Get RSA Public Key in JWK Format (JSON Web Key)

See more JSON Web Signatures (JWS) Examples

Demonstrates how to get an RSA public key in JWK (JSON Web Key) format.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or later.

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

# Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or later.

# Load a PEM file into memory.
sbPem = chilkat2.StringBuilder()
success = sbPem.LoadFile("qa_data/pem/rsa_public.pem","utf-8")
if (success != True):
    print("Failed to load PEM file.")
    sys.exit()

# Load the PEM into a public key object.
pubKey = chilkat2.PublicKey()
success = pubKey.LoadFromString(sbPem.GetAsString())
if (success != True):
    print(pubKey.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Get the public key in JWK format:
jwk = pubKey.GetJwk()

# The GetJwk method will return the JWK in the most compact JSON format possible,
# as a single line with no extra whitespace.  To get a more human-readable JWK (for this example),
# load into a Chilkat JSON object and emit non-compact:

json = chilkat2.JsonObject()
json.Load(jwk)
json.EmitCompact = False
print("RSA Public Key in JWK format:")
print(json.Emit())

# Sample output:
# { 
#   "kty": "RSA",
#   "n": "33TqqLR3eeUmDtHS89qF3p4MP7Wfqt2Zjj3lZjLjjCGDvwr9cJNlNDiuKboODgUiT4ZdPWbOiMAfDcDzlOxA04DDnEFGAf-kDQiNSe2ZtqC7bnIc8-KSG_qOGQIVaay4Ucr6ovDkykO5Hxn7OU7sJp9TP9H0JH8zMQA6YzijYH9LsupTerrY3U6zyihVEDXXOv08vBHk50BMFJbE9iwFwnxCsU5-UZUZYw87Uu0n4LPFS9BT8tUIvAfnRXIEWCha3KbFWmdZQZlyrFw0buUEf0YN3_Q0auBkdbDR_ES2PbgKTJdkjc_rEeM0TxvOUf7HuUNOhrtAVEN1D5uuxE1WSw",

# Additional information can be added like this:

json.AppendString("kid","123ABC")
