Enclosing interface:

JsonConstants

public static interface JsonConstants.JWT

JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. The claims in a JWT are encoded as a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object that is used as the payload of a JSON Web Signature (JWS) structure or as the plaintext of a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) structure, enabling the claims to be digitally signed or MACed and/or encrypted.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static String	CLAIM_AUDIENCE The aud (audience) claim identifies the recipients that the JWT is intended for.
static String	CLAIM_EXPIRATION The exp (expiration time) claim identifies the expiration time on or after which the JWT MUST NOT be accepted for processing.
static String	CLAIM_ID The jti (JWT ID) claim provides a unique identifier for the JWT.
static String	CLAIM_ISSUED_AT The iat (issued at) claim identifies the time at which the JWT was issued.
static String	CLAIM_ISSUER The iss (issuer) claim identifies the principal that issued the JWT.
static String	CLAIM_NOT_BEFORE The nbf (not before) claim identifies the time before which the JWT MUST NOT be accepted for processing.
static String	CLAIM_SUBJECT The sub (subject) claim identifies the principal that is the subject of the JWT.

Field Detail

CLAIM_ISSUER

static final String CLAIM_ISSUER

The iss (issuer) claim identifies the principal that issued the JWT. The processing of this claim is generally application specific. The iss value is a case-sensitive string containing a StringOrURI value. Use of this claim is OPTIONAL.

Constant Field Values

CLAIM_SUBJECT

static final String CLAIM_SUBJECT

The sub (subject) claim identifies the principal that is the subject of the JWT. The Claims in a JWT are normally statements about the subject. The subject value MAY be scoped to be locally unique in the context of the issuer or MAY be globally unique. The processing of this claim is generally application specific. The sub value is a case-sensitive string containing a StringOrURI value. Use of this claim is OPTIONAL.

Constant Field Values

CLAIM_AUDIENCE

static final String CLAIM_AUDIENCE

The aud (audience) claim identifies the recipients that the JWT is intended for. Each principal intended to process the JWT MUST identify itself with a value in the audience claim. If the principal processing the claim does not identify itself with a value in the aud claim when this claim is present, then the JWT MUST be rejected. In the general case, the aud value is an array of case-sensitive strings, each containing a StringOrURI value. In the special case when the JWT has one audience, the aud value MAY be a single case-sensitive string containing a StringOrURI value. The interpretation of audience values is generally application specific. Use of this claim is OPTIONAL.

Constant Field Values

CLAIM_EXPIRATION

static final String CLAIM_EXPIRATION

The exp (expiration time) claim identifies the expiration time on or after which the JWT MUST NOT be accepted for processing. The processing of the exp claim requires that the current date/time MUST be before the expiration date/time listed in the exp claim. Implementers MAY provide for some small leeway, usually no more than a few minutes, to account for clock skew. Its value MUST be a number containing an IntDate value. Use of this claim is OPTIONAL.

Constant Field Values

CLAIM_NOT_BEFORE

static final String CLAIM_NOT_BEFORE

The nbf (not before) claim identifies the time before which the JWT MUST NOT be accepted for processing. The processing of the nbf claim requires that the current date/time MUST be after or equal to the not-before date/time listed in the nbf claim. Implementers MAY provide for some small leeway, usually no more than a few minutes, to account for clock skew. Its value MUST be a number containing an IntDate value. Use of this claim is OPTIONAL.

Constant Field Values

CLAIM_ISSUED_AT

static final String CLAIM_ISSUED_AT

The iat (issued at) claim identifies the time at which the JWT was issued. This claim can be used to determine the age of the JWT. Its value MUST be a number containing an IntDate value. Use of this claim is OPTIONAL.

Constant Field Values

CLAIM_ID

static final String CLAIM_ID

The jti (JWT ID) claim provides a unique identifier for the JWT. The identifier value MUST be assigned in a manner that ensures that there is a negligible probability that the same value will be accidentally assigned to a different data object. The jti claim can be used to prevent the JWT from being replayed. The jti value is a case-sensitive string. Use of this claim is OPTIONAL.
