HTTP Signatures

This crate is used to create and verify HTTP Signatures, defined here. It has support for Hyper, Rocket, and Reqwest types. In the future, I might also support Iron middleware for verification.

Running the examples

Since this crate is built to modularly require dependencies, running the examples is not as straightforward as for other projects. To run hyper_server and hyper_client, the proper commands are cargo run --example hyper_server --features use_hyper and cargo run --example hyper_client --features use_hyper. The hyper examples are configured to talk to eachother by default. The server runs on port 3000, and the client POSTs on port 3000. The rocket server (cargo run --example rocket --features use_rocket) runs on port 8000, and the reqwest client (cargo run --example reqwest --features use_reqwest) GETs on port 8000.

Usage

With Hyper

Add this to your Cargo.toml toml [dependencies.http-signatures] version = "0.1" features = ["use_hyper"]

Client

Use it when building a request as follows. ```rust let keyid = "some-username-or-something"; let privatekey = File::open("test/assets/private.der").unwrap();

let mut core = Core::new().unwrap(); let client = Client::new(&core.handle());

let json = r#"{"library":"hyper"}"#; let mut req = Request::new(Method::Post, "http://localhost:3000".parse().unwrap()); req.headersmut().set(ContentType::json()); req.headersmut().set(ContentLength(json.len() as u64)); req.set_body(json);

// Add the HTTP Signature req.withhttpsignature( keyid.into(), privatekey, SignatureAlgorithm::RSA(ShaSize::FiveTwelve), ).unwrap();

let post = client.request(req).and_then(|res| { println!("POST: {}", res.status());

res.body().concat2()

});

core.run(post).unwrap(); ```

Server

This is a very basic example server outline that should give you a general idea of how to set up a Hyper server that verifies HTTP Signatures. This is not meant to be code that actually works. ```rust

[derive(Clone)]

struct MyKeyGetter { key: Vec, }

impl MyKeyGetter { fn new(filename: &str) -> Resulterr(|| ..)? .readtoend(&mut key) .maperr(|| ..)?;

    Ok(MyKeyGetter { key })
}

}

impl GetKey for MyKeyGetter { type Key = Cursor>; type Error = ..;

fn get_key(self, _key_id: &str) -> Result<Self::Key, ..> {
    Ok(Cursor::new(self.key.clone()))
}

}

struct HelloWorld { key_getter: MyKeyGetter, }

impl HelloWorld { fn new(filename: &str) -> Result

const PHRASE: &'static str = "Hewwo, Mr. Obama???";

impl Service for HelloWorld { ...

fn call(&self, req: Request) -> Self::Future {
    let verified = req.verify_authorization_header(self.key_getter.clone())
        .map_err(|_| hyper::Error::Header);

    Box::new(verified.into_future().and_then(|_| {
        println!("Succesfully verified request!");
        Ok(
            Response::new()
                .with_header(ContentLength(PHRASE.len() as u64))
                .with_body(PHRASE),
        )
    }))
}

}

fn main() { let addr = "127.0.0.1:3000".parse().unwrap(); let server = Http::new() .bind(&addr, || { Ok(HelloWorld::new("test/assets/public.der").unwrap()) }) .unwrap(); server.run().unwrap(); } ```

With Reqwest

Add this to your Cargo.toml toml [dependencies.http-signatures] version = "0.1" features = ["use_reqwest"] In your code, use it when building a request as follows.

```rust let keyid = "some-username-or-something".into(); let privatekey = File::open("test/assets/private.der").unwrap();

let client = Client::new(); let mut req = client .post("http://localhost:3000") .body("Some Body") .build() .unwrap();

req.withhttpsignature( keyid, privatekey, SignatureAlgorithm::RSA(ShaSize::FiveTwelve), ).unwrap();

client.execute(req).unwrap(); ```

With Rocket

Add this to your Cargo.toml toml [dependencies.http-signatures] version = "0.1" features = ["use_rocket"] In your code, use it in a route like so ```rust

[derive(Clone)]

struct MyKeyGetter { key: Vec, }

impl MyKeyGetter { fn new(filename: &str) -> Result { let mut key = Vec::new(); std::fs::File::open(filename) .maperr(|| ..)? .readtoend(&mut key) .maperr(|| ..)?;

    Ok(MyKeyGetter { key })
}

}

impl GetKey for MyKeyGetter { type Key = Cursor>; type Error = ..;

fn get_key(self, _key_id: &str) -> Result<Self::Key, Self::Error> {
    Ok(Cursor::new(self.key.clone()))
}

}

struct Verified;

impl<'a, 'r> FromRequest<'a, 'r> for Verified { type Error = ();

fn from_request(request: &'a Request<'r>) -> Outcome<Verified, ()> {
    let res = request
        .guard::<State<MyKeyGetter>>()
        .succeeded()
        .ok_or(())
        .and_then(|key_getter| {
            request
                .verify_authorization_header(key_getter.clone())
                .map_err(|_| ..)?;

            Ok(Verified)
        });

    match res {
        Ok(verified) => Success(verified),
        Err(fail) => Failure((Status::Forbidden, fail)),
    }
}

}

[get("/")]

fn index(_verified: Verified) -> &'static str { "Successfully verified request" }

fn main() { let key_getter = MyKeyGetter::new("test/assets/public.der").unwrap();

rocket::ignite()
    .mount("/", routes![index])
    .manage(key_getter)
    .launch();

} ```

Testing

Since examples could have tests, they get compiled during a cargo test. Be sure to run cargo test --all-features.
