PHP-JWT |
| 7 |
======= |
| 8 |
A simple library to encode and decode JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in PHP, conforming to [](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519RFC 7519](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519). |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Installation |
| 11 |
------------ |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Use composer to manage your dependencies and download PHP-JWT: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
```bash |
| 16 |
composer require firebase/php-jwt |
| 17 |
``` |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Optionally, install the `paragonie/sodium_compat` package from composer if your |
| 20 |
php env does not have libsodium installed: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
```bash |
| 23 |
composer require paragonie/sodium_compat |
| 24 |
``` |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
## Example |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
```php |
| 29 |
use Firebase\JWT\JWT; |
| 30 |
use Firebase\JWT\Key; |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
$key = 'example_key_of_sufficient_length'; |
| 33 |
$payload = [ |
| 34 |
'iss' => 'example.org', |
| 35 |
'aud' => 'example.com', |
| 36 |
'iat' => 1356999524, |
| 37 |
'nbf' => 1357000000 |
| 38 |
]; |

``` |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
## Example encode/decode headers |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
Decoding the JWT headers without verifying the JWT first is NOT recommended, and is not supported by |
| 76 |
this library. This is because without verifying the JWT, the header values could have been tampered with. |
| 77 |
Any value pulled from an unverified header should be treated as if it could be any string sent in from an |
| 78 |
attacker. If this is something you still want to do in your application for whatever reason, it's possible to |
| 79 |
decode the header values manually simply by calling `json_decode` and `base64_decode` on the JWT |
| 80 |
header part: |
| 81 |
```php |
| 82 |
use Firebase\JWT\JWT; |
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
$key = 'example_key_of_sufficient_length'; |
| 85 |
$payload = [ |
| 86 |
'iss' => 'example.org', |
| 87 |
'aud' => 'example.com', |
| 88 |
'iat' => 1356999524, |
| 89 |
'nbf' => 1357000000 |
| 90 |
]; |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
$headers = [ |
| 93 |
'x-forwarded-for' => 'www.google.com' |
| 94 |
]; |
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
// Encode headers in the JWT string |
| 97 |
$jwt = JWT::encode($payload, $key, 'HS256', null, $headers); |
| 98 |
|
| 99 |
// Decode headers from the JWT string WITHOUT validation |
| 100 |
// **IMPORTANT**: This operation is vulnerable to attacks, as the JWT has not yet been verified. |
| 101 |
// These headers could be any value sent by an attacker. |
| 102 |
list($headersB64, $payloadB64, $sig) = explode('.', $jwt); |
| 103 |
$decoded = json_decode(base64_decode($headersB64), true); |
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
print_r($decoded); |
| 106 |
``` |
| 107 |

## Example with PS256 |
| 283 |
|
| 284 |
### Note |
| 285 |
PHP's OpenSSL extension does not support RSASSA-PSS signatures (PS256) by default, so we provide support via a soft dependency on the [](https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclibphpseclib/phpseclib](https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib](https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib) library. It is necessary to install this library in your project if you plan to use PS256. |
| 286 |
```bash |
| 287 |
composer install phpseclib/phpseclib:^3.0 |
| 288 |
``` |
| 289 |
|
| 290 |
```php |
| 291 |
use Firebase\JWT\JWT; |
| 292 |
use Firebase\JWT\Key; |
| 293 |
|
| 294 |
$privateRsKey = '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- ...'; |
| 295 |
$publicKey = '-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- ...'; |
| 296 |
|
| 297 |
$payload = [ |
| 298 |
'iss' => 'example.org', |
| 299 |
'aud' => 'example.com', |
| 300 |
'iat' => 1356999524, |
| 301 |
'nbf' => 1357000000 |
| 302 |
]; |
| 303 |
|
| 304 |
/** |
| 305 |
* PS256 support requires phpseclib/phpseclib |
| 306 |
*/ |
| 307 |
$jwt = JWT::encode($payload, $privateRsKey, 'PS256', 'keyid'); |
| 308 |
echo "Encode:\n" . print_r($jwt, true) . "\n"; |
| 309 |
|
| 310 |
$decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, new Key($publicKey, 'PS256')); |
| 311 |
echo "Decode:\n" . print_r((array) $decoded, true) . "\n"; |
| 312 |
``` |
| 313 |
|
| 314 |
## Using JWKs |
| 315 |
|
| 316 |
```php |
| 317 |
use Firebase\JWT\JWK; |
| 318 |
use Firebase\JWT\JWT; |
| 319 |
|
| 320 |
// Set of keys. The "keys" key is required. For example, the JSON response to |
| 321 |
// this endpoint: https://www.gstatic.com/iap/verify/public_key-jwk |
| 322 |
$jwks = ['keys' => []]; |
| 323 |
|
| 324 |
// JWK::parseKeySet($jwks) returns an associative array of **kid** to Firebase\JWT\Key |
| 325 |
// objects. Pass this as the second parameter to JWT::decode. |
| 326 |
$decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, JWK::parseKeySet($jwks)); |
| 327 |
print_r($decoded); |
| 328 |
``` |
| 329 |
|
| 330 |
## Using Cached Key Sets |
| 331 |
|
| 332 |
The `CachedKeySet` class can be used to fetch and cache JWKS (JSON Web Key Sets) from a public URI. |
| 333 |
This has the following advantages: |
| 334 |
|
| 335 |
1. The results are cached for performance. |
| 336 |
2. If an unrecognized key is requested, the cache is refreshed, to accomodate for key rotation. |
| 337 |
3. If rate limiting is enabled, the JWKS URI will not make more than 10 requests a second. |
| 338 |
|
| 339 |
```php |
| 340 |
use Firebase\JWT\CachedKeySet; |
| 341 |
use Firebase\JWT\JWT; |
| 342 |
|
| 343 |
// The URI for the JWKS you wish to cache the results from |
| 344 |
$jwksUri = 'https://www.gstatic.com/iap/verify/public_key-jwk'; |
| 345 |
|
| 346 |
// Create an HTTP client (can be any PSR-7 compatible HTTP client) |
| 347 |
$httpClient = new GuzzleHttp\Client(); |
| 348 |
|
| 349 |
// Create an HTTP request factory (can be any PSR-17 compatible HTTP request factory) |
| 350 |
$httpFactory = new GuzzleHttp\Psr7\HttpFactory(); |
| 351 |
|
| 352 |
// Create a cache item pool (can be any PSR-6 compatible cache item pool) |
| 353 |
$cacheItemPool = Phpfastcache\CacheManager::getInstance('files'); |
| 354 |
|
| 355 |
$keySet = new CachedKeySet( |
| 356 |
$jwksUri, |
| 357 |
$httpClient, |
| 358 |
$httpFactory, |
| 359 |
$cacheItemPool, |
| 360 |
null, // $expiresAfter int seconds to set the JWKS to expire |
| 361 |
true // $rateLimit true to enable rate limit of 10 RPS on lookup of invalid keys |
| 362 |
); |
| 363 |

#### Exception Handling |
| 372 |
|
| 373 |
When a call to `JWT::decode` is invalid, it will throw one of the following exceptions: |
| 374 |
|
| 375 |
```php |
| 376 |
use Firebase\JWT\JWT; |
| 377 |
use Firebase\JWT\SignatureInvalidException; |
| 378 |
use Firebase\JWT\BeforeValidException; |
| 379 |
use Firebase\JWT\ExpiredException; |
| 380 |
use DomainException; |
| 381 |
use InvalidArgumentException; |
| 382 |
use UnexpectedValueException; |
| 383 |
|
| 384 |
try { |
| 385 |
$decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, $keys); |
| 386 |
} catch (InvalidArgumentException $e) { |
| 387 |
// provided key/key-array is empty or malformed. |
| 388 |
} catch (DomainException $e) { |
| 389 |
// provided algorithm is unsupported OR |
| 390 |
// provided key is invalid OR |
| 391 |
// unknown error thrown in openSSL or libsodium OR |
| 392 |
// libsodium is required but not available. |
| 393 |
} catch (SignatureInvalidException $e) { |
| 394 |
// provided JWT signature verification failed. |
| 395 |
} catch (BeforeValidException $e) { |
| 396 |
// provided JWT is trying to be used before "nbf" claim OR |
| 397 |
// provided JWT is trying to be used before "iat" claim. |
| 398 |
} catch (ExpiredException $e) { |
| 399 |
// provided JWT is trying to be used after "exp" claim. |
| 400 |
} catch (UnexpectedValueException $e) { |
| 401 |
// provided JWT is malformed OR |
| 402 |
// provided JWT is missing an algorithm / using an unsupported algorithm OR |
| 403 |
// provided JWT algorithm does not match provided key OR |
| 404 |
// provided key ID in key/key-array is empty or invalid. |
| 405 |
} |
| 406 |
``` |
| 407 |
|
| 408 |
All exceptions in the `Firebase\JWT` namespace extend `UnexpectedValueException`, and can be simplified |
| 409 |
like this: |
| 410 |
|
| 411 |
```php |
| 412 |
use Firebase\JWT\JWT; |
| 413 |
use UnexpectedValueException; |
| 414 |
try { |
| 415 |
$decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, $keys); |
| 416 |
} catch (LogicException $e) { |
| 417 |
// errors having to do with environmental setup or malformed JWT Keys |
| 418 |
} catch (UnexpectedValueException $e) { |
| 419 |
// errors having to do with JWT signature and claims |
| 420 |
} |
| 421 |
``` |
| 422 |
|
| 423 |
#### Casting to array |
| 424 |
|
| 425 |
The return value of `JWT::decode` is the generic PHP object `stdClass`. If you'd like to handle with arrays |
| 426 |
instead, you can do the following: |
| 427 |
|
| 428 |
```php |
| 429 |
// return type is stdClass |
| 430 |
$decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, $keys); |
| 431 |
|
| 432 |
// cast to array |
| 433 |
$decoded = json_decode(json_encode($decoded), true); |
| 434 |
``` |
| 435 |
|
| 436 |
Tests |
| 437 |
----- |
| 438 |
Run the tests using phpunit: |
| 439 |
|
| 440 |
```bash |
| 441 |
$ composer update |
| 442 |
$ vendor/bin/phpunit -c phpunit.xml.dist |
| 443 |
PHPUnit 3.7.10 by Sebastian Bergmann. |

| 446 |
OK (5 tests, 5 assertions) |
| 447 |
``` |
| 448 |
|
| 449 |
New Lines in private keys |
| 450 |
----- |
| 451 |
|
| 452 |
If your private key contains `\n` characters, be sure to wrap it in double quotes `""` |
| 453 |
and not single quotes `''` in order to properly interpret the escaped characters. |
