(PHP Extension) JWS Using HMAC SHA-256

Creates a JSON Web Signatures (JWS) using HMAC SHA-256.

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

Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

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

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

// First create the JWS Protected Header
$jwsProtHdr = new CkJsonObject();
$jwsProtHdr->AppendString('typ','JWT');
$jwsProtHdr->AppendString('alg','HS256');
print 'JWS Protected Header: ' . $jwsProtHdr->emit() . "\n";

// Output:
// JWS Protected Header: {"typ":"JWT","alg":"HS256"}

$jws = new CkJws();

// Set the HMAC key:
$hmacKey = 'AyM1SysPpbyDfgZld3umj1qzKObwVMkoqQ-EstJQLr_T-1qS0gZH75aKtMN3Yj0iPS4hcgUuTwjAzZr1Z9CAow';
$signatureIndex = 0;
$jws->SetMacKey($signatureIndex,$hmacKey,'base64url');

// Set the protected header:

// Set the payload.
$bIncludeBom = false;
$payloadStr = 'In our village, folks say God crumbles up the old moon into stars.';
$jws->SetPayload($payloadStr,'utf-8',$bIncludeBom);

// Create the JWS
// By default, the compact serialization is used.
$jwsCompact = $jws->createJws();

print 'JWS: ' . $jwsCompact . "\n";

// sample output:

// Now load the JWS, validate, and recover the original text.

// Set the MAC key used for validation.

// Validate the 1st (and only) signature at index 0..

    print 'Method call failed for some other reason.' . "\n";

// If we get here, the signature was validated..
print 'Signature validated.' . "\n";

// Recover the original content:
print $jws2->getPayload('utf-8') . "\n";

// Examine the protected header:
// joseHeader is a CkJsonObject
$joseHeader = $jws2->GetProtectedHeader($signatureIndex);

// Output:

// 	Signature validated.
// 	In our village, folks say God crumbles up the old moon into stars.
// 	Protected (JOSE) header:
