(Xojo Plugin) Validate the at_hash Claim of an ID Token

Demonstrates how to hash an access token to compare it with the at_hash claim of an ID token.

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

// This example uses a Google access_token + id_token that looks like this:

//  {
//   "access_token": "ya29.a0...0f",
//   "expires_in": 3599,
//   "scope": "openid https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email",
//   "token_type": "Bearer",
//   "id_token": "eyJhb...o5nQ"
// }

Dim jsonToken As New Chilkat.JsonObject
Dim success As Boolean
success = jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/google_sample_id_token.json")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog("Failed to load the JSON file...")
    Return
End If

// Use Chilkat's JWT API to examine the id_token..
Dim jwt As New Chilkat.Jwt
Dim idToken As String
idToken = jsonToken.StringOf("id_token")

// Extract the JOSE header..
Dim jose As String
jose = jwt.GetHeader(idToken)

Dim jsonHeader As New Chilkat.JsonObject
success = jsonHeader.Load(jose)
jsonHeader.EmitCompact = False
System.DebugLog(jsonHeader.Emit())

// The JOSE header looks like this:

// {
//   "alg": "RS256",
//   "kid": "e8799db06287515556213c80acbcfd022fb302a9",
//   "typ": "JWT"
// }

Dim claims As String
claims = jwt.GetPayload(idToken)

Dim jsonClaims As New Chilkat.JsonObject
success = jsonClaims.Load(claims)
jsonClaims.EmitCompact = False
System.DebugLog(jsonClaims.Emit())

// The claims look like this:

// {
//   "iss": "https://accounts.google.com",
//   "azp": "258999997753-5ni8lu5f15r7mno97d82f5lir9i9f6i1.apps.googleusercontent.com",
//   "aud": "258999997753-5ni8lu5f15r7mno97d82f5lir9i9f6i1.apps.googleusercontent.com",
//   "sub": "111787341816486547572",
//   "email": "somebody@gmail.com",
//   "email_verified": true,
//   "at_hash": "HYJZImlW3mUK-UfjRfXjKw",
//   "iat": 1615315968,
//   "exp": 1615319568
// }

// The at_hash is the Access Token hash value. Its value is the base64url encoding of the
// left-most half of the hash of the octets of the ASCII representation of the access_token value,
// where the hash algorithm used is the hash algorithm used in the alg Header Parameter of the
// ID Token's JOSE Header. For instance, if the alg is RS256, hash the access_token value with SHA-256,
// then take the left-most 128 bits and base64url encode them. The at_hash value is a case sensitive string.
