Class DefaultJWSMinter<C extends SecurityContext>

java.lang.Object

com.nimbusds.jose.mint.DefaultJWSMinter<C>

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConfigurableJWSMinter<C>, JWSMinter<C>, JWSMinterConfiguration<C>

public class DefaultJWSMinter<C extends SecurityContext>
extends Object
implements ConfigurableJWSMinter<C>

Default minter of JSON Web Signature (JWS) objects and signed JSON Web Tokens (JWTs).

Must be configured with the following:

• A setJWKSource(com.nimbusds.jose.jwk.source.JWKSource<C>) JSON Web Key (JWK) source} to select a signing key. The default key selection procedure is based on the JWSHeader. To customise it pass a suitable context.

An optional context parameter is available to facilitate passing of additional data between the caller and the underlying selector of key candidates (in both directions).

See sections 6 of RFC 7515 (JWS) for guidelines on key selection.

This minter adds any key-identifying header based on the JWK that it selects.

Method Details

mint

public JWSObject mint(JWSHeader header,
 Payload payload,
 C context)
               throws JOSEException

Creates a new JSON Web Signature (JWS) object using the provided JWSHeader and Payload. To create a signed JSON Web Token (JWT) use the JWTClaimsSet.toPayload() method to obtain a Payload representation of the JWT claims.

Derives the signing key from the JWSHeader as well as any application-specific context.

If multiple keys are matched against the header's criteria, the first will be used to sign the object. To customise the key selection you can set a custom JWKSource like so:

 public static class MyJWKSource implements JWKSource<SecurityContext> {
     private final JWKSource<SecurityContext> delegate;

     public List<JWK> get(final JWKSelector jwkSelector, final SecurityContext context)
         throws KeySourceException {
         List<JWK> jwks = this.delegate.get(jwkSelector, context);
         return jwks.get(jwks.size() - 1); // get last one instead
     }
 }

 minter.setJWKSource(new MyJWKSource(jwkSource));
 

or you can select your own JWK and do:

 JWK jwk = findJWK();
 minter.mint(header, claims, new JWKSecurityContext(jwks));
 

Once the key is discovered, adds any headers related to the discovered signing key, including kid, x5u, x5c, and x5t#256.

All other headers and claims remain as-is. This method expects the caller to add the typ, alg, and any other needed headers.

Specified by:

mint in interface JWSMinter<C extends SecurityContext>

Parameters:

header - The JWSHeader to use, less any key-identifying headers, which this method will derive.

payload - The Payload.

context - A SecurityContext, null if not required.

Returns:

The signed JWS object.

Throws:

JOSEException - If the instance is improperly configured, if no appropriate JWK could be found, or if signing failed.
