Validating Launches

You can use the classes in the IMS::LTI::Models::Messages module to valdiate Launches

For example in a rails app you would do the following

authenticator = IMS::LTI::Services::MessageAuthenticator.new(request.url, request.request_parameters, shared_secret)

#Check if the signature is valid
return false unless authenticator.valid_signature?

# check if `params['oauth_nonce']` has already been used

#check if the message is too old
return false if DateTime.strptime(request.request_parameters['oauth_timestamp'],'%s') < 5.minutes.ago



params = { user_id: '123', lti_message_type: IMS::LTI::Models::Messages::BasicLTILaunchRequest::MESSAGE_TYPE }

header = SimpleOAuth::Header.new(:post, 'https://yoursite.com', params, consumer_key: oauth_consumer_key, consumer_secret: secret)

signed_params = header.signed_attributes.merge(params)

IMS::LTI::Services::MessageAuthenticator.new(launch_url, signed_params, secret)
