(CkPython) 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.

pubKey = chilkat.CkPublicKey()

# First verify the signature.
sigVerified = jwt.VerifyJwtPk(token,pubKey)
print("verified: " + str(sigVerified))

# 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
bTimeValid = jwt.IsTimeValid(token,leeway)
print("time constraints valid: " + str(bTimeValid))

# Now let's recover the original claims JSON (the payload).
payload = jwt.getPayload(token)
# The payload will likely be in compact form:
print(payload)

# We can format for human viewing by loading it into Chilkat's JSON object
# and emit.
json = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
success = json.Load(payload)
json.put_EmitCompact(False)
print(json.emit())

# 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)

# We can format for human viewing by loading it into Chilkat's JSON object
# and emit.
success = json.Load(joseHeader)
json.put_EmitCompact(False)
print(json.emit())
