Module: Linzer::JWS

Defined in:
lib/linzer/jws.rb

Overview

Note:

This module requires the jwt and ed25519 gems.

JSON Web Signature (JWS) compatible key support.

This module provides integration with the jwt gem for working with JWK (JSON Web Key) format keys. It enables interoperability with systems using JWS/JWT standards.

Currently supports:

  • EdDSA (Ed25519)

Examples:

Generating a JWS-compatible EdDSA key

key = Linzer.generate_jws_key(algorithm: "EdDSA")

Importing from JWK format

jwk = {
  "kty" => "OKP",
  "crv" => "Ed25519",
  "x" => "...",
  "d" => "..."  # private key component (optional)
}
key = Linzer.jwk_import(jwk)

Class Method Details

.generate_key(algorithm:) ⇒ JWS::Key

Generates a new JWS-compatible key pair.

Examples:

key = Linzer::JWS.generate_key(algorithm: "EdDSA")

Raises:

  • (Error) —

    If the algorithm is not supported

  case String(algorithm)
  when "EdDSA"
    ed25519_keypair = ::Ed25519::SigningKey.generate
    material = JWT::JWK.new(ed25519_keypair)
    Linzer::JWS::Key.new(material)
  else
    err_msg = "Algorithm '#{algorithm}' is unsupported or not implemented yet."
    raise Linzer::Error, err_msg
  end
end

.jwk_import(key, params = {}) ⇒ JWS::Key

Imports a key from JWK (JSON Web Key) format.

Examples:

jwk = JSON.parse(File.read("key.jwk"))
key = Linzer::JWS.jwk_import(jwk, id: "my-key-id")

Options Hash (params):

  • :id (String) —

    Key identifier (overrides JWK “kid” if present)

Raises:

  • (Error) —

    If the JWK format is invalid or algorithm unsupported
