python-jwt
python-jwt is a JSON Web Token (JWT) implementation in Python developed by Gehirn Inc.
Examples
import json
from jwt import (
JWT,
jwk_from_dict,
jwk_from_pem,
)
message = {
'iss': 'https://example.com/',
'sub': 'yosida95',
'iat': 1485969205,
'exp': 1485972805,
}
with open('rsa_private_key.pem', 'rb') as fh:
signing_key = jwk_from_pem(fh.read())
jwt = JWT()
compact_jws = jwt.encode(message, signing_key, 'RS256')
with open('rsa_public_key.json', 'r') as fh:
verifying_key = jwk_from_dict(json.load(fh))
message_received = jwt.decode(compact_jws, verifying_key)
assert message == message_received
