JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption

v2.0.0 · Apr 21, 2026 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Read and write JSON Web Keys (JWK, rfc7517), generate and verify JSON Web Signatures (JWS, rfc7515) and encode/decode JSON Web Tokens (JWT, rfc7519) <https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/jose/documents/>. These standards provide modern signing and encryption formats that are natively supported by browsers via the JavaScript WebCryptoAPI <https://www.w3.org/TR/webcrypto/#jose>, and used by services like OAuth 2.0, LetsEncrypt, and Github Apps.
