Build Status License:MIT License:Apache Minimum rustc version

JWKS-Client is a library written in Rust to decode and validate JWT tokens using a JSON Web Key Store.

Breaking Change

Now at version 2.0. Support for async/await thanks to Genna Wingert. Requires Rust Stable 1.39 or higher

** IMPORTANT **

JWKS-Client was designed to work with a project that uses Rocket. Unfortunately, the version of Rocket in crates.io is not compatible with the version of Ring required for JWKS-Client. Until the next version of Rocket is published, consider using the following in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
jwks-client = "0.1.4"
rocket = { git = "https://github.com/jfbilodeau/Rocket", version = "0.5.0-dev"}
# Other dependencies...

[dependencies.rocket_contrib]
version = "0.5.0-dev"
git = "https://github.com/jfbilodeau/Rocket"
# Other options...

Features

Library wide:

  • No panic!
  • Build with Rust stable (1.40)
  • Designed for a production system (not an academic project)
  • Concise results (see error::Type for example)

JWKS key store

  • Download key set from HTTP address
  • Decode JWT tokens into header, payload and signature
  • Verify token signature, expiry and not-before
  • Determine when keys should be refreshed

JWT:

  • Transfer header and payload in user-defined struct. See the example below[^1]
  • Accessor for standard header and payload fields

JWKS-Client was create specifically to decode GCP/Firebase JWT but should be useable with little to no modification. Contact me to propose support for different JWKS key store. Feedback, suggestions, complaints and criticism is appreciated.

Basic Usage

The following demonstrates how to load a set of keys from an HTTP address and verify a JWT token using those keys:

use jwks_client::error::Error;
use jwks_client::keyset::KeyStore;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let jkws_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jfbilodeau/jwks-client/0.1.8/test/test-jwks.json";

    let key_set = KeyStore::new_from(jkws_url.to_owned()).await.unwrap();

    // ...

    let token = "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsImtpZCI6IjEifQ.eyJuYW1lIjoiQWRhIExvdmVsYWNlIiwiaXNzIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jaHJvbm9nZWFycy5jb20vdGVzdCIsImF1ZCI6InRlc3QiLCJhdXRoX3RpbWUiOjEwMCwidXNlcl9pZCI6InVpZDEyMyIsInN1YiI6InNidTEyMyIsImlhdCI6MjAwLCJleHAiOjUwMCwibmJmIjozMDAsImVtYWlsIjoiYWxvdmVsYWNlQGNocm9ub2dlYXJzLmNvbSJ9.eTQnwXrri_uY55fS4IygseBzzbosDM1hP153EZXzNlLH5s29kdlGt2mL_KIjYmQa8hmptt9RwKJHBtw6l4KFHvIcuif86Ix-iI2fCpqNnKyGZfgERV51NXk1THkgWj0GQB6X5cvOoFIdHa9XvgPl_rVmzXSUYDgkhd2t01FOjQeeT6OL2d9KdlQHJqAsvvKVc3wnaYYoSqv2z0IluvK93Tk1dUBU2yWXH34nX3GAVGvIoFoNRiiFfZwFlnz78G0b2fQV7B5g5F8XlNRdD1xmVZXU8X2-xh9LqRpnEakdhecciFHg0u6AyC4c00rlo_HBb69wlXajQ3R4y26Kpxn7HA";

    match key_set.verify(token) {
        Ok(jwt) => {
            println!("name={}", jwt.payload().get_str("name").unwrap());
        }
        Err(Error { msg, typ: _ }) => {
            eprintln!("Could not verify token. Reason: {}", msg);
        }
    }
}

JWKS-Client can be use to simply decode a JWT token without validating the signature.

use jwks_client::keyset::KeyStore;

fn main() {
    let key_store = KeyStore::new();

    let token = "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsImtpZCI6IjEifQ.eyJuYW1lIjoiQWRhIExvdmVsYWNlIiwiaXNzIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jaHJvbm9nZWFycy5jb20vdGVzdCIsImF1ZCI6InRlc3QiLCJhdXRoX3RpbWUiOjEwMCwidXNlcl9pZCI6InVpZDEyMyIsInN1YiI6InNidTEyMyIsImlhdCI6MjAwLCJleHAiOjUwMCwibmJmIjozMDAsImVtYWlsIjoiYWxvdmVsYWNlQGNocm9ub2dlYXJzLmNvbSJ9.eTQnwXrri_uY55fS4IygseBzzbosDM1hP153EZXzNlLH5s29kdlGt2mL_KIjYmQa8hmptt9RwKJHBtw6l4KFHvIcuif86Ix-iI2fCpqNnKyGZfgERV51NXk1THkgWj0GQB6X5cvOoFIdHa9XvgPl_rVmzXSUYDgkhd2t01FOjQeeT6OL2d9KdlQHJqAsvvKVc3wnaYYoSqv2z0IluvK93Tk1dUBU2yWXH34nX3GAVGvIoFoNRiiFfZwFlnz78G0b2fQV7B5g5F8XlNRdD1xmVZXU8X2-xh9LqRpnEakdhecciFHg0u6AyC4c00rlo_HBb69wlXajQ3R4y26Kpxn7HA";

    let jwt = key_store.decode(token).unwrap();

    if jwt.expired().unwrap_or(false) {
        println!("Sorry, token expired")
    } else {
        let result = jwt.payload().get_str("name");

        match result {
            Some(name) => {
                println!("Welcome, {}!", name);
            }
            None => {
                println!("Welcome, anonymous");
            }
        }
    }
}

JWKS-Client offers descriptive error results:

        }
        Err(Error {

        }
    }
}

[^1] JWKS-Client can decode a JWT payload (claims) into a struct:

use serde_derive::Deserialize;

use jwks_client::keyset::KeyStore;

fn main() {
    #[derive(Deserialize)]
    pub struct MyClaims {
        pub iss: String,
        pub name: String,
        pub email: String,
    }

    let url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jfbilodeau/jwks-client/0.1.8/test/test-jwks.json";

    let key_store = KeyStore::new_from(url.to_owned()).unwrap();

    let token = "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsImtpZCI6IjEifQ.eyJuYW1lIjoiQWRhIExvdmVsYWNlIiwiaXNzIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jaHJvbm9nZWFycy5jb20vdGVzdCIsImF1ZCI6InRlc3QiLCJhdXRoX3RpbWUiOjEwMCwidXNlcl9pZCI6InVpZDEyMyIsInN1YiI6InNidTEyMyIsImlhdCI6MjAwLCJleHAiOjUwMCwibmJmIjozMDAsImVtYWlsIjoiYWxvdmVsYWNlQGNocm9ub2dlYXJzLmNvbSJ9.eTQnwXrri_uY55fS4IygseBzzbosDM1hP153EZXzNlLH5s29kdlGt2mL_KIjYmQa8hmptt9RwKJHBtw6l4KFHvIcuif86Ix-iI2fCpqNnKyGZfgERV51NXk1THkgWj0GQB6X5cvOoFIdHa9XvgPl_rVmzXSUYDgkhd2t01FOjQeeT6OL2d9KdlQHJqAsvvKVc3wnaYYoSqv2z0IluvK93Tk1dUBU2yWXH34nX3GAVGvIoFoNRiiFfZwFlnz78G0b2fQV7B5g5F8XlNRdD1xmVZXU8X2-xh9LqRpnEakdhecciFHg0u6AyC4c00rlo_HBb69wlXajQ3R4y26Kpxn7HA";

    let jwt = key_store.decode(token).unwrap();

    let claims = jwt.payload().into::<MyClaims>().unwrap();

    println!("Issuer: {}", claims.iss);
    println!("Name: {}", claims.name);
    println!("Email: {}", claims.email);
}
