lws minimal example for JWK
Demonstrates how to generate and format any kind of supported new random JWK keys.
The full private key is output to stdout, a version of the key with the private
part removed and some metadata adapted can be saved to a file at the same time
using --public <file>. In the public form, key_ops and use elements are
adjusted to remove activities that require a private key.
Key elements are output in strict RFC7638 lexicographic order as required by some applications.
Keys produced with openssl and mbedtls backends are completely interchangeable.
build
$ cmake . && make
usage
| Commandline option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| -d | Debug verbosity in decimal, eg, -d15 |
| -t | RSA, OCT or EC |
| -b | For RSA and OCT, key size in bits |
| -v | For EC keys, the curve, eg, "P-384"... this implies the key bits |
| --kid "ID string" | Key identity string |
| --use "use[ use]" | Key use restriction (mutually exclusive with --key-ops): sig, enc |
| --alg | Specify the algorithm the key is designed for, eg "RSA1_5" |
| --key-ops "op[ op]" | Key valid operations (mutually exclusive with --use): sign, verify, encrypt, decrypt, wrapKey, unwrapKey, deriveKey, deriveBits |
| -c | Format the jwk as a linebroken C string |
| --public | Only output the full, private key, not the public version first |
For legibility the example uses -c, however this
$ ./lws-crypto-jwk -t EC -v P-256 --key-ops "sign verify" --public mykey.pub

Notice the logging goes out on stderr, the key data goes on stdout.
