Create JWT Using Ed25519 Private Key (EdDSA)

See more JSON Web Token (JWT) Examples

Demonstrates how to create a JWT using an Ed25519 private key. If the private key is Ed25519, which is an EdDSA algorithm, the JOSE header's "alg" member should be set to "EdDSA".

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.95 or greater.

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    //  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  Demonstrates how to create a JWT using an Ed25519 private key.

    CkPrivateKey privKey;

    //  Load an Ed25519 (EdDSA) private key from a PEM file.
    success = privKey.LoadPemFile("qa_data/eddsa/ed25519.pem");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << privKey.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    CkJwt jwt;

    //  Build the JOSE header
    CkJsonObject jose;

    //  -----------------------------------------------------------------
    //  Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.95 or greater.
    //  -----------------------------------------------------------------
    success = jose.AppendString("alg","EdDSA");
    success = jose.AppendString("typ","JWT");

    //  Now build the JWT claims (also known as the payload)
    CkJsonObject claims;
    success = claims.AppendString("iss","http://example.org");
    success = claims.AppendString("sub","John");
    success = claims.AppendString("aud","http://example.com");

    //  (optional) Set the timestamp of when the JWT was created to now.
    int curDateTime = jwt.GenNumericDate(0);
    success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"iat",curDateTime);

    //  (optional)  Set the "not process before" timestamp to now.
    success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"nbf",curDateTime);

    //  (optional)  Set the timestamp defining an expiration time (end time) for the token
    //  to be now + 1 hour (3600 seconds)
    success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"exp",curDateTime + 3600);

    //  Produce the smallest possible JWT:
    jwt.put_AutoCompact(true);

    //  Create the JWT token.
    const char *token = jwt.createJwtPk(jose.emit(),claims.emit(),privKey);

    std::cout << token << "\r\n";
