# Dumb JOSE # Dumb JOSE
Insecure library for a set of insecure formats. Insecure library for a set of insecure formats.
It aims to provide inflexible verification for cases where you unfortunately can't avoid touching JWT.
## Requirements
* Go *>= 1.17*
## Disclaimer
Don't use JWT. You don't need me to tell you about it.
Likewise, you shouldn't need me to tell you that you shouldn't use this library.
## Goals
* Just enough JWT for people to speak commonly encountered OAuth 2.0 and alike.
* Don't allow for any of the sharp edges.
* Allow for binding domain parameters as much as possible to the public keys.
## Non-Goals
* Signing capabilities.
* Anything that has to do with encryption or key exchange.
* Be 100% compliant with the standard.
