A simple NaCl library to generate an encrypted token with claims like that of JWT. NaCl already provides encrypt-then-MAC capability so you don't need HMAC to sign the token
Claims: set exp using the following convenience functions:
- ExpiresInSeconds
- ExpiresInMinutes
- ExpiresInHours
- ExpiresInDays
- ExpiresInMonths
Generate NaCl key: call GenerateKey()
func Sign(claims map[string]interface{}, naclKey string) (string, error)Rules:
- claims is a map or the equivalent of object in JavaScript
- naclKey is used to encrypt the claims
- call GenerateKey() to generate naclKey
func Verify(token, naclKey string) (map[string]interface{}, error)Returns the corresponding claims as map[string]interface{} if token is valid
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/ibmendoza/salt"
"time"
)
func main() {
claims := make(map[string]interface{})
claims["sub"] = "1234567890"
claims["name"] = "John Doe"
claims["admin"] = true
claims["exp"] = salt.ExpiresInSeconds(1)
//claims["exp"] = jwt.ExpiresInMinutes(1)
//claims["exp"] = jwt.ExpiresInHours(1)
key, _ := salt.GenerateKey()
fmt.Println(key)
token, _ := salt.Sign(claims, key)
fmt.Println(token)
fmt.Println(salt.Verify(token, key))
timer1 := time.NewTimer(time.Second * 2)
<-timer1.C
fmt.Println(salt.Verify(token, key)) //expired after 2secs
