Signed Tokens (JWS)

To use the signed tokens (JWS), you have to install the web-token/jwt-signature componentarrow-up-right.

composer require web-token/jwt-signature

This component provides lot of signature algorithms and classes to load and create signed tokens.

Please refer to this signature algorithm table to know what algorithms are available.

Then, you will find an example to create a signed token here and another example to load and verify incoming tokens.

Key (JWK) and Key Set (JWKSet)

To perform cryptographic operations (signature/verification and encryption/decryption), you will also need keys.

The JWK object is part of the web-token/jwt-core component:

composer require web-token/jwt-core

hashtag
JWK

A JWK object represents a key. It contains all parameters needed by the algorithm and may also provide information parameters.

This framework is able to create private and public keys easily. It can also generate those keys from external resources such as binary key files or certificates.

hashtag
JWKSet

The keys can be grouped in key sets. A JWKSet object represents a key set. It can contain as many keys as you need.

circle-exclamation

We strongly recommend you to avoid mixing public, private or shared keys in the same key set.

Claim Checker

JSON Web Tokens can be used to transport any kind of data. They are mainly used to transport claims. When you receive a tokens that contains claims, it is important to check the values of these claims.

The Claim Checker Manager is responsible of this task. To use it, install the corresponding component:

hashtag
Claim Checker Manager

In the following example, we will create a manager able to check the aud (Audience), iat (Issued At), nbf (Not Before) and exp (Expiration) claims.

When instantiated, call the method check to check the claims of a JWT object. This method only accept an associative array. You have to retrieve this array by converting the JWT payload.

In some cases, it could be interesting to reject tokens that do not contain some mandatory claims. A list of mandatory claims can be set as second argument. If one of those claims is missing an exception is thrown, even if the claim have not been checked.

In the following example, an exception will be thrown if the iss, sub or aud claim is missing.

hashtag
Custom Claim Checker

Your application may use other claims that you will have to check therefore custom claim checkers have to be created.

In this example, we will create a class that will check the claim foo. The claim accept only a string with the value bar or bat. All claim checker have to implement the interface Jose\Component\Checker\ClaimChecker;

All done! Now you can instantiate your class and add it to your Claim Checker Manager.

hashtag
Replicating Claims as Header Parameters

The allows to replicate some claims in the header. This behaviour is very useful with encrypted tokens as it helps to reject invalid tokens without decryption of the payload.

The Claim Checker Manager cannot check those replicated claims, you have to create a . However, to avoid duplicated classes, your claim checker can implement the Jose\Component\Checker\HeaderChecker interface.

Have a look at the IssuedAtChecker or the NotBeforeChecker classes. These checkers can be used for claim and header checks.

hashtag
Claim Checker Manager Factory

Your application may use JSON Web Tokens in different contexts and thus the meaning of a claim may be different. You will need several Claim Checker Managers with dedicated claim checkers.

This framework provides an Claim Checker Manager Factory. This factory is able to accept as many claim checkers as you need. Each claim checker you add to this factory is associated to an alias. You will then be able to create a claim checker manager using those aliases.

Signed Tokens

To use the signed tokens (JWS), you have to install the web-token/jwt-signature componentarrow-up-right.

composer require web-token/jwt-signature

When this component is installed, signature algorithms are automatically handles by the Algorithm Manager Factory.

  • JWS serializers,

  • JWS creation,

  • .

You can use symfony/serializer to serialize/unserialize your tokens:

JWS serializers

hashtag
JWS Serializer Manager Factory Service

A JWSSerializerManagerFactory is available as a service in your application container:

With this factory, you will be able to create the JWSSerializerManager you need:

You can now use the JWSSerializerManager as explained in the JWS Creation/Loading section.

Key and Key Set Management

The JWK and JWKSet objects are provided by the web-token/jwt-core component. We recommend you to load these objects through environment variables.

With Symfony, an environment variables processor is provided:

With the previous configuration, the environment variables MY_PRIVATE_KEY and MY_PUBLIC_KEYSET will be processed by Symfony and the container will contain the my_private_key and my_public_keyset with JWK and JWKSet objects respectively.

PHAR Application

hashtag
Installation

To install the application, you just have to download the PHAR file attached to the .

You are free to distribute the file within your project or use it locally (e.g. /usr/local/bin).

To use it, just execute the following line:

Additional Authentication Data (AAD)

The Additional Authenticated Data (AAD) is an input to an Authenticated Encryption operation. The AAD is integrity protected but not encrypted.

Its value can be any string you want that is needed by your application. With the example below, we will add a dummy AAD:

Note: when the AAD is set, the Compact Serialization mode is not available.

Unprotected Header

You may want to set data in a token header that are not important for your application (e.g. general information). The integrity protection of the data is therefore not needed at all.

The introduces an unprotected header. This header is supported by this framework.

With the example below, we will create a signed token with some unprotected header parameters:

The variable $jws will be a valid JWS object with one signature and both headers.

Note: when an unprotected header is set, the Compact Serialization mode is not available.

composer require web-token/jwt-checker

    ->withPayload('...')
    ->withSharedProtectedHeader([
        'enc' => 'A256CBC-HS512',
        'alg' => 'RSA-OAEP-256',
        'zip' => 'DEF',
    ])
    ->addRecipient($recipient_key)
    ->withAAD('A,B,C,D')

$jws = $jwsBuilder
    ->create()
    ->withPayload('...')
    ->addSignature($jwk, ['alg' => 'HS256'], ['description' => 'Small description here', 'author' => 'John Doe'])
    ->build();
RFC7515arrow-up-right

Multiple Signatures

When you need to sign the same payload for several audiences, you may want to do it at once. The JWS Builder supports multiple signatures.

With the example below, we will create three signatures using three different algorithms (and signature keys):

$jws = $jwsBuilder
    ->create()
    ->withPayload('...')
    ->addSignature($signature_key1, ['alg' => 'HS256'])
    ->addSignature($signature_key2, ['alg' => 'RS384'])
    ->addSignature($signature_key3, ['alg' => 'ES512'])
    ->build();

The variable $jws will be a valid JWS object with all computed signatures. Next step is the serialization of these signatures.

use Jose\Component\Signature\Serializer;

$manager = Serializer\JWSSerializerManager::create([
    new Serializer\CompactSerializer(),
    new Serializer\JsonFlattenedSerializer(),
    new Serializer\JsonGeneralSerializer(),
]);

$tokenWithAllSignatures = $manager->serialize('jws_json_general', $jws);
$compactTokenWithSignatureAtIndex1 = $manager->serialize('jws_compact', $jws, 1);
$flattenedTokenWithSignatureAtIndex2 = $manager->serialize('jws_json_flattened', $jws, 2);

Available JWS serialization modes are:

  • jws_compact

  • jws_json_general

  • jws_json_flattened

hashtag
JWS Serializer Manager As Service

There is also another way to create a JWSSerializerManager object: using the bundle configuration.

With the previous configuration, the bundle will create a public JWS Serializer Manager service named jose.jws_serializer.serializer1 with selected serialization modes.

hashtag
Custom Tags

You can add custom tags and attributes to the services you create.

But it may not be sufficient for your project. You may need to load keys or key sets from other sources (e.g. key file) You may also want to use your keys as a container services you inject to other services.

This behaviour is possible by installing the web-token/jwt-key-mgmt component. To install it, just execute the following command line:

  • Key Management (JWK)

  • Key Set Management (JWKSet)

parameters:
    my_private_key: '%env(jwk:MY_PRIVATE_KEY)%'
    my_public_keyset: '%env(jwkset:MY_PUBLIC_KEYSET)%'
composer require web-token/jwt-key-mgmt
<?php

use Jose\Component\Checker\ClaimCheckerManager;
use Jose\Component\Checker;

$claimCheckerManager = new ClaimCheckerManager(
    [
        new Checker\IssuedAtChecker(),
        new Checker\NotBeforeChecker(),
        new Checker\ExpirationTimeChecker(),
        new Checker\AudienceChecker('Audience'),
    ]
);
$claims = json_decode($jwt->getPayload(), true);
$claimCheckerManager->check($claims);
$claimCheckerManager->check($claims, ['iss', 'sub', 'aud']);

                    tag_name1: ~
                    tag_name2: {attribute1: 'foo'}

Key Set (JWKSet)

You can create a JWKSet object using three static methods:

  • new JWKSet(array $keys): creates a JWKSet using a list of JWK objects.

  • JWKSet::createFromJson(string $json): creates a JWKSet using a JSON object.

  • JWKSet::createFromKeyData(array $values): creates a JWKSet using a decoded JSON object.

Hereafter all methods available for a JWKSet object. The variable $jwkset is a valid JWKSet object.

circle-exclamation

Please note a JWKSet object is an immutable object. When you add keys, you get a new JWKSet object

From v2.x to v3.0

Contrary to upgrade a minor version (where the middle number changes) where no difficulty should be encountered, upgrade a major version (where the first number changes) is subject to significant modifications.

hashtag
Update the libraries

First of all, you have to make sure you are using the last v2.x release.

hashtag
Spot deprecations

Next, you have to verify you don’t use any deprecated class, interface, method or property. If you have PHPUnit tests, .

hashtag
List of deprecations:

  • Jose\Easy\*: the `Easy` component was deprecated in v2.2 and removed in v3.0

Except if you use the Easy component, you should have no trouble upgrading the libraries as this major branch is mainly an upgrade from old PHP version to PHP8.1.

hashtag
Symfony Flex

If you use the Symfony bundle and Symfony Flex, please note that Flex Recipes are now provided through a dedicated server.

It is highly recommended to declare this server within your application composer.json file.

circle-info

You can adapt this command line depending on the other Flex servers you are using.

hashtag
Upgrade the dependencies and the libraries

The version 3.0 now requires PHP 8.1. Please install this version or a newer one on your platform. Make sure the extensions are also installed. They are namely JSON and MBString. You may also need OpenSSL or Sodium depending on the algorithms you want to use.

If you require Symfony components, you shall have the version 5.4 or 6.x. for each of these components.

It is now time to upgrade the libraries. In your composer.json, change all web-token/* dependencies from v2.x to v3.0. When done, execute composer update.

You can also update all other dependencies if needed. You can list upgradable libraries by calling composer outdated. This step is not mandatory, but highly recommended.

circle-check

is a very nice tool from code upgrade. We highly recommend it.

JWE creation

hashtag
JWE Builder Factory Service

A JWEBuilderFactory is available as a service in your application container:

With this factory, you will be able to create the JWEBuilder you need:

Available compression methods are:

  • DEF: deflate (recommended)

  • GZ: gzip

  • ZLIB: zlib

You can now use the JWEBuilder as explained in the JWE Creation section.

Custom Tags

You can add custom tags and attributes to the services you create.

JWS Creation

Now that you have an algorithm manager and a key, it is time to create your first signed token.

The computation is done by the JWSBuilder object. This object only requires the algorithm manager.

<?php

use Jose\Component\Core\AlgorithmManager;
use Jose\Component\Core\JWK;
use Jose\Component\Signature\Algorithm\HS256;
use Jose\Component\Signature\JWSBuilder;

// The algorithm manager with the HS256 algorithm.
$algorithmManager = new AlgorithmManager([
    new HS256(),
]);

// Our key.
$jwk = new JWK([
    'kty' => 'oct',
    'k' => 'dzI6nbW4OcNF-AtfxGAmuyz7IpHRudBI0WgGjZWgaRJt6prBn3DARXgUR8NVwKhfL43QBIU2Un3AvCGCHRgY4TbEqhOi8-i98xxmCggNjde4oaW6wkJ2NgM3Ss9SOX9zS3lcVzdCMdum-RwVJ301kbin4UtGztuzJBeg5oVN00MGxjC2xWwyI0tgXVs-zJs5WlafCuGfX1HrVkIf5bvpE0MQCSjdJpSeVao6-RSTYDajZf7T88a2eVjeW31mMAg-jzAWfUrii61T_bYPJFOXW8kkRWoa1InLRdG6bKB9wQs9-VdXZP60Q4Yuj_WZ-lO7qV9AEFrUkkjpaDgZT86w2g',
]);

// We instantiate our JWS Builder.
$jwsBuilder = new JWSBuilder($algorithmManager);

Now let's create our first JWS object.

// The payload we want to sign. The payload MUST be a string hence we use our JSON Converter.
$payload = json_encode([
    'iat' => time(),
    'nbf' => time(),
    'exp' => time() + 3600,
    'iss' => 'My service',
    'aud' => 'Your application',
]);

$jws = $jwsBuilder
    ->create()                               // We want to create a new JWS
    ->withPayload($payload)                  // We set the payload
    ->addSignature($jwk, ['alg' => 'HS256']) // We add a signature with a simple protected header
    ->build();                               // We build it

Great! If everything is fine you will get a JWS object with one signature. We want to send it to the audience. Before that, it must be serialized.

We will use the compact serialization mode. This is the most common mode as it is URL safe and very compact. Perfect for a use in a web context!

All good! The variable $token now contains a string that should be something like this:

Other serialization modes exist. We will see them in the Advanced Topics section.

Unencoded Payload

The RFC7797arrow-up-right allows the use of an unencoded payload for the signed tokens. This behaviour is interesting when your tokens have a detached payload and may reduce the token computation.

Please note that when the Compact Serialization mode is used, the characters of the payload must be limited to the following ASCII ranges:

  • From 0x20 to 0x2d

  • From 0x2f to 0x7e

This feature is built in the framework and is enabled when the b64 header parameter is set to false. As per the RFC, this header MUST be protected and also listed as a critical (crit) header parameter.

Example:

As a remainder, both b64 and crit parameters MUST be in the protected header.

Unprotected Headers

As well as the signed tokens, the encrypted tokens also have unprotected header. But with one difference: there are two unprotected headers:

  • Shared unprotected header applicable to all recipients.

  • Per-recipient unprotected header.

With the example below, we will create an encrypted token for two recipient and some unprotected header parameters:

The variable $jwe will be a valid JWE object built for two recipients. The unprotected header parameter author is applicable to the whole token while message and description are available only for the first and second recipient respectively.

Note: when an unprotected header is set, the Compact Serialization mode is not available.

Encrypted Tokens

To use the encrypted tokens (JWE), you have to install the web-token/jwt-encryption componentarrow-up-right.

composer require web-token/jwt-encryption

When this component is installed, encryption algorithms are automatically handles by the Algorithm Manager Factory.

JWS Verifier As Service

There is also another way to create a JWSVerifier object: using the bundle configuration.

With the previous configuration, the bundle will create a public JWS Verifier service named jose.jws_verifier.verifier1 with selected signature algorithms.

hashtag
Custom Tags

You can add custom tags and attributes to the services you create.

hashtag
JWS Loader Service

The JWSLoaderFactory is available as a public service. You can retrieve it using the container or inject it into your services. It will help you to create JWSLoader objects on demand.

You can also create JWSLoader objects as services using the configuration of the bundle.

Or using the ConfigurationHelper.

hashtag
Checker Manager Services

You can create Header and Claim Checker Managers using the bundle configuration.

With the previous configuration, the bundle will create public Header and Claim Checker Managers named jose.header_checker.checker1 and jose.claim_checker.checker1 with selected checkers.

hashtag
Custom Header Or Claim Checker

Some claim or header checkers are provided by this framework, but it is important to create custom checkers that fit on your application requirements.

In the following example, we will assume that the class exist and implement either Jose\Component\Checker\HeaderChecker or Jose\Component\Checker\ClaimChecker.

These checkers will be loaded by the factories and you will be able to create a header or a claim checker manager using the aliases foo or bar.

Custom Tags

You can add custom tags and attributes to the header and claim checker managers.

As the recipes are third party ones not officially supported by Symfony, you will be asked to execute the recipe or not. When applied, the recipes will prompt a message such as Web Token Framework is ready.

hashtag
Without Symfony Flex

If you don't use Symfony Flex, you must register the bundle manually.

hashtag
Bundle Features

The bundle capabilities will depend on the components installed in your application.

  • Algorithm Management

  • Header and Claim Checkers

  • Keys and key sets

Algorithm Management (JWA)

For each cryptographic operation, you will need at least one algorithm and one key.

The algorithm list depends on the cypher operation to be performed (signature or encryption).

These algorithms are managed by an Algorithm Manager. In the following example, we will create an algorithm manager that will handle two algorithms: PS256 and ES512.

The algorithm management is part of the web-token/jwt-core component. The signature algorithms are available in dedicated packages. See signature or encryption algorithm pages for more information.

circle-exclamation

It is not possible to set the same algorithm twice in the same algorithm manager.

hashtag
Algorithm Manager Factory

Your application may need several algorithm managers for several use cases. For example you application may use JWT for:

  • signed events,

  • authentication tokens.

To avoid mixing algorithms in one algorithm manager or instantiate several times the same algorithms, this framework provides an Algorithm Manager Factory.

This factory will create algorithm managers on demand. It allows the same algorithm to be instantiated multiple times but with different configuration options.

Each algorithm is identified using an alias.

The first argument of the method add is the alias for the algorithm. It must be unique. In general, this alias corresponds to the algorithm name.

As you can see in the example, we added the algorithm PBES2-HS512+A256KW twice:

  • with the default configuration,

  • with custom arguments.

Now our algorithm manager factory is ready. We can create several algorithm managers by passing a list of aliases to the method create:

JWE Loading

Encrypted tokens are loaded by a serializer or the serializer manager and decrypted by the JWEDecrypter object. This JWEDecrypter object requires several services for the process:

  • an algorithm manager with key encryption algorithms

  • an algorithm manager with content encryption algorithms

  • a compression method manager. No compression method is needed if you do not intent to compress the payload.

In the following example, we will use the same assumptions as the ones used during the .

Now we can try to deserialize and decrypt the input we receive. We will continue with the result we got during the JWE creation section.

circle-exclamation

We do not check header parameters here, but it is very important to do it. This step is described in the section.

Note: we do not check header parameters here, but it is very important to do it. This step is described in the Header Checker section.

OK so if not exception is thrown, then your token is loaded and the payload correctly decrypted.

hashtag
JWELoader Object

To avoid duplication of code lines, you can create a JWELoader object. This object contains a serializer, a decrypter and an optional header checker (highly recommended).

In the following example, the JWELoader object will try to unserialize the token $token, check the header parameters and decrypt with the key $key.

If the decryption succeeded, the variable $recipient will be set with the recipient index and should be in case of multiple recipients. The method returns the JWE object.

In case you use a key set, you can use the method loadAndDecryptWithKeySet.

hashtag
JWELoaderFactory Object

This feature was introduced in version 1.1.

The JWELoaderFactory object is able to create JWELoader objects on demand. It requires the following factories:

  • JWESerializerManagerFactory

  • JWEDecrypterFactory

  • HeaderCheckerManagerFactory (optional)

Algorithm Management

hashtag
Algorithm Manager Factory Service

The Symfony Bundle provides an Algorithm Manager Factory service. The available algorithms depends on the components installed on your application.

<?php

use Jose\Component\Core\AlgorithmManagerFactory;

$algorithmManagerFactory = $container->get(AlgorithmManagerFactory::class);
$algorithmManager = $algorithmManagerFactory->create(['RS256', 'HS512']);

hashtag
Custom Algorithm

This factory handles all algorithms services tagged with jose.algorithm.

Example:

Your algorithm will be available through the algorithm manager factory service and the alias FOO.

hashtag
PBES2-* Algorithms

When installed, the PBES2-* algorithms available throught the algorithm manager factory. They have the default configuration i.e. salt size = 62 bits and count = 4096. If these values does not fit on your needs, you can create a new algorithm service with your own values:

You can now use your custom alias:

Key Set Management (JWKSet)

hashtag
Key Sets As Services

All these methods have the following common option:

  • is_public: set the service public or private.

Configuration Helper

When you want to create keys/key sets, JWS loader/verifier... services, you have to create a dedicated jose section in your configuration. It may confuse your users to configure your bundle and the Jose Framework bundle. Sometimes, you may also want to be sure that the configuration is correctly defined. Lastly, the configuration size increases with numerous details, options or service IDs and it becomes difficult to read or modify.

Hopefully, the Symfony bundle provide a configuration helper: Jose\Bundle\JoseFramework\Helper\ConfigurationHelper. This helper will configure the jose section for you. This helper has to be called in your bundle extension during the prepend step (your extension has to implement Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Extension\PrependExtensionInterface).

Symfony Console

To enable the commands on a Symfony application, you have to install and add the associated bundle into your kernel:

If you use Symfony Flex, you have nothing to do. Otherwise you have to enable to bundle.

Then execute your Symfony Console command to use the command provided by this component:

From v1.x to v2.0

Contrary to upgrade a minor version (where the middle number changes) where no difficulty should be encountered, upgrade a major version (where the first number changes) is subject to significant modifications.

hashtag
Update the libraries

First of all, you have to make sure you are using the last v1.x release (1.3.8).

Add missing dependencies

In v1.x, when you install the web-token/jwt-signature or web-token/jwt-encryption, the algorithms are automatically install.

In v2.0, you must explicitly install the algorithms you need. Please refer to the signature algorithms page or encryption algorithms page to know what package you need to install.

hashtag
Upgrade the libraries

It is now time to upgrade the libraries. In your composer.json, change all web-token/* dependencies from v1.x to v2.0. When done, execute composer update.

You can also update all other dependencies if needed. You can list upgradable libraries by calling composer outdated. This step is not mandatory, but highly recommended.

Custom Algorithm

This framework provides dozens of signature or encryption algorithms. If your application uses a custom algorithm or if another algorithm has been recently approved in the JWT context, it may be interesting to use it with this framework.

Hopefully, this is very easy. In the following example, we will create a class to use the ChaCha20 + Poly 1305 (IETF variant) encryption algorithm as a Key Encryption Algorithm.

The key set configuration will look like as follow:

The key set will be available as a container service with the ID jose.key_set.keyset_name where keyset_name is the unique name of your key set. Each key set service will be an instance of the Jose\Component\Core\JWKSet class.

As any other configuration values, you can use environment variables.

hashtag
From A JWKSet Object

This method will directly get a JWKSet object.

hashtag
Distant Key Sets

You can load key sets shared by a distant service (e.g. Google, Microsoft, Okta...). You must install and enable the Httplug Bundlearrow-up-right.

When done, you have to create a client and enable the JKU Factory service by indicating the request factory service to use:

Important recommendations:

  • It is highly recommended to use a cache plugin for your HTTP client and thus avoid unnecessary calls to the key set endpoint.

  • The connection must be secured and certificate verification should not be disabled.

hashtag
From A JKU (JWK Url)

The following example will allow you tu load a key set from a distant URI. The key set must be a JWKSet object.

hashtag
From A X5U (X509 Certificates Url)

The following example will allow you tu load a key set from a distant URI. The key set must be a list of X509 certificates.

hashtag
Shared Key Sets

It can be interesting to share your key sets through an Url. This can easily achieved by adding a dedicated controller. This controller is automatically created by the bundle.

You can enable these routes by adding the following configuration to your routing file.

Then you can share your key set.

Now when you go to the URL http://128.0.0.1:8000/certs, you will get your key set.

hashtag
Custom Tags

You can add custom tags and attributes to the services you create.

Let say you want to create a JWK as a service:

For the key configuration, the arguments are:

  • The container

  • The name of the service (acme_my_key)

  • The key type (jwk)

  • An array with the expected values

  • An array with the custom tags (optional)

Now a key service named jose.key.acme_my_key will be created. This service is public so you will be able to get it from your container or inject it to your services.

This is exactly the same configuration as the following one:

Other methods are:

  • For the jws section:

    • public static function addJWSBuilder(ContainerBuilder $container, string $name, array $signatureAlgorithms, bool $is_public = true, array $tags = [])

    • public static function addJWSVerifier(ContainerBuilder $container, string $name, array $signatureAlgorithms, bool $is_public = true, array $tags = [])

    • public static function addJWSSerializer(ContainerBuilder $container, string $name, array $serializers, bool $is_public = true, array $tags = [])

  • For the jwe section:

    • public static function addJWEBuilder(ContainerBuilder $container, string $name, array $keyEncryptionAlgorithm, array $contentEncryptionAlgorithms, array $compressionMethods = ['DEF'], bool $is_public = true, array $tags = [])

  • For the checker section:

    • public static function addClaimChecker(ContainerBuilder $container, string $name, array $claimCheckers, bool $is_public = true, array $tags = [])

  • For the keys section:

    • public static function addKey(ContainerBuilder $container, string $name, string $type, array $parameters, array $tags = [])

  • For the key_sets section:

    • public static function addKeyset(ContainerBuilder $container, string $name, string $type, array $parameters, array $tags = [])

  • For the jwk_uris section:

    • public static function addKeyUri(ContainerBuilder $container, string $name, array $parameters, array $tags = [])

Events

How to use Symfony events

With the Symfony Bundle, you will be able to listen or subscribe to events.

All events can be found in the class Jose\Bundle\JoseFramework\Event\Events.

  • JWS:

    • Events::JWS_BUILT_SUCCESS

    • Events::JWS_BUILT_FAILURE

    • Events::JWS_VERIFICATION_SUCCESS

    • Events::JWS_VERIFICATION_FAILURE

    • Events::JWS_LOADING_SUCCESS

    • Events::JWS_LOADING_FAILURE

  • JWE:

    • Events::JWE_BUILT_SUCCESS

    • Events::JWE_BUILT_FAILURE

  • Nested Tokens:

    • Events::NESTED_TOKEN_ISSUED Events::NESTED_TOKEN_LOADING_SUCCESS Events::NESTED_TOKEN_LOADING_FAILURE

  • Checked Header:

    • Events::HEADER_CHECK_SUCCESS

    • Events::HEADER_CHECK_FAILURE

  • Checked Claim:

    • Events::CLAIM_CHECK_SUCCESS

    • Events::CLAIM_CHECK_FAILURE

Example:

JWE Creation

The computation of a JWE is done by the JWEBuilder object. This object requires the following services:

  • an algorithm manager with key encryption algorithms

  • an algorithm manager with content encryption algorithms

  • a compression method manager. No compression method is needed if you do not intent to compress the payload.

Now let's create our first JWE object.

Great! If everything is fine you will get a JWE object with one recipient. We want to send it to the audience. Before that, it must be serialized.

We will use the compact serialization mode. This is the most common mode as it is URL safe and very compact. Perfect for a use in a web context!

All good! The variable $token now contains a string that should be something like that:

Signature Algorithms

This framework comes with several signature algorithms. These algorithms are in the following namespace: Jose\Component\Signature\Algorithm.

Algorithm
Description
Package

HS256

HS384

HS512

HMAC with SHA-2 Functions

web-token/jwt-signature-algorithm-hmac

ES256

ES384

ES512

The following signature algorithms are experimental and must not be used in production unless you know what you are doing. They are proposed for testing purpose only.

They are provided throught the package web-token/jwt-signature-algorithm-experimental.

Algorithm
Description

hashtag
How To Use

These algorithms have to be used with the . They do not need any arguments.

Example:

Header Checker

When you receive a JWT (JWS or JWE), it is important to check its headers before any other action. In case something went wrong, the token should be rejected.

To use the header checker, install the corresponding component:

The header parameters are checked by a Header Checker Manager. This manager can contain several header checkers.

circle-check

The header parameter crit (critical) is always checked.

circle-info

Even if the cypher process will check the alg/enc header parameters, it is interesting to check them before to reject tokens earlier.

hashtag
Header Checker Manager

To create a header checker manager, you will need to add header checkers and at least one token type. You will find token type classes for the JWS and JWE tokens in the web-token/jwt-signature and web-token/jwt-encryption components respectively.

In the following example, we want to check the alg header parameter for the signed tokens (JWS) received by our application.

You can then call the check method.

  • The first parameter is the JWT to check,

  • The second one is the index of the signature/recipient. It could be ignored if you are not using the Flattened or General JSON Serialization Modes.

In some cases, it could be interesting to reject tokens that do not contain some mandatory header parameters. A list of mandatory parameters can be set as third argument. If one of those parameters is missing an exception is thrown, even if that header parameter have not been checked.

In the following example, an exception will be thrown if the alg, enc or crit parameters is missing.

hashtag
Header Checker Manager Factory

The Header Checker Manager Factory will help you to create as many Header Checker Manager as you want to fit on your application requirements.

hashtag
Custom Header Checker

With the previous examples, we will only check the alg (algorithm) header parameter. But your application may use other header parameters e.g. cty, typ...

The following header checkers are provided:

  • AlgorithmChecker: checks the alg header parameter.

  • AudienceChecker: checks the aud header parameter. This is a replicated claim as per the

If you need, you can create you own header checker. It must implement the interface Jose\Component\Checker\HeaderChecker. In the following example, we will check that the protected header parameter custom is an array with value foo or bar.

Nested Tokens

JWT can be signed or encrypted and both. A nested token is a signed token enclosed in an encrypted one. This order is very important: signed then encrypted.

The NestedTokenLoader and NestedTokenBuilder classes will help you to create nested tokens with ease. Just instal the package web-token/jwt-nested-token. It contains all the classes and dependencies will be directly managed by composer. You can install it if needed.

hashtag
Nested Token Loading

To instantiate the NestedTokenLoader, you need a JWSLoader and a JWELoader.

Its use is very straightforward, you just have to call the method load using the token, the encryption and signature key sets.

The last argument ($signature in the following example) will represents the signature index of the verified signature. This is only useful when multiple signature support is used.

hashtag
Nested Token Building

To instantiate the NestedTokenBuilder, you will need the following components:

  • a JWSBuilder,

  • a JWEBuilder,

  • a JWESerializerManager

Its use is a bit more complicated than the loading as the nested token may be designed for several recipients or may have several signatures.

As a reminder, if one of the following parameter is set, the compact serialization mode cannot be used:

  • signature unprotected header,

  • JWE shared unprotected header,

  • recipient unprotected header,

hashtag
Symfony Bundle

hashtag
Configuration

Hereafter an example of a Symfony application configuration:

This configuration will create two public services:

  • jose.nested_token_loader.loader_1

  • jose.nested_token_builder.builder_1

These services can be called from the container (unless private) or injected in your services.

hashtag
Configuration Helper

As any other services, you can create a nested token loader or builder from another bundle extension. The following bundle extension class will create the same configuration and services as above.

Key Management (JWK)

hashtag
Keys As Services

When the component is installed, you will be able to define your keys in your application configuration and load your keys from several sources or formats. All these methods have the following option:

  • is_public: set the service public or private.

The key configuration will look like as follow:

The key will be available as a container service with the ID jose.key.key_name where key_name is the unique name of your key. Each key service will be an instance of the Jose\Component\Core\JWK class.

As any other configuration values, you can use environment variables.

hashtag
From A Shared Secret

This method will directly get a shared secret.

hashtag
From A JWK Object

This method will directly load a JWK object.

hashtag
From A X509 Certificate File

This method will load a X509 Certificate file.

hashtag
From A X509 Certificate

This method will load a key from a X509 Certificate.

hashtag
From A PKCS#1/PKCS#8 Key File

This method will load a key from a PKCS#1 or PKCS#8 key file.

hashtag
From A Key In A Key Set

This method will retrieve a key from a JWKSet service.

hashtag
Custom Tags

You can add custom tags and attributes to the services you create.

JWE decryption

hashtag
JWE Decrypter Factory Service

A JWEDecrypterFactory is available as a service in your application container:

With this factory, you will be able to create the JWEDecrypter you need:

You can now use the JWEDecrypter as explained in the JWE Creation section.

circle-info

Reminder: it is important to check the token headers. See the checker section of this documentation.

hashtag
JWE Decrypter As Service

There is also another way to create a JWEDecrypter object: using the bundle configuration.

With the previous configuration, the bundle will create a public JWE Decrypter service named jose.jwe_decrypter.decrypter1 with selected encryption algorithms.

hashtag
Custom Tags

You can add custom tags and attributes to the services you create.

hashtag
JWE Loader Service

The is available as a public service. You can retrieve it using the container or inject it into your services. It will help you to create JWELoader objects on demand.

You can also create JWELoader objects as services using the configuration of the bundle.

Or using the .

Security Recommendations

Signed or Encrypted Tokens are not just the next trendy/popular way to authenticate users. They provide great features but when used incorrectly they can expose your application to major security issues.

Please read the following recommendations carefully.

Detached Payload

As per the ,the payload of a JWS may be detached. This framework supports this feature.

    Algorithm Choice

    If all parties are able to protect their keys (e.g. private applications), symmetric algorithms are a good choice as they are faster in general. If you use public clients, you should prefer asymmetric algorithms.

    hashtag
    Available Algorithms

    This framework provides dozen of signature and encryption algorithms, but you do not need all of them. Most applications only support 1 or 2 algorithms.

    You should only use necessary algorithms. For example, HS384 algorithm may be avoided if you already have HS256 and HS512.

    hashtag
    Avoid Weak Algorithms

    Some algorithms are not recommended as there are known security issues:

    • none: this algorithm is not a real algorithm. It should only be used when other security means exist. An encrypted connection is certainly not enough!

    • RSA1_5: there are known attacks using this algorithm. If you can avoid its use, then do it.

    hashtag
    Keys And Key Sets

    hashtag
    Key Size

    A small key size is as secured as a password like 123456789. You should use at least 256 bits symmetric keys and at lease 2048 bits RSA keys.

    In any case, you MUST use a true random number generator.

    hashtag
    Additional Information

    It is highly recommended to set the following parameters to your key:

    • kid: A unique key ID,

    • use: indicates the usage of the key. Either sig (signature/verification) or enc (encryption/decryption).

    • alg: the algorithm allowed to be used with this key.

    hashtag
    Key Rotation

    A key is fine but may be cracked e.g. by bruteforce. Changing your keys after several days or weeks is encouraged.

    hashtag
    Token Creation

    hashtag
    Header Parameters

    Broadly speaking, you should set your header parameter in the protected header. The use of the unprotected header should be limited to specific use cases.

    When using encrypted tokens, the claims iss and aud should be duplicated into the header. This will avoid unwanted decryption when tokens are sent to a wrong audience.

    hashtag
    Payload And Claims

    There is no size constraint for the payload, but when tokens are used in a web context, it should be as small as possible. When used, claims should be limited to the minimum.

    Does your application really need to get all the information about a user? For each context, you should choose carefully the claims you want to use.

    hashtag
    Token Unique ID

    A unique token ID should be set to all tokens you create. The associated claim is jti.

    This claim is highly recommended as it can prevent replay attacks.

    hashtag
    Time Indicators

    The JWT specification introduces several claims to limit the period of validity of the tokens:

    • exp: expiration time,

    • iat: issuance time,

    • nbf: validity point in time.

    These claims are not mandatory, but it is recommended to define a period of time for the token validity. When used, the expiration time should be appropriate to its context in your application. A security token with 2 weeks lifetime is something you should avoid.

    hashtag
    Issuer And Audience

    The claims iss (issuer) and aud (audience) should always be set. When duplicated in the header, their values MUST be identical.

    hashtag
    Application Communication

    hashtag
    Secured Connection

    Unless you use encrypted tokens, you should use a secured connection when transmitting tokens between parties. A secured communication is not only needed when transmitting tokens, but also when you exchange keys and key sets with other applications.

    hashtag
    Loading Process

    When you receive a token, the following steps should be followed in this order. If one failed, you you reject the whole token.

    1. Unserialize the token

    2. For each signature/recipient (may be possible when using the Json General Serialization Mode):

      1. Check the complete header (protected and unprotected)

      2. Verify the signature (JWS) or decrypt the token (JWE)

      3. Check the claims in the payload (if any)

    hashtag
    Unserialize The Token

    You should only use the serialization mode(s) you need. If you intend to use your tokens in a web context, then use only the Compact Serialization. If an error occurred during this process, you should consider the token as invalid.

    Check The Header

    Header parameters have to be checked. You should at least check the alg (algorithm) and enc (only for JWE) parameters. The crit (critical) header parameter is always checked.

    Please note that unknown header parameters are ignored. If your token is verified, those parameters should not be used.

    When used, unprotected header parameters should be handled with care.

    Signature Verification / Payload Decryption

    Let the component do its job. The most important step for developers is to ensure that the right key/ket set is used.

    hashtag
    Check The Claims

    This step is only required if the payload contains claims. When present, you should always check the exp, iat, nbf, iss and aud claims. Application specific claims should also always checked.

    The whole token should be rejected in case of failure. Unknown claims should be ignored.

    hashtag
    Stay Tuned

    You should subscribe to security forums of similar websites and have a continuous technological watch. The tokens may be compromised because of malicious attacks on the algorithms, keys or other components related to the JWT (directly or indirectly).

    The Security group on Stack Exchangearrow-up-right is a good start.

    JWS Loading

    The loading of a signed token with a detached payload is as easy as when the payload is attached. The only difference is that you have to pass the payload to the JWS Verifier when you want to check the signature.

    Key (JWK)

    You can create a JWK object using two static methods:

    • new JWK(array $values): creates a JWK using direct values.

    • JWK::createFromJson(string $json): creates a JWK using a JSON object.

    Hereafter all methods available for a JWK object. The variable $jwk is a valid JWK object.
    circle-exclamation

    Please note a JWK object is an immutable object. If you change a value using a setter, it will return a new object.

    Generate A New Key

    This framework is able to create private and public keys on the fly using the JWKFactory. It is available in the web-token/jwt-key-mgmt component.

    4 types of keys are supported:

    • Symmetric Key:

      • oct: octet string

    • Asymmetric Key:

      • RSA: RSA key pair

      • EC : Elliptic Curve key pair

      • OKP: Octet key pair

    circle-info

    The none algorithm needs a key of type none. This is a specific key type that must only be used with this algorithm.

    hashtag
    Octet String

    The following example will show you how to create an oct key.

    Additional parameters will be set to limit the scope of this key (e.g. signature/verification only with the HS256 algorithm).

    If you already have a shared secret, you can use it to create an oct key:

    hashtag
    RSA Key Pair

    The following example will show you how to create a RSA key.

    The key size must be of 384 bits at least, but nowadays the recommended size is 2048 bits.

    hashtag
    Elliptic Curve Key Pair

    The following example will show you how to create a EC key.

    The supported curves are:

    • P-256

    • P-384

    • P-521 (note that this is 521 and not 512)

    hashtag
    Octet Key Pair

    The following example will show you how to create a OKP key.

    The supported curves are:

    • Ed25519 for signature/verification only

    • X25519 for encryption/decryption only

    hashtag
    None Key

    The none key type is a special type used only for the none algorithm.

    Serialization

    The RFC7515arrow-up-right (JWS) and RFC7516arrow-up-right (JWE) introduce several serialization modes.

    • Compact

    • JSON Flattened

    • JSON General

    The Compact mode is most know and commonly used as it is compact and URL safe i.e. it is designed for web context. JSON Flattened and General are not URL safe, but provides features that may fit on your application context.

    hashtag
    JWS Serialization

    To use the JWS serializers, you have to install the jwt-signature component.

    hashtag
    JWS Compact

    This serialization mode is probably the one you know the most. It it a string composed of three parts encoded in Base64 Url Safe and separated by a dot (.).

    The serializer class is Jose\Component\Signature\Serializer\CompactSerializer. The associated name is jws_compact.

    Example:

    There are some limitations when you use this serialization mode:

    • Unprotected header not supported.

    • Unencoded payload must contain characters within the following range of ASCII characters: 0x20-0x2d and 0x2f-0x7e

    hashtag
    JWS JSON Flattened

    This serialization mode is useful when you need to use the unprotected header. It it a simple JSON object.

    The serializer class is Jose\Component\Signature\Serializer\JSONFlattenedSerializer. The associated name is jws_json_flattened.

    Example:

    hashtag
    JWS JSON General

    This serialization mode is similar to the JWS JSON Flattened, but may contain more than one signature. It it a JSON object.

    The serializer class is Jose\Component\Signature\Serializer\JSONGeneralSerializer. The associated name is jws_json_general.

    Example:

    hashtag
    JWS Serializer Manager

    The serializer manager can be helpful when your application deals more than one serialization mode.

    hashtag
    JWE Serialization

    To use the JWE serializers, you have to install the jwt-encryption component.

    hashtag
    JWE Compact

    This serialization mode is probably the one you know the most. It it a string composed of five parts encoded in Base64 Url Safe and separated by a dot (.).

    The serializer class is Jose\Component\Encryption\Serializer\CompactSerializer. The associated name is jwe_compact.

    Example:

    There are some limitations when you use this serialization mode:

    • No Additional Authentication Data can be used.

    • No shared unprotected header or per-recipient header can be used.

    hashtag
    JWE JSON Flattened

    This serialization mode is useful when you need to use the unprotected header. It it a simple JSON object.

    The serializer class is Jose\Component\Encryption\Serializer\JSONFlattenedSerializer. The associated name is jwe_json_flattened.

    Example:

    hashtag
    JWE JSON General

    This serialization mode is similar to the JWE JSON Flattened, but may contain more than one recipient. It it a JSON object.

    Console

    The project comes with console commands. They are available:

    as a PHAR (PHP Archive)

    hashtag
    Available Commands

    In the following example, we will call commands using ./jose.phar. If you need more information about a command, call the command with the option --help.

    You can save the output in a file e.g. when you want to store a key or keyset in your local filesystem.

    hashtag
    Key Management Commands

    hashtag
    Private Key To Public Key Converter

    This command will convert a private key into a public key. It has no effect on shared keys (e.g. oct keys).

    hashtag
    Key Analyze

    The following command will analyze the key passed as argument and find issues.

    hashtag
    PKCS#1 Key Converter

    This command will convert a RSA or EC key into PKCS#1 key.

    hashtag
    Key Generators

    The key generator commands will generate a private or shared key. The following options are available:

    • -u or --use: indicates the usage of the key (sig or enc): --use enc. This option is highly recommended.

    • -a or --alg: indicates the algorithm to be used with the key: --alg RSA-OAEP-256. This option is highly recommended.

    Elliptic Curve Key

    This command will generate an Elliptic Curve key (EC). The supported curves are P-256, P-384 and P-521.

    RSA Key

    This command will generate a RSA key. The key size must be at least 384 bits. Recommended size is 2048 bits or more.

    Octet Key

    This command will generate a octet key (oct). Recommended size is 128 bits or more.

    Octet Key Pair Key

    This command will generate a octet key pair key (OKP). Supported curves are X25519 (for encryption only) and Ed25519 (signature only).

    None Key

    This command will generate a none key. This key type is only used by the none algorithm. Key parameters alg and use are automatically set.

    From An Existing Secret

    If you already have a secret, you can use it to create an octet key (oct).

    In case your secret is binary string, you will have to encode it first (Base64) and indicate it is encoded.

    hashtag
    Key Loaders

    The key loader commands will loader keys from various sources. The following options are available:

    • -u or --use: indicates the usage of the key (sig or enc): --use enc. This option is highly recommended.

    • -a or --alg: indicates the algorithm to be used with the key: --alg RSA-OAEP-256. This option is highly recommended.

    Convert From PEM/DER Keys

    This command can load and convert a DER/PEM key file into a JWK. It supports encrypted keys as well as PKCS#1 and PKCS#8 encodings or public/private keys.

    Convert From PKCS#12 Keys

    hashtag
    Key Thumbprint

    This command will calculate the key thumbprint as per the RFC7638arrow-up-right. The following options are available:

    • --hash: the hashing method. Default is sha256. Supported methods are the one listed by hash_algosarrow-up-right.

    hashtag
    Keyset Management Commands

    hashtag
    Private Keys To Public Keys Converter

    This command has the same affect as key:convert:public except that it will convert all keys in the keyset. It has no effect on shared keys (e.g. oct keys).

    hashtag
    Key Analyze

    This command has the same behaviour as key:analyze except that it will analize all keys in the keyset.

    hashtag
    Keyset Generators

    The key set generator commands will generate key sets with random keys of the same type.

    These commands have the same options as the key generator commands. The only difference is that you have to indicate the number of keys you want in the key set.

    Examples:

    The result of these commands is a JWKSet object.

    hashtag
    Key Set Modification

    • keyset:add:key: Add a key into a key set.

    Encrypted Tokens (JWE)

    To use the encrypted tokens (JWE), you have to install the web-token/jwt-encryption componentarrow-up-right.

    composer require web-token/jwt-encryption

    This component provides lot of encryption algorithms and classes to load and create encrypted tokens.

    Please refer to this encryption algorithm table to know what algorithms are available.

    Then, you will find an example to create an encrypted token here and another example to load and decrypt incoming tokens.

    Multiple Recipients

    When you need to encrypt the same payload for several audiences, you may want to do it at once. The JWE Builder supports multiple recipients.

    With the example below, we will create an encrypted token for three different recipients using three different key encryption algorithms.

    Important notes:

    • The content encryption algorithm MUST be the same for all recipients.

    • The Key Management Modes of the key encryption algorithms MUST be compatible (see table below).

    Note: when an unprotected header is set, the Compact Serialization mode is not available.

    How To Use

    These algorithms have to be used with the .

    By default, PBES2* algorithms use the following parameter values:

    • Salt size: 64 bytes (512 bits)

    • Count: 4096

    You may need to use other values. This can be done during the instantiation of the algorithm:

    Example with 16 bytes (128 bits) salt and 1024 counts:

    JWS Loading

    Signed tokens are loaded by a serializer or the serializer manager and verified by the JWSVerifier object. This JWSVerifier object just requires an algorithm manager.

    hashtag
    Serializer And Verifier

    In the following example, we will try to load a signed token. We will only use the HS256 algorithm.

    Now we can deserialize the input we receive and check the signature using our key. We will continue with the data we got in the JWS creation section.

    circle-exclamation

    We do not check header parameters here, but it is very important to do it. This step is described in the .

    Note: we do not check header parameters here, but it is very important to do it. This step is described in the Header Checker section.

    The method verifyWithKey returns a boolean. If true, then your token signature is valid. You can then check the claims (if any) using the claim checker manager.

    hashtag
    JWSLoader Object

    To avoid duplication of code lines, you can create a JWSLoader object. This object contains a serializer, a verifier and an optional header checker (highly recommended).

    In the following example, the JWSLoader object will try to unserialize the token $token, check the header parameters and verify the signature with the key $jwk. The variable $payload corresponds to the detached payload (null by default).

    If the verification succeeded, the variable $signature will be set with the signature index and should be in case of multiple signatures. The method returns the JWS object.

    In case you use a key set, you can use the method loadAndVerifyWithKeySet.

    hashtag
    JWSLoaderFactory Object

    This feature was introduced in version 1.1.

    The JWSLoaderFactory object is able to create JWSLoader objects on demand. It requires the following factories:

    • JWSSerializerManagerFactory

    • JWSVerifierFactory

    • HeaderCheckerManagerFactory

    <?php
    
    use Jose\Component\Core\AlgorithmManager;
    use Jose\Component\Signature\Algorithm\HS256;
    use Jose\Component\Signature\JWSVerifier;
    
    // The algorithm manager with the HS256 algorithm.
    $algorithmManager = new AlgorithmManager([
        new HS256(),

    How To

    You can easily check if an algorithm is fast enough on your platform. This project has tests for all operations with (almost) all algorithms.

    hashtag
    All algorithms

    To run those tests, you must install the library with all dev dependencies. When done, just run the following command:

    The previous command will test ALL algorithms and may take more than 7 hours.

    hashtag
    Algorithm Selection

    We recommend you to run tests only for the algorithm(s) you want to use. Just run the following command:

    The value of GROUP should be one of the following values:

    • All signature algorithms: JWS

      • All HMAC algorithms: hmac

    hashtag
    Examples

    Test all HMAC algorithms:

    Test the RSA1_5 algorithm:

    hashtag
    Benchmark Details

    The result of the following command will only give you partial result. For example:

    The main information is that the best algorithm takes only 31.275 µs... but you may need more information.

    Just run the following command:

    *The value of the --uuid option is given at the end of the previous command. You can also use latest.

    A report.md file will be created. It contains a detailed report (Markdown format). Example:

    If it is not enough for you, you can get a full report with the following command:

    Result table

    The table hereafter is the result of all benchmarks with our development environment. It is given to help you to select the appropriate algorithms for your application.

    The use of the algorithm ECDH-ES with curves P-256, P-384 or P-521 is not recommended with PHP7.1 or 7.2. The cryptographic operations with those curves are done using a pure PHP function and hence very slow.

    The use of the RSA algorithms with a very long key (more that 4096 bits) is quite slow, but offers a good protection.

  • Note 2: tests consist in a full JWS/JWE creation and loading and sometimes using multiple key sizes.

  • Note 3: for JWE creation and loading, each key encryption algorithm is tested with the following content encryption algorithms:

    • A128GCM, A192GCM and A256GCM

    • A128CBC-HS256, A192CBC-HS384 and A256CBC-HS512

  • The PBES2* algorithms are quite slow, but also offer a good protection (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2arrow-up-right). Default salt size (512 bits) and iterations (4096) and custom values (256/1024) used for the tests. Those values can be configured if needed.
