using ES256
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.SigningAlgorithm = JwtSigningAlgorithms.saES256;
jwt.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPEMKeyFile, "C:\\temp\\ecdsa.pem", "", "*");
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.Sign();
string signedMessage = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Notes for Unsecured (none)
To create a JWS token without any security set SigningAlgorithm to jwtNone.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.SigningAlgorithm = JwtSigningAlgorithms.saNone;
jwt.ClaimAudience = "audience";
jwt.ClaimIssuer = "issuer";
jwt.ClaimExp = "1498508071";
jwt.Sign();
string unsecuredMessage = jwt.EncodedJWT;
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
Verify Method (JWT Class)
Verifies the signature of the encoded JWT.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int Verify(); Unicode (Windows) INT Verify();
int ipworksauth_jwt_verify(void* lpObj);
int Verify();
Remarks
This method verifies the signature of the encoded JWT.
Before calling the Verify method set EncodedJWT to a valid compact serialized JWT. For instance:
eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJhdWQiOlsiYXVkaWVuY2UiXSwiaXNzIjoiaXNzdWVyIn0.mlFETSma4WUcUSjNSUWA1n9QBcQHCkHN-y4zeBsCVqI
The Key or SignerCert properties should be set to the HMAC key or public certificate respectively. If the correct Key or SignerCert is not known ahead of time the KeyId parameter of the SignerInfo event may be used to identify the correct key.
If this method returns without error verification was successful. If verification fails then this method fails with an error. After calling this method the claims will be parsed and the Claim* properties will be populated. The the HeaderParams property will contain the headers. Headers of the parsed message are also available through the HeaderParam event.
The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
- EncodedJWT (required)
- Key (conditional - required for HMAC)
- SignerCert (conditional - required for ECDSA and RSA)
- SigningAlgorithm (only if StrictValidation is True)
- StrictValidation
- ExpectedAudience (optional)
- ExpectedExp (optional)
- ExpectedIssuedAt (optional)
- ExpectedIssuer (optional)
- ExpectedJWTId (optional)
- ExpectedNotBefore (optional)
- ExpectedSubject (optional)
After calling this method the following properties are populated:
Notes for HMAC Algorithms (HS256, HS384, HS512)
When verifying a message originally signed with a HMAC algorithm Key must be set to the same key used during signing. The key must be known by both parties in order for signing and verification to take place.
byte[] key = new byte[] { 170, 171, 221, 209, 7, 181, 48, 178, 48, 118, 242, 132, 36, 218, 74, 140, 216, 165, 161, 70, 11, 42, 246, 205, 235, 231, 19, 48, 87, 141, 122, 10 };
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.KeyB = key;
jwt.EncodedJWT = signedData;
jwt.Verify();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for RSA Algorithms (RS256, RS384, RS512, PS256, PS384, PS512)
The RSA based algorithms use asymmetric encryption. Signing is done with a private key and verification is done with a public key. The public key is typically in PEM format.
Jwt jwt = new Jwt();
jwt.SignerCert = new Certificate("..\\jwt.cer");
jwt.EncodedJWT = signedData;
jwt.Verify();
string issuer = jwt.ClaimIssuer;
Notes for ECDSA Algorithms (ES256, ES384, ES512)
ECDSA algorithms require a valid ECC public key to verify the message. The PEM encoded public key may be used directly with the Certificate property. An example PEM encoded public certificate created by the CertMgr class:

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.
The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.
The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:
Field | Meaning |
CN | Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com. |
O | Organization |
OU | Organizational Unit |
L | Locality |
S | State |
C | Country |
E | Email Address |
If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.
Encoded
char*
Default Value: ""
The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This field is used to assign a specific certificate. The Store and Subject fields also may be used to specify a certificate.
When Encoded is set, a search is initiated in the current Store for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, Subject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, Subject is set to an empty string.
Constructors
Certificate()
Creates a instance whose properties can be set. This is useful for use with when generating new certificates.
Certificate(const char* lpEncoded, int lenEncoded)
Parses Encoded as an X.509 public key.
Certificate(int iStoreType, const char* lpStore, int lenStore, const char* lpszStorePassword, const char* lpszSubject)
StoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a byte array containing the certificate data. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store.
After the store has been successfully opened, the component will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN). The Subject parameter can also take an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load in a "Thumbprint=value" format.
HeaderParam Type

IPWorksAuthList Type
Syntax
IPWorksAuthList<T> (declared in ipworksauth.h)
Remarks
IPWorksAuthList is a generic class that is used to hold a collection of objects of type T, where T is one of the custom types supported by the JWT class.
Methods | |
GetCount |
This method returns the current size of the collection.
int GetCount() {}
|
SetCount |
This method sets the size of the collection. This method returns 0 if setting the size was successful; or -1 if the collection is ReadOnly. When adding additional objects to a collection call this method to specify the new size. Increasing the size of the collection preserves existing objects in the collection.
int SetCount(int count) {}
|
Get |
This method gets the item at the specified position. The index parameter specifies the index of the item in the collection. This method returns NULL if an invalid index is specified.
T* Get(int index) {}
|
Set |
This method sets the item at the specified position. The index parameter specifies the index of the item in the collection that is being set. This method returns -1 if an invalid index is specified. Note: Objects created using the new operator must be freed using the delete operator; they will not be automatically freed by the class.
T* Set(int index, T* value) {}
|
Config Settings (JWT Class)
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.JWT Config Settings
- HS256
- HS384
- HS512
- RS256
- RS384
- RS512
- ES256
- ES384
- ES512
- PS256
- PS384
- PS512
Example value: HS512,HS256.
When setting ClaimAudience that contains multiple audiences specify multiple value separated by the character set here. For instance:
jwt.ClaimAudience = "aud1;aud2";
- 0 (none - default)
- 1 (deflate)
Multiple formats may be included in the signed message. The value specified should be the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:
Value | Description | JWS Header Param |
0 (0x00 - default) | None | |
1 (0x01) | X.509 Certificate Chain | x5c |
2 (0x02) | X.509 Certificate SHA-1 Thumbprint (Base64-URL encoded) | x5t |
4 (0x04) | X.509 Certificate SHA-256 Thumbprint (Base64-URL encoded) | x5t#S256 |
Note: When including the certificate chain (0x01) the public certificate of Certificate property will automatically be included. IssuerCerts may also be set to the public issuer certificates that will be used when building the chain to include.
For instance, to include both the certificate chain and SHA-256 thumbprint of the Certificate set this to 5.
The format of the value must be one or more PEM encoded certificates with headers and footers. For instance to include 2 issuer certificates the value may be:

FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the UseFIPSCompliantAPI configuration setting to true. This is a static setting that applies to all instances of all classes of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.
For more details, please see the FIPS 140-2 Compliance article.
Note: This setting is applicable only on Windows.
Note: Enabling FIPS compliance requires a special license; please contact sales@nsoftware.com for details.
Setting this configuration setting to true tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
On Windows, this setting is set to false by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to true by default.
To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the OpenSSL Notes section.
