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.

* Demonstrates how to verify a JWT with an EdDSA/Ed25519 Signature
* *** Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.84 or greater.

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

* Use this Ed25519 public key for verification

* First verify the signature.
lnSigVerified = loJwt.VerifyJwtPk(lcToken,loPubKey)

* 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.
lnLeeway = 60
lnBTimeValid = loJwt.IsTimeValid(lcToken,lnLeeway)
? "time constraints valid: " + STR(lnBTimeValid)

* Recover the original data (the payload).
lcPayload = loJwt.GetPayload(lcToken)
? lcPayload

* Recover the original JOSE header in the same way:
lcJoseHeader = loJwt.GetHeader(lcToken)
? lcJoseHeader
