RFC7518: JSON Web Algorithms

This section contains the generic implementation of RFC7518.

Algorithms for JWS

The interface for JWS Algorithms are all inherit from authlib.jose.JWSAlgorithm.

  3. RSA-OAEP-256: RSAES OAEP using SHA-256 and MGF1 with SHA-256

  4. A128KW: AES Key Wrap with default initial value using 128-bit key

  5. A192KW: AES Key Wrap with default initial value using 192-bit key

  6. A256KW: AES Key Wrap with default initial value using 256-bit key

  7. A128GCMKW: Key wrapping with AES GCM using 128-bit key

  8. A192GCMKW: Key wrapping with AES GCM using 192-bit key

  9. A256GCMKW: Key wrapping with AES GCM using 256-bit key

Current available algorithms for enc:

Algorithms for JWK

This section defines the parameters for keys using the algorithms via RFC7518 Section 6. The interface for JWK Algorithms are all inherited from authlib.jose.JWKAlgorithm. The available values of kty:

  1. EC: Elliptic Curve (requires extra crypto backends)

  2. RSA: RSA (requires extra crypto backends)

  3. oct
