(PHP Extension) Verify JWT Using an ECC Public Key (ES256, ES384, ES512)

Demonstrates how to verify a JWT that was signed using an ECC private key.

This example verifies the ECC 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 claims JSON.

// 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:

// Demonstrates how to verify an JWT using an ECC public key.

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

$pubKey = new CkPublicKey();

// First verify the signature.
$sigVerified = $jwt->VerifyJwtPk($token,$pubKey);
print 'verified: ' . $sigVerified . "\n";

// 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.
$leeway = 60;

// Now let's recover the original claims JSON (the payload).

// The payload will likely be in compact form:

// We can format for human viewing by loading it into Chilkat's JSON object
// and emit.
$json = new CkJsonObject();
$success = $json->Load($payload);
$json->put_EmitCompact(false);
print $json->emit() . "\n";

// We can recover the original JOSE header in the same way:
$joseHeader = $jwt->getHeader($token);
// The payload will likely be in compact form:
print $joseHeader . "\n";

// We can format for human viewing by loading it into Chilkat's JSON object
// and emit.
$success = $json->Load($joseHeader);
