1.  Introduction

   The JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) technologies -- JSON
   Web Signature [JWS], JSON Web Encryption [JWE], JSON Web Key [JWK],
   and JSON Web Algorithms [JWA] -- can be used collectively 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.

   This document provides a number of examples of signing or encrypting
   content using JOSE.  While not exhaustive, it does compile a
   representative sampling of JOSE features.  As much as possible, the
   same signature payload or encryption plaintext content is used to
   illustrate differences in various signing and encryption results.

   This document also provides a number of example JWK objects.  These
   examples illustrate the distinguishing properties of various key
   types and emphasize important characteristics.  Most of the JWK
   examples are then used in the signature or encryption examples that
   follow.

   All of the examples contained herein are available in a machine-
   readable format at <https://github.com/ietf-jose/cookbook>.

1.1.  Conventions Used in This Document

   This document separates data that are expected to be input to an
   implementation of JOSE from data that are expected to be generated by
   an implementation of JOSE.  Each example, wherever possible, provides
   enough information both to replicate the results of this document and
   to validate the results by running its inverse operation (e.g.,
   signature results can be validated by performing the JWS verify).
   However, some algorithms inherently use random data; therefore,
   computations employing them cannot be exactly replicated.  Such cases
   are explicitly stated in the relevant sections.

   All instances of binary octet strings are represented using base64url
   [RFC4648] encoding.

   Wherever possible and unless otherwise noted, the examples include
   the JWS or JWE Compact Serialization, general JWS or JWE JSON
   Serialization, and flattened JWS or JWE JSON Serialization.

   All of the examples in this document have whitespace added to improve
   formatting and readability.  Except for JWE Plaintext or JWS Payload
   content, whitespace is not part of the cryptographic operations nor
   the exchange results.

RFC 7520                      JOSE Cookbook                     May 2015


   Unless otherwise noted, the JWE Plaintext or JWS Payload content does
   include " " (U+0020 SPACE) characters.  Line breaks (U+000A LINE
   FEED) replace some " " (U+0020 SPACE) characters to improve
   readability but are not present in the JWE Plaintext or JWS Payload.

2.  Terminology

   This document inherits terminology regarding JSON Web Signature (JWS)
   technology from [JWS], terminology regarding JSON Web Encryption
   (JWE) technology from [JWE], terminology regarding JSON Web Key (JWK)
   technology from [JWK], and terminology regarding algorithms from
   [JWA].

3.  JSON Web Key Examples

   The following sections demonstrate how to represent various JWK and
   JWK Set objects.

3.1.  EC Public Key

   This example illustrates an Elliptic Curve (EC) public key.  This
   example is the public key corresponding to the private key in
   Figure 2.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

         SsUdaQkAgDPrwQrJmbnX9cwlGfP-HqHZR1"
   }

                 Figure 1: Elliptic Curve P-521 Public Key

   The field "kty" value of "EC" identifies this as an Elliptic Curve
   key.  The field "crv" identifies the curve, which is curve P-521 for
   this example.  The values of the fields "x" and "y" are the
   base64url-encoded X and Y coordinates (respectively).







Miller                        Informational                     [Page 6]

RFC 7520                      JOSE Cookbook                     May 2015


   The values of the fields "x" and "y" decoded are the octets necessary
   to represent each full coordinate to the order of the curve.  For a
   key over curve P-521, the values of the fields "x" and "y" are
   exactly 66 octets in length when decoded, padded with leading zero
   (0x00) octets to reach the expected length.

3.2.  EC Private Key

   This example illustrates an Elliptic Curve private key.  This example
   is the private key corresponding to the public key in Figure 1.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

   {
     "kty": "EC",
     "kid": "bilbo.baggins@hobbiton.example",
     "use": "sig",
     "crv": "P-521",
     "x": "AHKZLLOsCOzz5cY97ewNUajB957y-C-U88c3v13nmGZx6sYl_oJXu9
         A5RkTKqjqvjyekWF-7ytDyRXYgCF5cj0Kt",
     "y": "AdymlHvOiLxXkEhayXQnNCvDX4h9htZaCJN34kfmC6pV5OhQHiraVy

     "d": "AAhRON2r9cqXX1hg-RoI6R1tX5p2rUAYdmpHZoC1XNM56KtscrX6zb
         KipQrCW9CGZH3T4ubpnoTKLDYJ_fF3_rJt"
   }

                Figure 2: Elliptic Curve P-521 Private Key

   The field "kty" value of "EC" identifies this as an Elliptic Curve
   key.  The field "crv" identifies the curve, which is curve P-521
   (also known as SECG curve secp521r1) for this example.  The values of
   the fields "x" and "y" are the base64url-encoded X and Y coordinates
   (respectively).  The field "d" value is the base64url-encoded private
   key.

   The values of the fields "d", "x", and "y" decoded are the octets
   necessary to represent the private key or each full coordinate
   (respectively) to the order of the curve.  For a key over curve
   P-521, the values of the "d", "x", and "y" fields are each exactly 66
   octets in length when decoded, padded with leading zero (0x00) octets
   to reach the expected length.

3.3.  RSA Public Key

   This example illustrates an RSA public key.  This example is the
   public key corresponding to the private key in Figure 4.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

     "e": "AQAB"
   }

                     Figure 3: RSA 2048-Bit Public Key

   The field "kty" value of "RSA" identifies this as an RSA key.  The
   fields "n" and "e" values are the modulus and (public) exponent
   (respectively) using the minimum octets necessary.

   For a 2048-bit key, the field "n" value is 256 octets in length when
   decoded.

3.4.  RSA Private Key

   This example illustrates an RSA private key.  This example is the
   private key corresponding to the public key in Figure 3.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

   The field "kty" value of "RSA" identifies this as an RSA key.  The
   fields "n" and "e" values are the base64url-encoded modulus and
   (public) exponent (respectively) using the minimum number of octets
   necessary.  The field "d" value is the base64url-encoded private
   exponent using the minimum number of octets necessary.  The fields
   "p", "q", "dp", "dq", and "qi" are the base64url-encoded additional
   private information using the minimum number of octets necessary.

   For a 2048-bit key, the field "n" is 256 octets in length when
   decoded, and the field "d" is not longer than 256 octets in length
   when decoded.

3.5.  Symmetric Key (MAC Computation)

   This example illustrates a symmetric key used for computing Message
   Authentication Codes (MACs).

4.  JSON Web Signature Examples

   The following sections demonstrate how to generate various JWS
   objects.

   All of the signature examples use the following payload content (an
   abridged quote from "The Fellowship of the Ring" [LOTR-FELLOWSHIP]),
   serialized as UTF-8.  The payload is presented here as a series of
   quoted strings that are concatenated to produce the JWS Payload.  The
   sequence "\xe2\x80\x99" is substituted for (U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE
   QUOTATION MARK), and quotation marks (U+0022 QUOTATION MARK) are
   added for readability but are not present in the JWS Payload.

   "It\xe2\x80\x99s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your "
   "door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, "
   "there\xe2\x80\x99s no knowing where you might be swept off "
   "to."

4.3.  ECDSA Signature

   This example illustrates signing content using the "ES512" (Elliptic
   Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) with curve P-521 and SHA-
   512) algorithm.

   Note that ECDSA uses random data to generate the signature; it might
   not be possible to exactly replicate the results in this section.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

4.3.1.  Input Factors

   The following are supplied before beginning the signing operation:

   o  Payload content; this example uses the content from Figure 7,
      encoded using base64url [RFC4648] to produce Figure 8.

   o  EC private key on the curve P-521; this example uses the key from
      Figure 2.

   o  "alg" parameter of "ES512".

4.3.2.  Signing Operation

   The following is generated before beginning the signature process:

   o  JWS Protected Header; this example uses the header from Figure 23,
      encoded using base64url [RFC4648] to produce Figure 24.

   {
     "alg": "ES512",
     "kid": "bilbo.baggins@hobbiton.example"

   This example illustrates a signature with detached content.  This
   example is identical to other examples in Section 4, except the
   resulting JWS objects do not include the JWS Payload field.  Instead,
   the application is expected to locate it elsewhere.  For example, the
   signature might be in a metadata section, with the payload being the
   content.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

4.6.  Protecting Specific Header Fields

   This example illustrates a signature where only certain Header
   Parameters are protected.  Since this example contains both
   unprotected and protected Header Parameters, only the general JWS
   JSON Serialization and flattened JWS JSON Serialization are possible.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

4.6.1.  Input Factors

   The following are supplied before beginning the signing operation:

   o  Payload content; this example uses the content from Figure 7,
      encoded using base64url [RFC4648] to produce Figure 8.

   o  Signing key; this example uses the AES symmetric key from
      Figure 5.

   o  Signing algorithm; this example uses "HS256".

4.6.2.  Signing Operation

   The following are generated before completing the signing operation:

   o  JWS Protected Header; this example uses the header from Figure 44,
      encoded using base64url [RFC4648] to produce Figure 45.

   o  JWS Unprotected Header; this example uses the header from
      Figure 46.

5.  JSON Web Encryption Examples

   The following sections demonstrate how to generate various JWE
   objects.

   All of the encryption examples (unless otherwise noted) use the
   following Plaintext content (an abridged quote from "The Fellowship
   of the Ring" [LOTR-FELLOWSHIP]), serialized as UTF-8.  The Plaintext
   is presented here as a series of quoted strings that are concatenated
   to produce the JWE Plaintext.  The sequence "\xe2\x80\x93" is
   substituted for (U+2013 EN DASH), and quotation marks (U+0022
   QUOTATION MARK) are added for readability but are not present in the
   JWE Plaintext.

   "You can trust us to stick with you through thick and "
   "thin\xe2\x80\x93to the bitter end. And you can trust us to "
   "keep any secret of yours\xe2\x80\x93closer than you keep it "
   "yourself. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble "
   "alone, and go off without a word. We are your friends, Frodo."

                       Figure 72: Plaintext Content

5.1.  Key Encryption Using RSA v1.5 and AES-HMAC-SHA2

   This example illustrates encrypting content using the "RSA1_5"
   (RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5) key encryption algorithm and the "A128CBC-HS256"
   (AES-128-CBC-HMAC-SHA-256) content encryption algorithm.

   Note that RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 uses random data to generate the
   ciphertext; it might not be possible to exactly replicate the results
   in this section.

   Note that only the RSA public key is necessary to perform the
   encryption.  However, the example includes the RSA private key to
   allow readers to validate the output.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

5.1.1.  Input Factors

   The following are supplied before beginning the encryption process:

   o  Plaintext content; this example uses the content from Figure 72.

   o  RSA public key; this example uses the key from Figure 73.

   (NOTE: While the key includes the private parameters, only the public
   parameters "e" and "n" are necessary for the encryption operation.)

5.1.2.  Generated Factors

   The following are generated before encrypting:

   o  AES symmetric key as the Content Encryption Key (CEK); this
      example uses the key from Figure 74.

   o  Initialization Vector; this example uses the Initialization Vector
      from Figure 75.

5.1.4.  Encrypting the Content

   The following is generated before encrypting the Plaintext:

   o  JWE Protected Header; this example uses the header from Figure 77,
      encoded using base64url [RFC4648] to produce Figure 78.

   {
     "alg": "RSA1_5",
     "kid": "frodo.baggins@hobbiton.example",

5.2.  Key Encryption Using RSA-OAEP with AES-GCM

   This example illustrates encrypting content using the "RSA-OAEP"
   (RSAES-OAEP) key encryption algorithm and the "A256GCM" (AES-GCM)
   content encryption algorithm.

   Note that RSAES-OAEP uses random data to generate the ciphertext; it
   might not be possible to exactly replicate the results in this
   section.

   Note that only the RSA public key is necessary to perform the
   encryption.  However, the example includes the RSA private key to
   allow readers to validate the output.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

5.3.  Key Wrap Using PBES2-AES-KeyWrap with AES-CBC-HMAC-SHA2

   The example illustrates encrypting content using the
   "PBES2-HS512+A256KW" (PBES2 Password-based Encryption using HMAC-
   SHA-512 and AES-256-KeyWrap) key encryption algorithm with the
   "A128CBC-HS256" (AES-128-CBC-HMAC-SHA-256) content encryption
   algorithm.

   A common use of password-based encryption is the import/export of
   keys.  Therefore, this example uses a JWK Set for the Plaintext
   content instead of the Plaintext from Figure 72.

RFC 7520                      JOSE Cookbook                     May 2015


   Note that if password-based encryption is used for multiple
   recipients, it is expected that each recipient use different values
   for the PBES2 parameters "p2s" and "p2c".

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

5.3.1.  Input Factors

   The following are supplied before beginning the encryption process:

   o  Plaintext content; this example uses the Plaintext from Figure 95
      (NOTE: All whitespace was added for readability).

   o  Password; this example uses the password from Figure 96 -- with
      the sequence "\xe2\x80\x93" replaced with (U+2013 EN DASH).

   o  "alg" parameter of "PBES2-HS512+A256KW".

   o  "enc" parameter of "A128CBC-HS256".

5.4.  Key Agreement with Key Wrapping Using ECDH-ES and AES-KeyWrap with
      AES-GCM

   This example illustrates encrypting content using the "ECDH-
   ES+A128KW" (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral-Static with AES-
   128-KeyWrap) key encryption algorithm and the "A128GCM" (AES-GCM)
   content encryption algorithm.

   Note that only the EC public key is necessary to perform the key
   agreement.  However, the example includes the EC private key to allow
   readers to validate the output.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

   The following are supplied before beginning the encryption process:

   o  Plaintext content; this example uses the content from Figure 72.

   o  EC public key; this example uses the public key from Figure 108.

5.5.  Key Agreement Using ECDH-ES with AES-CBC-HMAC-SHA2

   This example illustrates encrypting content using the "ECDH-ES"
   (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral-Static) key agreement
   algorithm and the "A128CBC-HS256" (AES-128-CBC-HMAC-SHA-256) content
   encryption algorithm.

   Note that only the EC public key is necessary to perform the key
   agreement.  However, the example includes the EC private key to allow
   readers to validate the output.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

5.5.1.  Input Factors

   The following are supplied before beginning the encryption process:

   o  Plaintext content; this example uses the content from Figure 72.

   o  EC public key; this example uses the public key from Figure 120.

   o  "alg" parameter of "ECDH-ES".

   o  "enc" parameter of "A128CBC-HS256".

   (NOTE: While the key includes the private parameters, only the public
   parameters "crv", "x", and "y" are necessary for the encryption
   operation.)

5.5.2.  Generated Factors

   The following is generated before encrypting:

   o  Initialization Vector; this example uses the Initialization Vector
      from Figure 121.

   NOTE: The Content Encryption Key (CEK) is not randomly generated;
   instead, it is determined using ECDH-ES key agreement.

5.9.  Compressed Content

   This example illustrates encrypting content that is first compressed.
   It reuses the AES symmetric key, key encryption algorithm, and
   content encryption algorithm from Section 5.8.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

5.9.1.  Input Factors

   The following are supplied before beginning the encryption process:

   o  Plaintext content; this example uses the content from Figure 72.

   o  Recipient encryption key; this example uses the key from
      Figure 151.

   o  Key encryption algorithm; this example uses "A128KW".

   o  Content encryption algorithm; this example uses "A128GCM".

   o  "zip" parameter of "DEF".

5.9.2.  Generated Factors

   The following are generated before encrypting:

   o  Compressed Plaintext from the original Plaintext content;
      compressing Figure 72 using the DEFLATE [RFC1951] algorithm
      produces the compressed Plaintext from Figure 162.

   o  AES symmetric key as the Content Encryption Key (CEK); this
      example uses the key from Figure 163.

   o  Initialization Vector; this example uses the Initialization Vector
      from Figure 164.

5.11.  Protecting Specific Header Fields

   This example illustrates encrypting content where only certain JOSE
   Header Parameters are protected.  As this example includes parameters
   in the JWE Shared Unprotected Header, only the general JWE JSON
   Serialization and flattened JWE JSON Serialization are possible.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

5.11.1.  Input Factors

   The following are supplied before beginning the encryption process:

   o  Plaintext content; this example uses the content from Figure 72.

   o  Recipient encryption key; this example uses the key from
      Figure 151.

   o  Key encryption algorithm; this example uses "A128KW".

   o  Content encryption algorithm; this example uses "A128GCM".

5.13.  Encrypting to Multiple Recipients

   This example illustrates encryption content for multiple recipients.
   As this example has multiple recipients, only the general JWE JSON
   Serialization is possible.

   Note that RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 uses random data to generate the
   ciphertext; it might not be possible to exactly replicate the results
   in this section.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

5.13.1.  Input Factors

   The following are supplied before beginning the encryption process:

   o  Plaintext content; this example uses the Plaintext from Figure 72.

   o  Recipient keys; this example uses the following:

      *  The RSA public key from Figure 73 for the first recipient.

      *  The EC public key from Figure 108 for the second recipient.

      *  The AES symmetric key from Figure 138 for the third recipient.

   o  Key encryption algorithms; this example uses the following:

      *  "RSA1_5" for the first recipient.

      *  "ECDH-ES+A256KW" for the second recipient.

      *  "A256GCMKW" for the third recipient.

   o  Content encryption algorithm; this example uses "A128CBC-HS256".

5.13.2.  Generated Factors

   The following are generated before encrypting:

   o  AES symmetric key as the Content Encryption Key (CEK); this
      example uses the key from Figure 202.

   o  Initialization Vector; this example uses the Initialization Vector
      from Figure 203.

6.  Nesting Signatures and Encryption

   This example illustrates nesting a JSON Web Signature (JWS) structure
   within a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) structure.  The signature uses the
   "PS256" (RSASSA-PSS) algorithm; the encryption uses the "RSA-OAEP"
   (RSAES-OAEP) key encryption algorithm and the "A128GCM" (AES-GCM)
   content encryption algorithm.

   Note that RSASSA-PSS uses random data to generate the signature, and
   RSAES-OAEP uses random data to generate the ciphertext; it might not
   be possible to exactly replicate the results in this section.

   Note that whitespace is added for readability as described in
   Section 1.1.

6.1.  Signing Input Factors

   The following are supplied before beginning the signing operation:

   o  Payload content; this example uses the JSON Web Token [JWT]
      content from Figure 222, encoded as base64url [RFC4648] to produce
      Figure 223.

   o  RSA private key; this example uses the key from Figure 224.

   o  "alg" parameter of "PS256".

   o  JWS Protected Header; this example uses the header from
      Figure 225, encoded using base64url [RFC4648] to produce
      Figure 226.

   {
     "alg": "PS256",
     "typ": "JWT"

7.  Security Considerations

   This document is designed to provide examples for developers to use
   in checking their implementations.  As such, it does not follow some
   of the security considerations and recommendations in the core
   documents (i.e., [JWS], [JWE], [JWK], and [JWA]).  For instance:

   o  it does not always generate a new CEK value for every encrypted
      example;

   o  it does not always generate a new Initialization Vector (IV) value
      for every encrypted example; and

   o  it does not always generate a new ephemeral key for every
      ephemeral key example.

   For each example, data that is expected to be generated for each
   signing or encryption operation is isolated to sections titled
   "Generated Factors".
