NAME
Crypt::JWT - JSON Web Token (JWT, JWS, JWE) as defined by RFC7519,
RFC7515, RFC7516
SYNOPSIS
# encoding
use Crypt::JWT qw(encode_jwt);
my $jws_token = encode_jwt(payload=>$data, alg=>'HS256', key=>'secret');
my $jwe_token = encode_jwt(payload=>$data, alg=>'PBES2-HS256+A128KW', enc=>'A128GCM', key=>'secret');
# decoding
use Crypt::JWT qw(decode_jwt);
my $data1 = decode_jwt(token=>$jws_token, key=>'secret');
my $data2 = decode_jwt(token=>$jwe_token, key=>'secret');
DESCRIPTION
Implements JSON Web Token (JWT) - <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519>.
The implementation covers not only JSON Web Signature (JWS) -
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7515>, but also JSON Web Encryption
(JWE) - <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7516>.
The module implements all (100%) algorithms defined in
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7518> - JSON Web Algorithms (JWA).
This module supports Compact JWS/JWE and Flattened JWS/JWE JSON
serialization, general JSON serialization is not supported yet.
EXPORT
Nothing is exported by default.
You can export selected functions:
use Crypt::JWT qw(decode_jwt encode_jwt);
Or all of them at once:
use Crypt::JWT ':all';

keypass
When 'key' parameter is an encrypted private RSA or ECC key this
optional parameter may contain a password for private key
decryption.
kid_keys
This parametes can be either a JWK Set JSON string (see RFC7517) or
a perl HASH ref with JWK Set structure like this:
my $keylist = {
keys => [
{ kid=>"key1", kty=>"oct", k=>"GawgguFyGrWKav7AX4VKUg" },
{ kid=>"key2", kty=>"oct", k=>"ulxLGy4XqhbpkR5ObGh1gX" },
]
};
my $payload = decode_jwt(token=>$t, kid_keys=>$keylist);
Since 0.19 we also support:
use LWP::Simple;
my $google_certs = get('https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs');
my $payload = decode_jwt(token => $t, kid_keys => $google_certs);
When the token header contains 'kid' item the corresponding key is
looked up in "kid_keys" list and used for token decoding (you do not
need to pass the explicit key via "key" parameter).

decode_payload
0 - do not decode payload, return it as a raw string (octects).

keypass
When 'key' parameter is an encrypted private RSA or ECC key this
optional parameter may contain a password for private key
decryption.
allow_none
1 - allow JWS with "none" 'alg' header value (which means that token
has no signature), BEWARE: DANGEROUS, UNSECURE!!!
0 (default) - do not allow JWS with "none" 'alg' header value
extra_headers
This optional parameter may contain a HASH ref with items that will
be added to JWT header.
If you want to use PBES2-based 'alg' like "PBES2-HS512+A256KW" you
can set PBES2 salt len (p2s) in bytes and iteration count (p2c) via
"extra_headers" like this:
my $token = encode_jwt(payload=>$p, key=>$k, alg=>'PBES2-HS512+A256KW', extra_headers=>{p2c=8000, p2s=>32});
#NOTE: handling of p2s header is a special case, in the end it is replaced with the generated salt
unprotected_headers
A hash with additional integrity unprotected headers - JWS and JWE
(not available for "compact" serialization);
shared_unprotected_headers
A hash with additional integrity unprotected headers - JWE only (not
available for "compact" serialization);
aad Additional Authenticated Data - scalar value with any (even raw
octects) data - JWE only (not available for "compact"
serialization);
serialization
Specify serialization method: "compat" (= default) for Compact
JWS/JWE serialization or "flattened" for Flattened JWS/JWE JSON
serialization.
General JSON serialization is not supported yet.
zip Compression method, currently 'deflate' is the only one supported.
"undef" (default) means no compression.
my $token = encode_jwt(payload=>$p, key=>$k, alg=>'HS256', zip=>'deflate');
#or define compression level
my $token = encode_jwt(payload=>$p, key=>$k, alg=>'HS256', zip=>['deflate', 9]);
auto_iat
1 - set 'iat' (Issued At) claim to current time (epoch seconds since
1970) at the moment of token encoding
0 (default) - do not set 'iat' claim
NOTE: claims are part of the payload and can be used only if the
payload is a HASH ref!
relative_exp
Set 'exp' claim (Expiration Time) to current time + "relative_exp"
value (in seconds).
NOTE: claims are part of the payload and can be used only if the
payload is a HASH ref!
relative_nbf
Set 'nbf' claim (Not Before) to current time + "relative_nbf" value
(in seconds).
NOTE: claims are part of the payload and can be used only if the
payload is a HASH ref!
