Compute JWK Thumbprint for RSA and EC Public Keys

See more ECC Examples

Demonstrates how to compute a JSON Web Key thumbprint for a public key (RSA or ECC).

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

Go

    success := false

    pubKey := chilkat.NewPublicKey()

    // A public key can be loaded from any format (binary DER, PEM, etc.)
    // This example will load the public keys from JWK format, 
    // and will then compute the JWK thumbprint.

    // First do it for an RSA public key...

    sb := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    sb.Append("{")
    sb.Append("\"kty\": \"RSA\",")
    sb.Append("\"n\": \"0vx7agoebGcQSuuPiLJXZptN9nndrQmbXEps2aiAFbWhM78LhWx4cbbfAAt")

    sb.Append("\"kid\": \"2011-04-29\"")
    sb.Append("}")

    // The JWK format is automatically detected..
    success = pubKey.LoadFromString(*sb.GetAsString())
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(pubKey.LastErrorText())
        pubKey.DisposePublicKey()
        sb.DisposeStringBuilder()
        return
    }

    // Get the JWK thumbprint (using SHA256)
    fmt.Println("JWK thumbprint: ", *pubKey.GetJwkThumbprint("SHA256"))

    // Output:
    // JWK thumbprint: NzbLsXh8uDCcd-6MNwXF4W_7noWXFZAfHkxZsRGC9Xs

    // Now let's do an EC public key:

    sb.Append("{ ")

    success = pubKey.LoadFromString(*sb.GetAsString())
    if success != true {
