JSON parsing agnostic, can plug any desired JSON processing library. Extensively tested for compatibility with jose.4.j, Nimbus-JOSE-JWT and json-jwt libraries. JWE JSON Serialization cross-tested with JWCrypto.
Library is fully FIPS compliant since v2.1
v5.2 Maintenece release, added .net6 target to remove dependencies on external outdated packages
v5.1.1 Maintenence release, improved memory allocation for deflated tokens (see https://github.com/dvsekhvalnov/jose-jwt/issues/258, https://github.com/dvsekhvalnov/jose-jwt/issues/257)
v5.1 support for experimental algorithms RSA-OAEP-384, RSA-OAEP-512 and forced strict AES-GCM to avoid trancated tags (see https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/71366)
v5.0 brings Linux, OSX and FreeBSD compatibility for ECDH encryption as long as managed ECDsa keys support. Fixes cross compatibility issues with encryption over NIST P-384, P-521 curves. And introduces new security fixes and controls.
v4.1 added additional capabilities to manage runtime avaliable alg suite, see Customizing library for security. And also introduced default max limits for PBKDF2 (PBES2-*) max iterations according to OWASP PBKDF2 Recomendations.
v4.0 introduced Json Web Key (JWK), RFC 7517 support. Latest stable. All new features will most likely appear based on given version.
v3.2 dropped Newtonsoft.Json support in favor of System.Text.Json on netstandard2.1
v3.1 introduced JWE JSON Serialization defined in RFC 7516
v3.0 and above additionally targets netstandard2.1 to leverage better .net crypto support on *nix systems and enable more supported algorithms.
v2.1 and above added extra features support for .NET461+ and coming with 3 version of binaries (NET4, NET461 and netstandard1.4).
v2.0 and above is .NET Core compatible and aimed to support both .NET framework (NET40) and .NET Core (netstandard1.4) runtimes.
v1.9 is built against .NET framework only and should be compatible with NET40 and above. The version is not actively maintained anymore except critical bug fixes.
WinRT compatible version (Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1) is avaliable as standalone project here: jose-rt.
PCLCrypto based experimental project living up here: jose-pcl.
:warning: v4 -> v5:
- JWK EC keys now bridges to
ECDsaby default instead ofCngKeyon .net 4.7.2+ and netstandard2.1+Jwk.ToJson()/Jwk.FromJson()now defaults toJWT.DefaultSettings.JsonMapperif not provided explicitly.- Deflate decompression is limited to 250Kb by default. Check out customization section if need more.
:warning: v3.0 -> v3.1 stricter argument validation extraHeaders argument
In 3.1 and above an attempt to override
encoralgheader values inextraHeaderswill throwArgumentException.
:warning: v2 -> v3 update public sdk changes

Historically jose-jwt provided single family of Decode() methods that handles both signed and encrypted tokens with uniform interface, but as a number of confusion attacks on JWT libraries increased over last years, starting v5 library additionally provides dedicated methods Verify() and Encrypt() that are limited in scope to verifying signatures and decrypting tokens accordingly. See Strict Validation and Confusion Attacks sections for more information.

As of v4.0.0 library provides full-blown support for Json Web Keys (aka RFC 7517), including parsing, contructing and bridging the gap with different .NET key types to be used in all signing and encryption algorithms.
See Creating encrypted Tokens, Creating signed Tokens and Verifying and Decoding Tokens for details on using JWK with different Json Web Tokens algorithms.
Most of JWK support will work on .NET 4.6.1 and .NET Core 2.0. But some key bridging requires .NET 4.7.2 or NETSTANDARD 2.1 and above.
The two core classes are:
Jwk - object model for Json Web KeyJwkSet - object model Json Web Key SetBoth classes offers set of static methods to read or write model from JSON string or dictionary object respectively.
Jwk.FromJson(string, IJsonMapper), JwkSet.FromJson(string, IJsonMapper) - parses json and constructs object model from itJwk.FromDictionary(IDictionary<string, object>), JwkSet.FromDictionary(IDictionary<string, object>) - constructs object model from dictionaryJwk.ToJson(IJsonMapper), JwkSet.ToJson(IJsonMapper) - searializes model to jsonJwk.ToDictionary(), JwkSet.ToDictionary() - writes model as dictionarySee Examples for usage details.
Model object can be constructed normal way via setting approporiate properties or calling collection methods, there are also set of convinient constructors:
// Oct key
Jwk octKey = new Jwk(new byte[] { 25, 172, 32, 130, 225, 114, 26, 181, 138, 106, 254, 192, 95, 133, 74, 82 });
// RSA key
Jwk rsaKey = new Jwk(

// Key sets
JwkSet keySet = new JwkSet(octKey, rsaKey);

Library provides two way bridging with different .NET key types.
One can construct Jwk from underlying ECDsa, RSA or CngKey (elliptic keys only)
// Cng keys
CngKey eccCngKey = CngKey.Open(...);
Jwk jwk = new Jwk(eccCngKey, isPrivate: false); //or 'true' by defaut
// RSA keys
RSA rsaKey=new X509Certificate2("my-key.p12", "password").GetRSAPublicKey();
Jwk jwk = new Jwk(rsaKey, isPrivate: false); //or 'true' by defaut
// ECDsa keys
ECDsa ecdsaKey = new X509Certificate2("ecc521.p12", "password").GetECDsaPublicKey();
Jwk jwk = new Jwk(ecdsaKey, isPrivate: false); //or 'true' by defaut
or convert Jwk key to corresponding ECDsa, RSA or CngKey (elliptic keys only)
// Returns ephemeral exportable CngKey, handle is cached for subsequent calls
CngKey cngKey = jwk.CngKey(usage: CngKeyUsages.KeyAgreement); // or 'CngKeyUsages.Signing' by default
// Returns backing ECDsa key, constructs new on demand, cached for subsequent calls
ECDsa ecdaKey = jwk.ECDsaKey();
// Returns backing RSA key, constructs new on demand, cached for subsequent calls
RSA rsaKey = jwk.RsaKey();
Direct interface with X509Certificate2 class is provided when working with chains in JWK:
X509Certificate2 root = new X509Certificate2("root.p12");
X509Certificate2 intermidiary = new X509Certificate2("inter.p12");
X509Certificate2 signing = new X509Certificate2("signing.p12");
Jwk key = new Jwk();
// set chain at once
key.SetX509Chain(new List<X509Certificate2>{ root, intermidiary });
// or add one by one
key.Add(signing);
// Read chain from key as list of certificates
List<X509Certificate2> test = key.GetX509Chain();
Helpers to set SHA-1 and SHA-256 thumbprints:
X509Certificate2 signing = new X509Certificate2("signing.p12");
Jwk key = new Jwk();
// Calculate and set certificate SHA-1 thumbprint
key.SetX5T(signing);
// Calculate and set certificate SHA-256 thumbprint
key.SetX5TSha256(signing);
In addition to named params from RFC 7517 library allows to include any custom key value params to the key objects:
Jwk key = new Jwk();
// add custom params
key.OtherParams = new Dictionary<string, object>();
key.OtherParams["s"] = "2WCTcJZ1Rvd_CJuJripQ1w";
key.OtherParams["c"] = 4096;
// or read them from the key same way
string s = (string)key.OtherParams["s"];
JwkSet is Linq compatible and it is preffered way to locate keys of interest within collection:
JwkSet keySet = new JwkSet(....);
IEnumerable<Jwk> rsaKeys =
from key in keySet
where key.Alg == "enc" && key.Kty == Jwk.KeyTypes.RSA

As of v2.5.0 library support b64 header to control payload decoding and encoding and optional content detaching.
Encoding can be controlled with optional JwtOptions parameter, that support:
DetachPayload - whether we'd like to omit payload part in token produced (false by default)EncodePayload - whether to apply base64url encoding to payload part (true by default)Options can be mixed in any combinations. To match RFC 7797:
string token = Jose.JWT.Encode(json, secretKey, JwsAlgorithm.HS256, options: new JwtOptions { DetachPayload = true, EncodePayload = false});
or just skip payload for instance:
string token = Jose.JWT.Encode(json, secretKey, JwsAlgorithm.HS256, options: new JwtOptions { DetachPayload = true });
Decoding automatically respect b64 header if present. In case of detached payload one can provide optional payload param:
string token = "eyJiNjQiOmZhbHNlLCJjcml0IjpbImI2NCJdLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9..iyormYw6b0zKjx4K-fpeZO8xrLghkeUFMb2l4alz03CRLVdlXkdeKVG7N5lBbS-kXB4-8hH1ELFA5fUJzN2QYR6ZZIWjDF77HYTw7lsyjTJDNABjBFn-BIXlWatjNdgtRi2BZg2q_Wos87ZQT6Sl-h5hvxsFEsR0kGPMQ4Fjp-sxOyfnls8jAlziqmkpN-K6I3tK2vCLCQgnaN9sYrsIcrzuEA30YeXsgUe3m44yxLCXczXWKE3kgGiZ0MRpVvKOZt4B2DZLcRmNArhxjhWWd1nKZvv8c7kN0TqOjcNEUGWzwDs4ikCSz1aYKaLPXgjzpKnzbajUM117F3aCAaWH9g";
// will echo provided payload back as return value, for consistency
string json = Jose.JWT.Decode(token, PubKey(), payload: @"{""hello"": ""world""}");
// as of v5 can also be used with Verify:
string json = Jose.JWT.Verify(token, PubKey(), payload: @"{""hello"": ""world""}");
also works with binary payloads:
string token = "eyJiNjQiOmZhbHNlLCJjcml0IjpbImI2NCJdLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9..ToCewDcERVLuqImwDkOd9iSxvTC8vzh-HrhuohOIjWMrGpTZi2FdzVN4Ll3fb2Iz3s_hj-Lno_c6m_7VcmOHfRLC9sPjSu2q9dbNkKo8Zc2FQmsCBdQi06XGAEJZW2M9380pxoYKiJ51a4EbGl4Ag7lX3hXeTPYRMVifacgdlpg2SYZzDPZQbWvibgtXFsBsIqPd-8i6ucE2eMdaNeWMLsHv-b5s7uWn8hN2nMKHj000Qce5rSbpK58l2LNeWw4IR6wNOqSZfbeerMxq1u0p-ZKIQxP24MltaPjZtqMdD4AzjrP4UCEf7VaLSkSuNVSf6ZmLmE_OYgQuQe7adFdoPg";
// will echo provided payload back as return value, for consistency
byte[] payload = Jose.JWT.DecodeBytes(token, PubKey(), payload: BinaryPayload);
jose-jwt allows to pass extra headers when encoding token to overide deafault values*. extraHeaders: named param can be used, it accepts IDictionary<string, object> type.
jose-jwt is NOT allow to override alg and enc headers.
var payload = new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
{ "sub", "mr.x@contoso.com" },
{ "exp", 1300819380 }
};
var headers = new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
{ "typ", "JWT" },
{ "cty", "JWT" },
{ "keyid", "111-222-333"}
};
var secretKey = new byte[]{164,60,194,0,161,189,41,38,130,89,141,164,45,170,159,209,69,137,243,216,191,131,47,250,32,107,231,117,37,158,225,234};
string token = Jose.JWT.Encode(payload, secretKey, JweAlgorithm.A256GCMKW, JweEncryption.A256CBC_HS512, extraHeaders: headers);
var payload = new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
{ "sub", "mr.x@contoso.com" },
{ "exp", 1300819380 }
};
var headers = new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
{ "typ", "JWT" },
{ "cty", "JWT" },
{ "keyid", "111-222-333"}
};
var privateKey=new X509Certificate2("my-key.p12", "password", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable | X509KeyStorageFlags.MachineKeySet).PrivateKey as RSACryptoServiceProvider;
string token=Jose.JWT.Encode(payload, privateKey, JwsAlgorithm.RS256, extraHeaders: headers);
* For backwards compatibility signing uses pre-configured typ: 'JWT' header by default.
In some cases validation (decoding) key can be unknown prior to examining token content. For instance one can use different keys per token issuer or rely on headers information to determine which key to use, do logging or other things.
jose-jwt provides helper methods to examine token content without performing actual integrity validation or decryption.
IDictionary<string, object> Jose.JWT.Headers(String token) to return header information as dictionary and T Jose.JWT.Headers<T>(string token) to return headers information as
unmarshalled type.
string Jose.JWT.Payload(string token) to return unparsed payload and T Jose.JWT.Payload<T>(string token) to return unmarshalled payload type. Those 2 methods works only with
signed tokens and will throw JoseException when applied on encrypted token.
With JWE JSON (RFC 7516) serialized tokens JweToken JWE.Headers() method can be used for same purpose.
It will parse JSON structure into JweToken object and pre-populate effective headers (JweRecipient.JoseHeader property, see JWE) per every recipient in token. But will not perform actual decryption or integrity verification.
Security warning: please note, you should NOT rely on infromation extracted by given helpers without performing token validation as second step.
Below are couple examples on how two-phase validation can be implemented with jose-jwt:
//step 1a: get headers info
var headers = Jose.JWT.Headers(token);
//step 1b: lookup validation key based on header info
var key = FindKey(headers["keyid"]);
//step 2: perform actual token validation
var payload = Jose.JWT.Decode(token, key);
//step 1a: get payload as custom JwtToken object
var jwt = Jose.JWT.Payload<JwtToken>(token);
//step 1b: lookup validation key based on issuer
var key = FindKeyByIssuer(jwt.Iss);
//step 2: perform actual token validation
var payload = Jose.JWT.Decode<JwtToken>(token, key);
// Validate token with a public RSA key published by the IDP as a list of JSON Web Keys (JWK)
// step 0: you've read the keys from the jwks_uri URL found in http://<IDP authority URL>/.well-known/openid-configuration endpoint
Dictionary<string, ServiceStack.Text.JsonObject> keys = GetKeysFromIdp();
// step 1a: get headers info
var headers = Jose.JWT.Headers(token);
// step 1b: lookup validation key based on header info
var jwk = keys[headers["keyid"]];
// step 1c: load the JWK data into an RSA key
RSACryptoServiceProvider key = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
key.ImportParameters(new RSAParameters
{
Modulus = Base64Url.Decode(jwk["n"]),
Exponent = Base64Url.Decode(jwk["e"])
});
// step 2: perform actual token validation
var paylod = Jose.JWT.Decode(token, key);
// Validate JWE JSON token with dynamic key
// step 1a: parse token, extract public JWK set and keyid for some recipient
var parsed = JWE.Headers(token);
var keysUrl = parsed.UnprotectedHeader["jku"];
var keyId = parsed.Recipients[0].Header["keyid"];
// step 1b: find/retrieve/ensure actual key for decryption
var key = FindKey(keysUrl, keyId);
// step 2: perform actual token validation
var payload = JWE.Decrypt(token, key).Plaintext;
It is possible to use strict validation before decoding a token. This means that you will specify which algorithm and possibly encryption type you are expecting to receive in the header. If the received header doesn't match with the types that you have specified an exception will be thrown and the parsing will be stopped.
Additionally starting v5 jose-jwt offering dedicated methods:
JWT.Verify(), JWT.VerifyBytes() - same as JWT.Decode() but works only with signed tokens, use when you want to explicitly restrict only to signing algs.JWT.Decrypt(), JWT.DecryptBytes() - same as JWT.Decode() but works only with encrypted tokens, use when you want to explicitly restrict only to encryption algs.Both can be additionally combined with strict validation.
Example of how to strictly validate an encrypted token:
string token = "eyJhbGciOiJkaXIiLCJlbmMiOiJBMjU2R0NNIn0..Fmz3PLVfv-ySl4IJ.LMZpXMDoBIll5yuEs81Bws2-iUUaBSpucJPL-GtDKXkPhFpJmES2T136Vd8xzvp-3JW-fvpRZtlhluqGHjywPctol71Zuz9uFQjuejIU4axA_XiAy-BadbRUm1-25FRT30WtrrxKltSkulmIS5N-Nsi_zmCz5xicB1ZnzneRXGaXY4B444_IHxGBIS_wdurPAN0OEGw4xIi2DAD1Ikc99a90L7rUZfbHNg_iTBr-OshZqDbR6C5KhmMgk5KqDJEN8Ik-Yw.Jbk8ZmO901fqECYVPKOAzg";
byte[] secretKey = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 };
string json = Jose.JWT.Decode(token, secretKey, JweAlgorithm.DIR, JweEncryption.A256GCM);
// starting v5 also applies to dedicated methods
string json = Jose.JWT.Decrypt(token, secretKey, JweAlgorithm.DIR, JweEncryption.A256GCM);
Example of how to strictly validate a signed token:
string token = "eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsImN0eSI6InRleHRcL3BsYWluIn0.eyJoZWxsbyI6ICJ3b3JsZCJ9.EVnmDMlz-oi05AQzts-R3aqWvaBlwVZddWkmaaHyMx5Phb2NSLgyI0kccpgjjAyo1S5KCB3LIMPfmxCX_obMKA";
byte[] x = { 4, 114, 29, 223, 58, 3, 191, 170, 67, 128, 229, 33, 242, 178, 157, 150, 133, 25, 209, 139, 166, 69, 55, 26, 84, 48, 169, 165, 67, 232, 98, 9 };
byte[] y = { 131, 116, 8, 14, 22, 150, 18, 75, 24, 181, 159, 78, 90, 51, 71, 159, 214, 186, 250, 47, 207, 246, 142, 127, 54, 183, 72, 72, 253, 21, 88, 53 };
var publicKey = EccKey.New(x, y);
string json = Jose.JWT.Decode(token, publicKey, JwsAlgorithm.ES256);
// starting v5 also applies to dedicated methods
string json = Jose.JWT.Verify(token, secretKey, JwsAlgorithm.ES256);
It is possible to encode and decode JOSE objects that have a payload consisting of arbitrary binary data. The methods that work with a binary payload have the Bytes suffix in the name to distinguish them in cases of potential ambiguity, e.g. EncodeBytes().
Example of working with signed binary payloads in JOSE objects:
var payload = new byte[] { 1, 2, 3, 0, 255 };
var signingKey = Convert.FromBase64String("WbQs8GowdRX1zYCFi3/VuQ==");
// Encoding a token with a binary payload.
var token = Jose.JWT.EncodeBytes(payload, signingKey, Jose.JwsAlgorithm.HS256);
// Reading the binary payload from a token (with signature verification).
var decoded = Jose.JWT.DecodeBytes(token, signingKey);
// Starting v5: reading the binary payload from a token (with signature verification) with explicit method
var decoded = Jose.JWT.VerifyBytes(token, signingKey);
// Starting v5: reading the binary payload from a token (with decryption) with explicit method
var decoded = Jose.JWT.DecryptBytes(token, signingKey);
// Reading the binary payload from a token (without signature verification).
decoded = Jose.JWT.PayloadBytes(token);
jose-jwt library is agnostic about object model used to represent json payload as well as underlying framework used to serialize/parse json objects. Library provides convinient generic methods to work directly with your object model:
MyDomainObject obj=Jose.JWT.Decode<MyDomainObject>(token,secretKey); //will invoke configured IJsonMapper to perform parsing/mapping of content to MyDomainObject
string data=Jose.JWT.Encode(obj,secrectKey,JwsAlgorithm.HS256); //for object argument configured IJsonMapper will be invoked to serialize object to json string before encoding
While deserializing a token, if a field is not provided in token (may due to payload schema changes), the field will remain its default value. This is Newtonsoft.Json's behavior. This hehavior is quite dangerous, which could give attacker chances.
Suppose the payload class is Payload.
class Payload
{
public int UserId { get; set; }
}
Later the Payload class is changed to:
class Payload
{
public int Id { get; set; } // UserId -> Id
}
Now, if the library deserializes a token issued before the change of Payload class, proterty Id is not provided in the token and will remain its default value 0. The payload data will be: {Id = 0}.
The user will get someone else's identity (id: 0) .
So developers should always use nullable data types for payload class properties.
As of v2.3.0 settings can be configured either globally or on a per-call basis using a JwtSettings object. The JWT.DefaultSettings object can be modified to change global settings, or a JwtSettings instance can be passed to any public method on JWT to override the global settings for particular method call.
It is possible to provide custom implementations of:
JwtSettings.RegisterJws(alg, impl)JwtSettings.RegisterJwe(alg, impl)JwtSettings.RegisterJwa(alg, impl)JwtSettings.RegisterCompression(alg, impl)JwtSettings.RegisterMapper(mapper)as well as specify aliases when decoding tokens from 3rd party libraries that do not comply exactly to spec:
JwtSettings.RegisterJwsAlias(header, alg)JwtSettings.RegisterJweAlias(header, alg)JwtSettings.RegisterJwaAlias(header, alg)JwtSettings.RegisterCompressionAlias(header, alg)// global setting
Jose.JWT.DefaultSettings.JsonMapper = new Jose.NewtonsoftMapper();
Jose.JWTSettings settings = new Jose.JwtSettings();
settings.JsonMapper = new Jose.JSSerializerMapper();
// override global settings for this call
Jose.JWT.Decode(token, secretKey, settings: settings);
//or simply
Jose.JWT.Decode(token, secretKey, settings: new JwtSettings().RegisterMapper(new Jose.JSSerializerMapper()));
// as of v5
Jose.JWT.Verify(token, secretKey, settings: settings);
Jose.JWT.Decrypt(token, secretKey, settings: settings);
The library provides simple Jose.IJsonMapper interface to plug any json processing library or customize default behavior. The only requirement for mapping implementations
is ability to correctly serialize/parse IDictionary<string,object> type.
The default supplied Jose.IJsonMapper implementation is based on System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.
public class NewtonsoftMapper : IJsonMapper
{
public string Serialize(object obj)
{
var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings
{
ContractResolver = new DictionaryKeysResolver(),
NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore,
};
return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj, Formatting.Indented, settings);
}
public T Parse<T>(string json)
{
var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings
{
ContractResolver = new DictionaryKeysResolver(),
NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore,
};
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(json, settings);
}
}
Jose.JWT.DefaultSettings.JsonMapper = new NewtonsoftMapper();
public class ServiceStackMapper : IJsonMapper
{
public string Serialize(object obj)
{
return ServiceStack.Text.JsonSerializer.SerializeToString(obj);
}
public T Parse<T>(string json)
{
return ServiceStack.Text.JsonSerializer.DeserializeFromString<T>(json);
}
}
Jose.JWT.DefaultSettings.JsonMapper = new ServiceStackMapper();
The default implementations of any of the signing, encryption, key management, or compression algorithms can be overridden.
public class CustomKeyManagement : IKeyManagement
{
public byte[] Unwrap(byte[] encryptedCek, object key, int cekSizeBits, IDictionary<string, object> header)
{
// implement custom key unwrapping (e.g. using Amazon KMS for instance)
}
public byte[][] WrapNewKey(int cekSizeBits, object key, IDictionary<string, object> header)
{
// implement custom key wrapping (e.g. using Amazon KMS for instance)
}
}
...
// set default RSA-OAEP key management to use custom implementation
Jose.JWT.DefaultSettings.RegisterJwa(JweAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP, new CustomKeyManagement());
It is possible to add any number of aliases when decoding for signing, encryption, key management, or compression algorithms. For example if you are
dealing with tokens produced from 3rd party library which you have no control over and by mistake it is using RSA_OAEP_256 header value instead
of RSA-OAEP-256 it is possible to register alias:
Jose.JWT.Decode(token, key, settings: new JwtSettings().RegisterJwaAlias("RSA_OAEP_256", JweAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP_256));
Multiple calls can be chained for more convinience:
Jose.JWT.Decode(token, secretKey, settings: new JwtSettings()
.RegisterMapper(customMapper)
.RegisterJws(JwsAlgorithm.RS256, amazonKmsImpl)
.RegisterJws(JwsAlgorithm.RS384, amazonKmsImpl)
.RegisterJws(JwsAlgorithm.RS512, amazonKmsImpl)
.RegisterJwa(JweAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP_256, hsmImpl)
.RegisterJwe(JweEncryption.A128GCM, linuxGcmImpl)
.RegisterJwaAlias("RSA_OAEP_256", JweAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP_256)
.RegisterCompression(JweCompression.DEF, hardwareAcceleratedDeflate)
);
In response to ever increasing attacks on various JWT implementations, jose-jwt as of version v4.1 and beyond introduced number of additional security controls to limit potential attack surface on services and projects using the library.
One can use following methods to deregister any signing, encryption, key management or compression algorithms from runtime suite, that is considered unsafe or simply not expected by service.
JwtSettings.DeregisterJws(JwsAlgorithm alg) - to remove signing algorithmJwtSettings.DeregisterJwa(JweAlgorithm alg)) - to remove key management algorithmJwtSettings.DeregisterJwe(JweEncryption alg) - to remove signing algorithmJwtSettings.DeregisterCompression(JweCompression alg) - to remove signing algorithm JWT.DefaultSettings.DeregisterJws(JwsAlgorithm.none)
.DeregisterJwe(JweAlgorithm.RSA1_5)
.DeregisterJwe(JweAlgorithm.DIR)
.DeregisterCompression(JweCompression.DEF);
There were denial-of-service attacks reported on JWT libraries that supports deflate compression by constructing malicious payload that explodes in terms of RAM on decompression. See for details: https://github.com/dvsekhvalnov/jose-jwt/issues/237
As of v5 jose-jwt limits decompression buffer to 250Kb to limit memory consumption and additionaly provides a way to adjust the limit according to specific scenarios:
// Override compression alg with new limits (10Kb example)
Jose.JWT.DefaultSettings.RegisterCompression(JweCompression.DEF, new DeflateCompression(10 * 1024));
As it quite easy to abuse PBES2 family of algorithms via forging header with extra large p2c values, jose-jwt library introduced iteration count limits in v4.1 to reduce runtime exposure.
By default, maxIterations is set according to OWASP PBKDF2 Recomendations
PBES2-HS256+A128KW: 310000
PBES2-HS384+A192KW: 250000
PBES2-HS512+A256KW: 120000
, while minIterations kept at 0 for backward compatibility.
If it is desired to implement different limits, it can be achieved via registering Pbse2HmacShaKeyManagementWithAesKeyWrap implementation with different parameters:
Jose.JWT.DefaultSettings
// Pick your own min/max limits
.RegisterJwe(JweAlgorithm.PBES2_HS256_A128KW, new Pbse2HmacShaKeyManagementWithAesKeyWrap(128, new AesKeyWrapManagement(128), 310000, 310000));
.RegisterJwe(JweAlgorithm.PBES2_HS384_A192KW, new Pbse2HmacShaKeyManagementWithAesKeyWrap(192, new AesKeyWrapManagement(192), 250000, 250000));
.RegisterJwe(JweAlgorithm.PBES2_HS512_A256KW, new Pbse2HmacShaKeyManagementWithAesKeyWrap(256, new AesKeyWrapManagement(256), 120000, 120000));
In case you can't upgrade to latest version, but would like to have protections against PBES2 abuse, it is recommended to stick with Two-phase validation precheck before decoding:
IDictionary<string, object> headers = Jose.JWT.Headers(token);
string alg = (string)headers["alg"];
long p2c = Convert.ToInt32(headers["p2c"]);
if(alg.StartsWith("PBES2-") && p2c > 310000)
{
// potentially can be forged/abused token
}
else
{
// continue with decoding routine
Jose.JWT.Decode(token, key);
}
There are number of algorithm confusion attacks reported in general on different JWT libraries in recent years. Typically attacks exploits public keys published on server side (or obtained by other means) via forging bogus JWT tokens signed or encrypted with given public key but with tampered alg header to confuse server validation implementation (hence the attack name). For example take a look at https://github.com/dvsekhvalnov/jose-jwt/issues/236
By nature most of confusion attacks targeting specific usage of libraries rather then libraries itself, as library can't predict in what type of applications and conditions it will be used.
Here are some design practices to consider in your applications to avoid confusion attacks with jose-jwt:
Clearly separate your signing and encryption keys. Do not allow to use signing keys to decrypt tokens and vice versa.
When you can, be explicit whether you working with signed or encrypted tokens. As of v5 library provides dedicated verification methods: Verify() and Decrypt()
Use Strict Validation and assert algorithms explicitly if possible.
Always good idea to deregister algorithms you are not planning to use to limit attack surface.
For highly dynamic environments consider two-phase validation practice to implement more flexible protection measures.
Checkout UnitTests/TestSuite.cs for more examples.
Below is collection of links and approaches to nail down some common questions around key management:
When you dealing with RSACryptoServiceProvider you can face Invalid algorithm specified exception while performing signing or encryption operations. The reason usually is that underneath RSACryptoServiceProvider is not using Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider. There are several ways to fix that:
public static RSACryptoServiceProvider FixCSP(RSACryptoServiceProvider key)
{
var privKey = key.PrivateKey;
RSACryptoServiceProvider newKey = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
newKey.ImportParameters(privKey.ExportParameters(true));
return newKey;
}
The limitation of this approach is that private key should be marked exportable. It is not recommended for production environments but can be handy for testing.
public static RSACryptoServiceProvider FixCSP(RSACryptoServiceProvider key)
{
var privKey = key.PrivateKey;
var enhCsp = new RSACryptoServiceProvider().CspKeyContainerInfo;
var cspParams = new CspParameters(enhCsp.ProviderType, enhCsp.ProviderName, privKey.CspKeyContainerInfo.KeyContainerName);
return new RSACryptoServiceProvider(cspParams);
}
For more details see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7444586/how-can-i-sign-a-file-using-rsa-and-sha256-with-net
E.g. if you don't have .p12 file where certificate is combined with private key that can be loaded via X509Certificate2 but rather have
only private key:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
............................
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Then take a look at: http://www.donaldsbaconbytes.com/2016/08/create-jwt-with-a-private-rsa-key/
jose-jwt is not providing standalone strong-named assembly as of now. If you need one in your project, please take a look at https://github.com/dvsekhvalnov/jose-jwt/issues/5
Usually people have success with https://github.com/brutaldev/StrongNameSigner
ASP.NET Team provides Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer that can be used to authorize web service routes using JWT Tokens created using JOSE-JWT that are passed via Authorize: Bearer HTTP header.
In startup.cs, you can add JWT Authorization middleware by passing options to the services.AddAuthentication extension method in void Configure method.
Below is the example for setting up the middleware using HS-* signed token:
using System;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
// The key length needs to be of sufficient length, or otherwise an error will occur.
var tokenSecretKey = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Configuration["TokenSecretKey"]);
var tokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
{
// Token signature will be verified using a private key.
ValidateIssuerSigningKey = true,
RequireSignedTokens = true,
IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(tokenSecretKey),
// Token will only be valid if contains "accelist.com" for "iss" claim.
ValidateIssuer = true,
ValidIssuer = "accelist.com",
// Token will only be valid if contains "accelist.com" for "aud" claim.
ValidateAudience = true,
ValidAudience = "accelist.com",
// Token will only be valid if not expired yet, with 5 minutes clock skew.
ValidateLifetime = true,
RequireExpirationTime = true,
ClockSkew = new TimeSpan(0, 5, 0),
ValidateActor = false,
};
services.AddAuthentication(options =>
{
options.DefaultAuthenticateScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
options.DefaultChallengeScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
}).AddJwtBearer(options => { options.TokenValidationParameters = tokenValidationParameters; });
After that, your Controllers or Actions can be secured by using [Authorize] attribute.
In addition, certain JWT reserved claims will be automatically be populated into HttpContext.User as the following Claim Type (from System.Security.Claims namespace):
| JWT Claim Name | Data Type | Claim Type |
|---|---|---|
| sub | string | ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier |
string | ClaimTypes.Email | |
| unique_name | string | ClaimTypes.Name |
| roles | List<string> | ClaimTypes.Role |
This list is anything but complete. There might be more claims that are transformed but not listed yet.
Therefore, you can use role-based authorization as well, for example: [Authorize(Roles = "Administrator")]
If you wish to do more than one type of authentication to separate routes, you should use app.UseWhen, for example:
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
app.UseStaticFiles();
AuthenticateUI(app);
AuthenticateAPI(app);
app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
}
public void AuthenticateAPI(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
// IsAPI method returns TRUE when a request route is started with "/api".
// For those routes, we'll use JWT Authorization:
app.UseWhen(context => IsAPI(context), builder =>
{
builder.UseJwtBearerAuthentication(new JwtBearerOptions
{
AutomaticAuthenticate = true,
TokenValidationParameters = tokenValidationParameters,
});
});
}
public void AuthenticateUI(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
// For non-API routes, we'll use Cookie Authorization, as an example.
app.UseWhen(context => !IsAPI(context), builder =>
{
builder.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
{
AuthenticationScheme = "Accelist_Identity",
LoginPath = new PathString("/auth/login"),
AutomaticAuthenticate = true,
AutomaticChallenge = true
});
});
}
We can use an MVC web API to accept a request containing a user's credentials in exchange for a JWT token.
public class TokenRequest
{
[Required]
public string Username { set; get; }
[Required]
public string Password { set; get; }
}
[Route("api/v1/token")]
public class TokenApiController : Controller
{
private readonly AuthService AuthService;
public TokenApiController(AuthService authService)
{
// AuthService is your own class that handles your application's authentication functions.
// AuthService is injected via Controller's constructor and registered At startup.cs
// Read more: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/mvc/controllers/dependency-injection
this.AuthService = authService;
}
[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> Post([FromBody]TokenRequest model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid == false)
{
return BadRequest("Username and password must not be empty!");
}
// Authenticates username and password to your SQL Server database, for example.
// If authentication is successful, return a user's claims.
var claims = await AuthService.TryLogin(model.Username, model.Password);
if (claims == null)
{
return BadRequest("Invalid username or password!");
}
// As an example, AuthService.CreateToken can return Jose.JWT.Encode(claims, YourTokenSecretKey, Jose.JwsAlgorithm.HS256);
var token = AuthService.CreateToken(claims);
return Ok(token);

Therefore, by sending a HTTP POST request containing Username and Password to that endpoint, you will receive a token that is signed by the server.
Example for making a request from the client using JavaScript Promise using AngularJS $http:
$http.post("/api/v1/token", {
username: "foo",
password: "bar"
}).then(function(response) {
// Request successful.
MyToken = response.data;
}, function(response) {
// Request failed! Do something with the response.
});
Then later, you can use the obtained token for sending requests to secured routes by attaching it to the request header.
$http.post("/api/v1/function", {
foo: "bar"
}, {
headers: {
Authorization: "Bearer " + MyToken
}
}).then(function(response) {
// Request successful. Do something with the response.
}, function(response) {
// Request failed! Do something with the response.
});
