TODO

• Add more examples
• Improve coverage

Features

• Manages & Orchestrates JWT for user login, logout & renew
• Easy start
• No un-safe code
• Runs on stable rust
• Library approach (Requires no runtime)
• Supports plugable components (Store & Hasher)
• Invalidates old refresh upon new refresh token renewal
• Invalidates old authentication upon new authentication token renewal
• Handles Thundering herd problem upon authentication token expiry

Quickstart

Dependencies:

shell script ./generate_certificates.sh

toml [dependencies] jwtvault = "*"

```rust use jwtvault::prelude::*; use std::collections::HashMap;

fn main() { let mut users = HashMap::new();

// User: John Doe

let userjohn = "John Doe"; let passwordfor_john = "john";

// User: Jane Doe let userjane = "Jane Doe"; let passwordfor_jane = "jane";

// load users and their password from database/somewhere users.insert(userjohn.tostring(), passwordforjohn.tostring()); users.insert(userjane.tostring(), passwordforjane.tostring());

// Initialize vault let mut vault = DefaultVault::new(users);

// John needs to login now let token = vault.login( userjohn, passwordfor_john, None, None, ).ok().unwrap().unwrap();

// When John presents authentication token, it can be used to restore John's session info let serverrefreshtoken = vault.resolveservertokenfromclientauthenticationtoken( userjohn.asbytes(), token.authentication_token() ).ok().unwrap();

// serverrefreshtoken (variable) contains server which captures client private info // which never leaves the server let privateinfoaboutjohn = serverrefresh_token.server().unwrap();

// serverrefreshtoken (variable) contains client which captures client public info // which is send to client let datafromserverside = serverrefresh_token.client().unwrap();

// Check out the data on client and server which are public and private respectively println!(" [Public] John Info: {}", String::fromutf8lossy(datafromserverside.asslice()).tostring()); println!("[Private] John Info: {}", String::fromutf8lossy(privateinfoaboutjohn.asslice()).tostring());

// lets renew authentication token let newtoken = vault.renew( userjohn.asbytes(), token.refreshtoken(), None, ).ok().unwrap();

// When John presents new authentication token it can be used to restore session info let _ = vault.resolveservertokenfromclientauthenticationtoken( userjohn.asbytes(), newtoken.asstr(), ).ok().unwrap(); } ```

Workflows

• To begin use login with ***user*** and ***password***

  • Upon successful login is provides user will be provided with JWT pair (authentication/refresh)

  • Authentication token is then provided to access any resources

  • Refresh token is used to renew an authentication token upon expiry

• Use resolve_server_token_from_client_authentication_token with ***user*** and ***authenticationtoken*_ to restore user session

• Use renew with ***user*** and ***refreshtoken*_ to generate new authentication token

• Use logout with ***user*** and ***authenticationtoken*_ will remove all tokens associated with the user
