(Xojo Plugin) Create JWT Using Ed25519 Private Key (EdDSA)

See more JSON Web Token (JWT) Examples

Demonstrates how to create a JWT using an Ed25519 private key. If the private key is Ed25519, which is an EdDSA algorithm, the JOSE header's "alg" member should be set to "EdDSA".

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.95 or greater.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

// Demonstrates how to create a JWT using an Ed25519 private key.

Dim privKey As New Chilkat.PrivateKey

// Load an Ed25519 (EdDSA) private key from a PEM file.
Dim success As Boolean
success = privKey.LoadPemFile("qa_data/eddsa/ed25519.pem")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(privKey.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Dim jwt As New Chilkat.Jwt

// Build the JOSE header
Dim jose As New Chilkat.JsonObject

// -----------------------------------------------------------------
// Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.95 or greater.
// -----------------------------------------------------------------
success = jose.AppendString("alg","EdDSA")
success = jose.AppendString("typ","JWT")

// Now build the JWT claims (also known as the payload)
Dim claims As New Chilkat.JsonObject
success = claims.AppendString("iss","http://example.org")
success = claims.AppendString("sub","John")
success = claims.AppendString("aud","http://example.com")

// (optional) Set the timestamp of when the JWT was created to now.
Dim curDateTime As Int32
curDateTime = jwt.GenNumericDate(0)
success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"iat",curDateTime)

// (optional)  Set the "not process before" timestamp to now.
success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"nbf",curDateTime)

// (optional)  Set the timestamp defining an expiration time (end time) for the token
// to be now + 1 hour (3600 seconds)
success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"exp",curDateTime + 3600)

// Produce the smallest possible JWT:
jwt.AutoCompact = True

// Create the JWT token.
Dim token As String
token = jwt.CreateJwtPk(jose.Emit(),claims.Emit(),privKey)

System.DebugLog(token)

// Example output:
