Dumb JOSE

treehouse-ci github-action

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 (esp. with OIDC) and alike.
  • Don't allow for any of the sharp edges.
  • Allow for binding domain parameters as much as possible to the public keys.
  • Extensive test coverage even if a particular case seems pedantic, guaranteed to be handled properly and/or improbable to be problematic.

Non-Goals

  • Signing capabilities.
  • Anything that has to do with encryption, key exchange or MACs.
  • Be 100% compliant with the standard.
