Welcome to Python CWT¶

Python CWT is a CBOR Web Token (CWT) and CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) implementation compliant with:

It is designed to make users who already know about JSON Web Token (JWT) be able to use it in ease. Little knowledge of CBOR, COSE, and CWT is required to use it.

You can install Python CWT with pip:

$ pip install cwt

And then, you can use it as follows:

import cwt
from cwt import cose_key

key = cose_key.from_symmetric_key(alg="HMAC 256/256")
token = cwt.encode({"iss": "https://as.example", "sub": "dajiaji", "cti": "123"}, key)
decoded = cwt.decode(token, key)

Installation¶

You can install Python CWT with pip:

$ pip install cwt

Usage Examples¶

The following is a simple sample code for command line console.

>>> import cwt
>>> from cwt import claims, cose_key
>>> key = cose_key.from_symmetric_key(alg="HS256")
>>> token = cwt.encode({"iss": "coaps://as.example", "sub": "dajiaji", "cti": "123"}, key)
>>> token.hex()
'd18443a10105a05835a60172636f6170733a2f2f61732e6578616d706c65026764616a69616a69'
'0743313233041a609097b7051a609089a7061a609089a758201fad9b0a76803194bd11ca9b9b3c'
'bbf1028005e15321665a768994f38c7127f7'
>>> decoded = cwt.decode(token, key)
>>> decoded
{1: 'coaps://as.example', 2: 'dajiaji', 7: b'123',
 4: 1620088759, 5: 1620085159, 6: 1620085159}
>>> readable = claims.from_dict(decoded)
>>> readable.iss
'coaps://as.example'
>>> readable.sub
'dajiaji'
>>> readable.exp
1620088759

This page shows various examples to use this library. Specific examples are as follows:

MACed CWT
Signed CWT
Encrypted CWT
Nested CWT
CWT with User-Defined Claims
CWT with PoP key

MACed CWT ¶

Create a MACed CWT, verify and decode it as follows:

import cwt
from cwt import cose_key

try:
    key = cose_key.from_symmetric_key(alg="HS256")
    token = cwt.encode(
        {"iss": "coaps://as.example", "sub": "dajiaji", "cti": "123"},
        key,
    )
    decoded = cwt.decode(token, key)
except Exception as err:
    # All the other examples in this document omit error handling but this CWT library
    # can throw following errors:
    #   ValueError: Invalid arguments.
    #   EncodeError: Failed to encode.
    #   VerifyError: Failed to verify.
    #   DecodeError: Failed to decode.
    print(err)

CBOR-like structure (Dict[int, Any]) can also be used as follows:

import cwt
from cwt import cose_key

key = cose_key.from_symmetric_key(alg="HS256")
token = cwt.encode({1: "coaps://as.example", 2: "dajiaji", 7: b"123"}, key)
decoded = cwt.decode(token, key)

Algorithms other than HS256 are listed in Supported COSE Algorithms .

Signed CWT ¶

Create an Ed25519 (Ed25519 for use w/ EdDSA only) key pair:

$ openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out private_key.pem
$ openssl pkey -in private_key.pem -pubout -out public_key.pem

Create a Signed CWT, verify and decode it with the key pair as follows:

import cwt
from cwt import cose_key

with open("./private_key.pem") as key_file:
    private_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="01")
with open("./public_key.pem") as key_file:
    public_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="01")


token = cwt.encode(
    {"iss": "coaps://as.example", "sub": "dajiaji", "cti": "123"}, private_key
)

decoded = cwt.decode(token, public_key)

JWKs can also be used instead of the PEM-formatted keys as follows:

import cwt
from cwt import cose_key

private_key = cose_key.from_jwk(
    {
        "kty": "OKP",
        "d": "L8JS08VsFZoZxGa9JvzYmCWOwg7zaKcei3KZmYsj7dc",
        "use": "sig",
        "crv": "Ed25519",
        "kid": "01",
        "x": "2E6dX83gqD_D0eAmqnaHe1TC1xuld6iAKXfw2OVATr0",
        "alg": "EdDSA",
    }
)
public_key = cose_key.from_jwk(
    {
        "kty": "OKP",
        "use": "sig",
        "crv": "Ed25519",
        "kid": "01",
        "x": "2E6dX83gqD_D0eAmqnaHe1TC1xuld6iAKXfw2OVATr0",
    }
)

token = cwt.encode(
    {"iss": "coaps://as.example", "sub": "dajiaji", "cti": "123"}, private_key
)
decoded = cwt.decode(token, public_key)

Algorithms other than Ed25519 are also supported. The following is an example of ES256:

$ openssl ecparam -genkey -name prime256v1 -noout -out private_key.pem
$ openssl ec -in private_key.pem -pubout -out public_key.pem

import cwt
from cwt import cose_key

with open("./private_key.pem") as key_file:
    private_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="01")
with open("./public_key.pem") as key_file:
    public_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="01")

token = cwt.encode(
    {"iss": "coaps://as.example", "sub": "dajiaji", "cti": "123"}, private_key
)

decoded = cwt.decode(token, public_key)

Other supported algorithms are listed in Supported COSE Algorithms.

Encrypted CWT ¶

Create an encrypted CWT with ChaCha20/Poly1305 (ChaCha20/Poly1305 w/ 256-bit key, 128-bit tag), and decrypt it as follows:

import cwt
from cwt import cose_key

enc_key = cose_key.from_symmetric_key(alg="ChaCha20/Poly1305")
token = cwt.encode(
    {"iss": "coaps://as.example", "sub": "dajiaji", "cti": "123"}, enc_key
)
decoded = cwt.decode(token, enc_key)

Algorithms other than ChaCha20/Poly1305 are also supported. The following is an example of AES-CCM-16-64-256:

import cwt
from cwt import cose_key

enc_key = cose_key.from_symmetric_key(alg="AES-CCM-16-64-256")
token = cwt.encode(
    {"iss": "coaps://as.example", "sub": "dajiaji", "cti": "123"}, enc_key
)
decoded = cwt.decode(token, enc_key)

Other supported algorithms are listed in Supported COSE Algorithms.

Nested CWT ¶

Create a signed CWT and encrypt it, and then decrypt and verify the nested CWT as follows.

import cwt
from cwt import cose_key

with open("./private_key.pem") as key_file:
    private_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="01")
with open("./public_key.pem") as key_file:
    public_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="01")

# Creates a CWT with ES256 signing.
token = cwt.encode(
    {"iss": "coaps://as.example", "sub": "dajiaji", "cti": "123"}, private_key
)

# Encrypts the signed CWT.
enc_key = cose_key.from_symmetric_key(alg="ChaCha20/Poly1305")
nested = cwt.encode(token, enc_key)

# Decrypts and verifies the nested CWT.
decoded = cwt.decode(nested, [enc_key, public_key])

CWT with User-Defined Claims ¶

You can use your own claims as follows:

Note that such user-defined claim’s key should be less than -65536.

import cwt
from cwt import cose_key

with open("./private_key.pem") as key_file:
    private_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="01")
with open("./public_key.pem") as key_file:
    public_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="01")
token = cwt.encode(
    {
        1: "coaps://as.example",  # iss
        2: "dajiaji",  # sub
        7: b"123",  # cti
        -70001: "foo",
        -70002: ["bar"],
        -70003: {"baz": "qux"},
        -70004: 123,
    },
    private_key,
)
raw = cwt.decode(token, public_key)
# raw[-70001] == "foo"
# raw[-70002][0] == "bar"
# raw[-70003]["baz"] == "qux"
# raw[-70004] == 123
readable = claims.from_dict(raw)
# readable.get(-70001) == "foo"
# readable.get(-70002)[0] == "bar"
# readable.get(-70003)["baz"] == "qux"
# readable.get(-70004) == 123

User-defined claims can also be used with JSON-based claims as follows:

import cwt
from cwt import claims, cose_key

with open("./private_key.pem") as key_file:
    private_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="01")
with open("./public_key.pem") as key_file:
    public_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="01")

cwt.set_private_claim_names(
    {
        "ext_1": -70001,
        "ext_2": -70002,
        "ext_3": -70003,
        "ext_4": -70004,
    }
)
token = cwt.encode(
    {
        "iss": "coaps://as.example",
        "sub": "dajiaji",
        "cti": b"123",
        "ext_1": "foo",
        "ext_2": ["bar"],
        "ext_3": {"baz": "qux"},
        "ext_4": 123,
    },
    private_key,
)
claims.set_private_claim_names(
    {
        "ext_1": -70001,
        "ext_2": -70002,
        "ext_3": -70003,
        "ext_4": -70004,
    }
)
raw = cwt.decode(token, public_key)
readable = claims.from_dict(raw)
# readable.get("ext_1") == "foo"
# readable.get("ext_2")[0] == "bar"
# readable.get("ext_3")["baz"] == "qux"
# readable.get("ext_4") == 123

CWT with PoP key ¶

Create a CWT which has a PoP key as follows:

On the issuer side:

import cwt
from cwt import cose_key

# Prepares a signing key for CWT in advance.
with open("./private_key_of_issuer.pem") as key_file:
    private_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="issuer-01")

# Sets the PoP key to a CWT for the presenter.
token = cwt.encode(
    {
        "iss": "coaps://as.example",
        "sub": "dajiaji",
        "cti": "123",
        "cnf": {
            "jwk": {  # Provided by the CWT presenter.
                "kty": "OKP",
                "use": "sig",
                "crv": "Ed25519",
                "kid": "01",
                "x": "2E6dX83gqD_D0eAmqnaHe1TC1xuld6iAKXfw2OVATr0",
                "alg": "EdDSA",
            },
        },
    },
    private_key,
)

# Issues the token to the presenter.

On the CWT presenter side:

import cwt
from cwt import cose_key

# Prepares a private PoP key in advance.
with open("./private_pop_key.pem") as key_file:
    pop_key_private = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="01")

# Receives a message (e.g., nonce)  from the recipient.
msg = b"could-you-sign-this-message?"  # Provided by recipient.

# Signs the message with the private PoP key.
sig = pop_key_private.sign(msg)

# Sends the msg and the sig with the CWT to the recipient.

On the CWT recipient side:

import cwt
from cwt import claims, cose_key

# Prepares the public key of the issuer in advance.
with open("./public_key_of_issuer.pem") as key_file:
    public_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="issuer-01")

# Verifies and decodes the CWT received from the presenter.
raw = cwt.decode(token, public_key)
decoded = claims.from_dict(raw)

# Extracts the PoP key from the CWT.
extracted_pop_key = cose_key.from_dict(decoded.cnf)  #  = raw[8][1]

# Then, verifies the message sent by the presenter
# with the signature which is also sent by the presenter as follows:
extracted_pop_key.verify(msg, sig)

In case of another PoP confirmation method Encrypted_COSE_Key:

import cwt
from cwt import claims, cose_key

with open("./private_key.pem") as key_file:
    private_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="issuer-01")

enc_key = cose_key.from_symmetric_key(
    "a-client-secret-of-cwt-recipient",  # Just 32 bytes!
    alg="ChaCha20/Poly1305",
)
pop_key = cose_key.from_symmetric_key(
    "a-client-secret-of-cwt-presenter",
    alg="HMAC 256/256",
)

token = cwt.encode(
    {
        "iss": "coaps://as.example",
        "sub": "dajiaji",
        "cti": "123",
        "cnf": {
            # 'eck'(Encrypted Cose Key) is a keyword defined by this library.
            "eck": cose_key.to_encrypted_cose_key(pop_key, enc_key),
        },
    },
    private_key,
)

with open("./public_key.pem") as key_file:
    public_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="issuer-01")
raw = cwt.decode(token, public_key)
decoded = claims.from_dict(raw)
extracted_pop_key = cose_key.from_encrypted_cose_key(decoded.cnf, enc_key)
# extracted_pop_key.verify(message, signature)

In case of another PoP confirmation method kid:

import cwt
from cwt import claims, cose_key

with open("./private_key.pem") as key_file:
    private_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="issuer-01")

token = cwt.encode(
    {
        "iss": "coaps://as.example",
        "sub": "dajiaji",
        "cti": "123",
        "cnf": {
            "kid": "pop-key-id-of-cwt-presenter",
        },
    },
    private_key,
)

with open("./public_key.pem") as key_file:
    public_key = cose_key.from_pem(key_file.read(), kid="issuer-01")
raw = cwt.decode(token, public_key)
decoded = claims.from_dict(raw)
# decoded.cnf(=raw[8][3]) is kid.
