jose-swift
Welcome to the jose-swift library documentation. The jose-swift library provides comprehensive support for JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) standards, including JSON Web Token (JWT), JSON Web Signature (JWS), and JSON Web Encryption (JWE). This library enables developers to create, sign, verify, and encrypt JWTs with ease.

Overview
The jose-swift library is designed to be a flexible and powerful tool for handling JSON-based security tokens. It supports a wide range of cryptographic algorithms and provides a robust API for managing keys and claims.
Key Features
JWT Creation and Verification: Easily create and verify JSON Web Tokens.
JWS Support: Sign and verify tokens using JSON Web Signatures.
JWE Support: Encrypt and decrypt tokens using JSON Web Encryption.
Custom Claims: Define and validate custom claims for your tokens.
Key Management: Generate, wrap, and unwrap keys securely.
DSL for Claims: Use a domain-specific language to define claims succinctly.
Getting Started
Getting Started with jose-swift
Welcome to the jose-swift library! This guide will help you get started with using JSON Web Tokens (JWT), JSON Web Signatures (JWS), and JSON Web Encryption (JWE) in your Swift applications.

JWS
struct JWSJWSrepresents a JSON Web Signature (JWS) structure as defined in RFC7515. It encapsulates the protected header, payload, and signature of a JWS, and provides functionality for initializing and manipulating JWS objects in compliance with the standard.JWS Signatures
JSON Web Signatures (JWS) provide a mechanism for digitally signing data, ensuring both the integrity and authenticity of the data. This article delves into the concepts behind JWS, how to create and verify signatures using the jose-swift library, and practical examples to help you get started.

JWE
struct JWEJWEstruct represents a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) structure as defined in RFC7516. It provides mechanisms to encrypt content, represented as thecipher, along with various headers and authentication data.JWE Encryption
JSON Web Encryption (JWE) provides a mechanism for securely encrypting data, ensuring both confidentiality and integrity. This article explains the concepts behind JWE, how to create and decrypt encrypted payloads using the jose-swift library, and practical examples to get you started.

JWT
struct JWTJWTrepresents a JSON Web Token (JWT) structure as defined in RFC7519.JWT Concepts
JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. They are commonly used for authentication and information exchange in web applications. This article covers the fundamental concepts of JWTs, their structure, and how they are used in the jose-swift library.

This guide will walk you through creating JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) using the jose-swift library. JWTs are a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. They can be signed to ensure integrity and authenticity.
Read MoreVerifying JSON Web Tokens (JWTs)
This guide will walk you through verifying JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) using the jose-swift library. JWT verification ensures that the token has not been tampered with and that it was signed by a trusted source.
Read MoreClaims Validation
Claims validation is a crucial aspect of JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) to ensure that the token is valid, trustworthy, and has not been tampered with. This article explains the concepts behind claims validation, how to perform claims validation using the jose-swift library, and practical examples to get you started.
Read MoreEncrypting JWTs
This guide demonstrates how to encrypt JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) using the
Read Morejose-swiftlibrary. Encrypted JWTs (JWEs) ensure the confidentiality of the payload, protecting it from unauthorized access.Custom Claims in JWTs
Custom claims allow you to include additional information in your JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). These claims can carry various types of data relevant to your application’s needs.
Read MoreCreating and Verifying Nested JSON Web Tokens (JWTs)
Nested JWTs are used when you need to embed one JWT inside another. This can be useful for scenarios where you need to encrypt a signed JWT, providing an additional layer of security.

Security Considerations
When working with JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) and JSON Web Encryption (JWE), it’s crucial to understand and address various security considerations to protect sensitive data and ensure the integrity of your cryptographic operations. This article highlights key security aspects to keep in mind while using the jose-swift library.
Read MoreKey Management
Key management is a critical aspect of securing JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) and JSON Web Encryption (JWE). It involves the creation, distribution, storage, and rotation of cryptographic keys used for signing and encrypting tokens. This article provides an overview of key management concepts and demonstrates how to handle key management using the jose-swift library.
