JOSE implementation in Python
Project description
A JOSE implementation in Python
Docs are available on ReadTheDocs.
The JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) technologies - JSON Web Signature (JWS), JSON Web Encryption (JWE), JSON Web Key (JWK), and JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) - collectively can be used to encrypt and/or sign content using a variety of algorithms. While the full set of permutations is extremely large, and might be daunting to some, it is expected that most applications will only use a small set of algorithms to meet their needs.
Installation
$ pip install python-jose[cryptography]
Cryptographic Backends
As of 3.3.0, python-jose implements three different cryptographic backends. The backend must be selected as an extra when installing python-jose. If you do not select a backend, the native-python backend will be installed.
Unless otherwise noted, all backends support all operations.
Due to complexities with setuptools, the native-python backend is always installed, even if you select a different backend on install. We recommend that you remove unnecessary dependencies in production.
cryptography
This backend uses pyca/cryptography for all cryptographic operations. This is the recommended backend and is selected over all other backends if any others are present.
Installation: pip install python-jose[cryptography]
Unused dependencies:
rsa
ecdsa
pyasn1
pycryptodome
This backend uses pycryptodome for all cryptographic operations.
Installation: pip install python-jose[pycryptodome]
Unused dependencies:
rsa
native-python
This backend uses python-rsa and python-ecdsa for all cryptographic operations. This backend is always installed but any other backend will take precedence if one is installed.
Installation: pip install python-jose
Usage
>>> from jose import jwt
>>> token = jwt.encode({'key': 'value'}, 'secret', algorithm='HS256')
u'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJrZXkiOiJ2YWx1ZSJ9.FG-8UppwHaFp1LgRYQQeS6EDQF7_6-bMFegNucHjmWg'
>>> jwt.decode(token, 'secret', algorithms=['HS256'])
{u'key': u'value'}Thanks
This library was originally based heavily on the work of the folks over at PyJWT.
