Class JsonWebSignature

java.lang.Object

com.google.api.client.json.webtoken.JsonWebToken

com.google.api.client.json.webtoken.JsonWebSignature

public class JsonWebSignature
extends JsonWebToken

JSON Web Signature (JWS).

Sample usage:

  public static void printPayload(JsonFactory jsonFactory, String tokenString) throws IOException {
    JsonWebSignature jws = JsonWebSignature.parse(jsonFactory, tokenString);
    System.out.println(jws.getPayload());
  }
 

Implementation is not thread-safe.

Constructor Detail

JsonWebSignature

public JsonWebSignature(JsonWebSignature.Header header,
                JsonWebToken.Payload payload,
                byte[] signatureBytes,
                byte[] signedContentBytes)

Parameters:

header - header

payload - payload

signatureBytes - bytes of the signature

signedContentBytes - bytes of the signature content

Method Detail

getHeader

public JsonWebSignature.Header getHeader()

Description copied from class: JsonWebToken

Returns the header.

Overriding is only supported for the purpose of calling the super implementation and changing the return type, but nothing else.

Overrides:

getHeader in class JsonWebToken

verifySignature

public final boolean verifySignature(PublicKey publicKey)
                              throws GeneralSecurityException

Verifies the signature of the content.

Currently only "RS256" algorithm is verified, but others may be added in the future. For any other algorithm it returns false.

Parameters:

publicKey - public key

Returns:

whether the algorithm is recognized and it is verified

Throws:

GeneralSecurityException

getSignatureBytes

public final byte[] getSignatureBytes()

Returns the modifiable array of bytes of the signature.

getSignedContentBytes

public final byte[] getSignedContentBytes()

Returns the modifiable array of bytes of the signature content.

parse

public static JsonWebSignature parse(JsonFactory jsonFactory,
                     String tokenString)
                              throws IOException

Parses the given JWS token string and returns the parsed JsonWebSignature.

Parameters:

jsonFactory - JSON factory

tokenString - JWS token string

Returns:

parsed JWS

Throws:

IOException

parser

public static JsonWebSignature.Parser parser(JsonFactory jsonFactory)

Returns a new instance of a JWS parser.

signUsingRsaSha256

public static String signUsingRsaSha256(PrivateKey privateKey,
                        JsonFactory jsonFactory,
                        JsonWebSignature.Header header,
                        JsonWebToken.Payload payload)
                                 throws GeneralSecurityException,
                                        IOException

Signs a given JWS header and payload based on the given private key using RSA and SHA-256 as described in JWS using RSA SHA-256.

Parameters:

privateKey - private key

jsonFactory - JSON factory

header - JWS header

payload - JWS payload

Returns:

signed JWS string

Throws:

GeneralSecurityException

IOException
