Module jwt 

Implements limited JSON Web Token functionality for our purposes.

Created to reduce dependencies, and more immediately fix for this bug in rust’s ring crate was not yet stable at the time of writing: https://github.com/briansmith/ring/issues/1299

Modules

expecting

Some common FnOnce(Some(T))->Result<(),jwt::Error>s for calling Claims::check and co.

Structs

Claims

Represents a set of claims made by a JWT.

HS256

Key for SHA256 based HMAC

Header 🔒

Represents a JWT header.

HeaderType 🔒

Used to check that the typ field of the jwt header equals JWT (modulo case).

IgnoreSignature

A VerifyingKey that neglects to check the signature and alg header.

JWT

Wrapper around String to indicate it should be interpretted as a JWT.

NumericDate

Represents the value of the iat, exp, nbf claims.

NumericDateVisitor 🔒

Visitor for the implementation of Deserialize for NumericDate.

OutOfRange

A value falls outside the NumericDate invariant range (before the unix epoch, or after the last second of year 9999). Returned by fallible, non-clamping operations such as the TryFrom<SystemTime> conversion.

RS256Sk

RS256 private key

RS256Vk

RS256 public key

Enums

Error

Constants

MAX_TIMESTAMP_SECS 🔒

Invariant upper bound of NumericDate (see its docs): 9999-12-31T23:59:59Z.

Traits

Key

What SigningKey and VerifyingKey have in common.

SigningKey

Represents a key that can be used to sign a JWT.

VerifyingKey

Represents a key that can be used to verify the signature on a JWT.

Functions

get_current_timestamp

Gets the number of seconds since the Unix epoch, which is an appropriate value for the “iat” field.

sign

Signs claims using key yielding a JWT.
