AppIdentity for Ruby

Description

AppIdentity is a Ruby implementation of the Kinetic Commerce application identity proof algorithm as described in its spec.

Synopsis

app = AppIdentity::App.new(id: id, secret: secret, version: 2)
proof = AppIdentity.generate_proof!(app)
AppIdentity.verify_proof!(proof, app)

In a Rails application, proof verification would use AppIdentity::RackMiddleware.

require 'app_identity/rack_middleware'

config.middleware.use AppIdentity::RackMiddleware,
  header: "app-identity-proof",
  finder: ->(proof) { IdentityApplication.find(proof[:id]) }

There is a Faraday Middleware for providing proof generation for clients.

Faraday.new(url: url) do |conn|
  conn.request :app_identity, app: app,
    header: 'app-proof-identity'
end

Installation

Add app_identity to your Gemfile:

gem 'app_identity', '~> 1.1'

Semantic Versioning

AppIdentity uses a Semantic Versioning scheme with one significant change:

• When PATCH is zero (0), it will be omitted from version references.

Additionally, the major version will generally be reserved for specification revisions.
