Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

A Dart implementation of the JOSE (Javascript Object Signing and Encryption) standards, enabling secure handling of JWE (encrypted data), JWS (signed data), JWK (key management), and JWT (tokens). This library supports cross-platform applications on Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, providing robust cryptographic operations for authentication, authorization, and secure data exchange. It is ideal for developers integrating token-based security into Flutter apps.

Use cases

  • Secure token handling in authentication flows
  • Encrypting sensitive data with JWE
  • Verifying signed tokens with JWS
  • Managing cryptographic keys via JWK
  • Implementing OAuth2 and OpenID Connect
  • Securing API communications

Key features

  • Supports JWE, JWS, JWK, and JWT standards
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Lightweight and efficient
  • Comprehensive cryptographic algorithms
  • Easy integration with Flutter apps
  • Well-documented and actively maintained

Suitable for

  • Flutter developers building secure apps
  • API clients requiring token validation
  • Authentication systems using JWT
  • Applications needing encrypted payloads
  • Developers working with OAuth2/OpenID Connect

Considerations

  • Requires understanding of JOSE standards
  • May need additional dependency management
  • Not suitable for low-level crypto primitives
  • Best used with proper key storage practices
  • Limited to high-level JOSE operations only

Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) library

Supports JSON Web Signature (JWS), JSON Web Encryption (JWE), JSON Web Key (JWK) and JSON Web Token (JWT).

Supported JSON Web Algorithms

This package supports a lot of the algorithms defined in the standards.

Siging algorithms for JWS
  • HS256 HMAC using SHA-256
  • HS384 HMAC using SHA-384
  • HS512 HMAC using SHA-512
  • RS256 RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-256
  • RS384 RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-384
  • RS512 RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-512
  • ES256 ECDSA using P-256 and SHA-256
  • ES256K ECDSA using P-256K and SHA-256
  • ES384 ECDSA using P-384 and SHA-384
  • ES512 ECDSA using P-521 and SHA-512
  • none No digital signature or MAC
Key wrapping algorithms for JWE
  • RSA1_5 RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5
  • RSA-OAEP RSAES OAEP using default parameters
  • RSA-OAEP-256 RSAES OAEP using SHA-256 and MGF1 with SHA-256

Usage

Decode and verify a JWS
main() async {
    var encoded = "eyJhbGciOiJFUzUxMiJ9."
      "UGF5bG9hZA."
      "AdwMgeerwtHoh-l192l60hp9wAHZFVJbLfD_UxMi70cwnZOYaRI1bKPWROc-mZZq"

      "EHwJjyqOgzDO7iKvU8vcnwNrmxYbSW9ERBXukOXolLzeO_Jn";
    
    // create a JsonWebSignature from the encoded string
    var jws = JsonWebSignature.fromCompactSerialization(encoded);
    
    // extract the payload
    var payload = jws.unverifiedPayload;
    
    print("content of jws: ${payload.stringContent}");
    print("protected parameters: ${payload.protectedHeader.toJson()}");
    
    // create a JsonWebKey for verifying the signature
    var jwk = new JsonWebKey.fromJson({
        "kty": "EC",
        "crv": "P-521",
