PHP JOSE (JSON Object Signing and Encryption) Implementation
Installation
composer require maksimovic/jose-php
Requirements
PHP 7.2 or later. phpseclib v2 is required (installed automatically via Composer).
Example
JWT
Encoding
$jwt = new JOSE_JWT(array( 'foo' => 'bar' )); $jwt->toString();
Decoding
$jwt_string = 'eyJ...'; $jwt = JOSE_JWT::decode($jwt_string);
JWS
Signing
$private_key = "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n...."; $jwt = new JOSE_JWT(array( 'foo' => 'bar' )); $jws = $jwt->sign($private_key, 'RS256');
NOTE: $private_key can be a phpseclib\Crypt\RSA instance.
Verification
$public_key = "-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----\n...."; $jwt_string = 'eyJ...'; $jws = JOSE_JWT::decode($jwt_string); $jws->verify($public_key, 'RS256');
NOTE: $public_key can be a JOSE_JWK or phpseclib\Crypt\RSA instance.
JWE
Encryption
$jwe = new JOSE_JWE($plain_text); $jwe->encrypt(file_get_contents('/path/to/public_key.pem')); $jwe->toString();
Decryption
$jwt_string = 'eyJ...'; $jwe = JOSE_JWT::decode($jwt_string); $jwe->decrypt($private_key);
JWK
Encode
RSA Public Key
$public_key = new phpseclib\Crypt\RSA(); $public_key->loadKey('-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----\n...'); JOSE_JWK::encode($public_key); # => JOSE_JWK instance
RSA Private Key
$private_key = new phpseclib\Crypt\RSA(); $private_key->setPassword($pass_phrase); # skip if not encrypted $private_key->loadKey('-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n...'); JOSE_JWK::encode($private_key); # => JOSE_JWK instance
Decode
RSA Public Key
$components = array( 'kty' => 'RSA', 'e' => 'AQAB', 'n' => 'x9vNhcvSrxjsegZAAo4OEuo...' ); JOSE_JWK::decode($components); # => phpseclib\Crypt\RSA instance
RSA Private Key
Not supported.
