By default ECDSA keys will be used since they've had native support in node
_much_ longer than RSA has, and they're smaller, and faster to generate.
## API
## API Overview
Each of these return a Promise.
#### Keypairs.generate(options)
* `Keypairs.generate(options)`
* options example `{ kty: 'RSA', modulusLength: 2048 }`
* options example `{ kty: 'ECDSA', namedCurve: 'P-256' }`
* `Keypairs.import(options)`
* options example `{ pem: '...' }`
* `Keypairs.export(options)`
* options example `{ jwk: jwk }`
* options example `{ jwk: jwk, public: true }`
* `Keypairs.thumbprint({ jwk: jwk })`
Generates a public/private pair of JWKs as `{ private, public }`
<!--
Option examples:
* `Keypairs.jws.sign(options)`
* options example `{ keypair, header, protected, payload }`
* `Keypairs.csr.generate(options)`
* options example `{ keypair, [ 'example.com' ] }`
* RSA `{ kty: 'RSA', modulusLength: 2048 }`
* ECDSA `{ kty: 'ECDSA', namedCurve: 'P-256' }`
-->
When no options are supplied EC P-256 (also known as `prime256v1` and `secp256r1`) is used by default.
#### Keypairs.import({ pem: '...' }
Takes a PEM in pretty much any format (PKCS1, SEC1, PKCS8, SPKI) and returns a JWK.
#### Keypairs.export(options)
Exports a JWK as a PEM.
Exports PEM in PKCS8 (private) or SPKI (public) by default.
# Full Documentation
Options
Keypairs.js provides a 1-to-1 mapping to the Rasha.js and Eckles.js APIs.
```js
{ jwk: jwk
, public: true
, encoding: 'pem' // or 'der'
, format: 'pkcs8' // or 'ssh', 'pkcs1', 'sec1', 'spki'
}
```
#### Keypairs.thumbprint({ jwk: jwk })
The full RSA documentation is at [Rasha.js](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/rasha.js/)
Promises a JWK-spec thumbprint: URL Base64-encoded sha256
The full ECDSA documentation is at [Eckles.js](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/eckles.js/)
#### Keypairs.signJwt({ jwk, header, claims })
Any option you pass to Keypairs will be passed directly to the corresponding API
Returns a JWT (otherwise known as a protected JWS in "compressed" format).
```js
{ jwk: jwk
, claims: {
}
}
```
Header defaults:
```js
{ kid: thumbprint
, alg: 'xS256'
, typ: 'JWT'
}
```
Payload notes:
* `iat: now` is added by default (set `false` to disable)
* `exp` must be set (set `false` to disable)
* `iss` should be the base URL for JWK lookup (i.e. via OIDC, Auth0)
Notes:
`header` is actually the JWS `protected` value, as all JWTs use protected headers (yay!)
and `claims` are really the JWS `payload`.
#### Keypairs.signJws({ jwk, header, protected, payload })
This is provided for APIs like ACME (Let's Encrypt) that use uncompressed JWS (instead of JWT, which is compressed).
Options:
* `header` not what you think. Leave undefined unless you need this for the spec you're following.
* `protected` is the typical JWT-style header
* `kid` and `alg` will be added by default (these are almost always required), set `false` explicitly to disable
* `payload` can be JSON, a string, or even a buffer (which gets URL Base64 encoded)
* you must set this to something, even if it's an empty string, object, or Buffer
# Additional Documentation
Keypairs.js provides a 1-to-1 mapping to the Rasha.js and Eckles.js APIs,
but it also includes the additional convenience methods `signJwt` and `signJws`.
That is to say that any option you pass to Keypairs will be passed directly to the corresponding API
of either Rasha or Eckles.
* See ECDSA documentation at [Eckles.js](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/eckles.js/)
* See RSA documentation at [Rasha.js](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/rasha.js/)
