https://libwebsockets.org/pipermail/libwebsockets/2019-April/007937.html thanks to Bruce Perens for noting it. This doesn't change the intention or status of the CC0 files, they were pure CC0 before (ie, public domain) and they are pure CC0 now. It just gets rid of the (C) part at the top of the dedication which may be read to be a bit contradictory since the purpose is to make it public domain. |

lws minimal example for JWS
Demonstrates how to sign and verify using compact JWS and JWK, providing a commandline tool for signing and verifying stdin.
build
$ cmake . && make
usage
Stdin is either the plaintext (if signing) or compact JWS (if verifying).
Stdout is either the JWE (if encrypting) or plaintext (if decrypting).
You must pass a private or public key JWK file in the -k option if encrypting, and must pass a private key JWK file in the -k option if decrypting. To be clear, for asymmetric keys the public part of the key is required to encrypt, and the private part required to decrypt.
For convenience, a pair of public and private keys are provided,
key-rsa-4096.private and key-rsa-4096.pub, these were produced with just
$ lws-crypto-jwk -t RSA -b 4096 --public key-rsa-4096.pub >key-rsa-4096.private
Similar keys for EC modes may be produced with
$ lws-crypto-jwk -t EC -v P-256 --public key-ecdh-p-256.pub >key-ecdh-p-256.private
JWSs produced with openssl and mbedtls backends are completely interchangeable.
| Commandline option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| -d | Debug verbosity in decimal, eg, -d15 |
| -s "" | Sign (default is verify), eg, -e "ES256". For verify, the cipher information comes from the input JWS. |
| -k | JWK file to sign or verify with... sign requires the key has its private part |
| -c | Format the JWE as a linebroken C string |
| -f | Output flattened representation (instead of compact by default) |
$ echo -n "plaintext0123456" | ./lws-crypto-jws -s "ES256" -k ec-p256.private

Notice the logging is on stderr, and the output alone on stdout.
When signing, the compact representation of the JWS is output on stdout.
When verifying, if the signature is valid the plaintext is output on stdout and the tool exits with a 0 exit code. Otherwise nothing is output on stdout and it exits with a nonzero exit code.
