Chilkat2-Python

Verify JWT with EdDSA / Ed25519 Signature

See more JSON Web Token (JWT) Examples

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.84 or greater.

Demonstrates how to verify a JWT that was signed using an Ed25519 private key.

This example verifies the EdDSA signature. It also does the following:

• Checks to see if the time constraints ("nbf" and "exp") are valid.
• Recovers the original JOSE header.
• Recovers the original data.

# Let's see if the time constraints, if any, are valid.
# The above JWT was created on the afternoon of 16-May-2016, with an expiration of 1 hour.
# If the current system time is before the "nbf" time, or after the "exp" time,
# then IsTimeValid will return false/0.
# Also, we'll allow a leeway of 60 seconds to account for any clock skew.
# Note: If the token has no "nbf" or "exp" claim fields, then IsTimeValid is always true.
