The jwk Module implements the JSON Web Key standard. A JSON Web Key is represented by a JWK object, related utility classes and functions are available in this module too.

Examples¶
- Create a 256bit symmetric key::
>>> from jwcrypto import jwk >>> key = jwk.JWK.generate(kty='oct', size=256)
- Export the key with::
>>> key.export() '{"k":"...","kty":"oct"}'
- Create a 2048bit RSA key pair::
>>> jwk.JWK.generate(kty='RSA', size=2048) {"kid":"Missing Key ID","thumbprint":"..."}
- Create a P-256 EC key pair and export the public key::
>>> key = jwk.JWK.generate(kty='EC', crv='P-256') >>> key.export(private_key=False) '{"crv":"P-256","kty":"EC","x":"...","y":"..."}'
- Import a P-256 Public Key::
>>> expkey = {"y":"VYlYwBfOTIICojCPfdUjnmkpN-g-lzZKxzjAoFmDRm8", ... "x":"3mdE0rODWRju6qqU01Kw5oPYdNxBOMisFvJFH1vEu9Q", ... "crv":"P-256","kty":"EC"} >>> key = jwk.JWK(**expkey)
- Import a Key from a PEM file::
>>> with open("public.pem", "rb") as pemfile: ... key = jwk.JWK.from_pem(pemfile.read())
