Signature Algorithms

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

Algorithm	Description
HS256 HS384 HS512	HMAC with SHA-2 Functions
ES256 ES384 ES512	Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)
RS256 RS384 RS512	RSASSA-PKCS1 v1_5
PS256 PS384 PS512	RSASSA-PSS
EdDSA (only with the Ed25519 curve)	Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA)
none	Not a secure algorithm. Please use with caution

Experimental Algorithms

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-experimental.

Algorithm	Description
RS1	RSASSA-PKCS1 v1_5 with SHA-1 hashing function
HS1	HMAC with SHA-1 hashing function
ES256K	Elliptic curve secp256k1 support

How To Use

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

Example:

<?php

use Jose\Component\Core\AlgorithmManager;
use Jose\Component\Signature\Algorithm\PS256;
use Jose\Component\Signature\Algorithm\ES512;
use Jose\Component\Signature\Algorithm\None;

$algorithm_manager = new AlgorithmManager([
    new PS256(),
    new ES512(),
    new None(),
]);
