# JOSE CLI
|
|
|
|
The `jose-util` command line utility allows for encryption, decryption, signing
|
|
and verification of JOSE messages. Its main purpose is to facilitate dealing
|
|
with JOSE messages when testing or debugging.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
The utility includes the subcommands `encrypt`, `decrypt`, `sign`, `verify` and
|
|
`expand`. Examples for each command can be found below.
|
|
|
|
Algorithms are selected via the `--alg` and `--enc` flags, which influence the
|
|
`alg` and `enc` headers in respectively. For JWE, `--alg` specifies the key
|
|
managment algorithm (e.g. `RSA-OAEP`) and `--enc` specifies the content
|
|
encryption algorithm (e.g. `A128GCM`). For JWS, `--alg` specifies the
|
|
signature algorithm (e.g. `PS256`).
|
|
|
|
Input and output files can be specified via the `--in` and `--out` flags.
|
|
Either flag can be omitted, in which case `jose-util` uses stdin/stdout for
|
|
input/output respectively. By default each command will output a compact
|
|
message, but it's possible to get the full serialization by supplying the
|
|
`--full` flag.
|
|
|
|
Keys are specified via the `--key` flag. Supported key types are naked RSA/EC
|
|
keys and X.509 certificates with embedded RSA/EC keys. Keys must be in PEM
|
|
or DER formats.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### Encrypt
|
|
|
|
Takes a plaintext as input, encrypts, and prints the encrypted message.
|
|
|
|
jose-util encrypt -k public-key.pem --alg RSA-OAEP --enc A128GCM
|
|
|
|
### Decrypt
|
|
|
|
Takes an encrypted message (JWE) as input, decrypts, and prints the plaintext.
|
|
|
|
jose-util decrypt -k private-key.pem
|
|
|
|
### Sign
|
|
|
|
Takes a payload as input, signs it, and prints the signed message with the embedded payload.
|
|
|
|
jose-util sign -k private-key.pem --alg PS256
|
|
|
|
### Verify
|
|
|
|
Reads a signed message (JWS), verifies it, and extracts the payload.
|
|
|
|
jose-util verify -k public-key.pem
|
|
|
|
### Expand
|
|
|
|
Expands a compact message to the full serialization format.
|
|
|
|
jose-util expand --format JWE # Expands a compact JWE to full format
|
|
jose-util expand --format JWS # Expands a compact JWS to full format
|
