JWT token decoding even when the last character of the signature is changed

The reason is the base64url encoding. The three parts of a JWT are all base64url encoded. Base64 encoding transforms the input data to a 6-Bit representation, mapped to a set of 64 ASCII characters. If you have 3 bytes source data (24 bits), the base64 encoded result is 4 characters long, each character representing a … Read more

How to verify JWT signature with JWK in Go?

Below is an example of JWT decoding and verification. It uses both the jwt-go and jwk packages: package main import ( “errors” “fmt” “github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go” “github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jwk” ) const token = `eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6Ind5TXdLNEE2Q0w5UXcxMXVvZlZleVExMTlYeVgteHlreW1ra1h5Z1o1T00ifQ.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.OtVyCK0sE6Cuclg9VMD2AwLhqEyq2nv3a1bfxlzeS-bdu9KtYxcPSxJ6vxMcSSbMIIq9eEz9JFMU80zqgDPHBCjlOsC5SIPz7mm1Z3gCwq4zsFJ-2NIzYxA3p161ZRsPv_3bUyg9B_DPFyBoihgwWm6yrvrb4rmHXrDkjxpxCLPp3OeIpc_kb2t8r5HEQ5UBZPrsiScvuoVW13YwWpze59qBl_84n9xdmQ5pS7DklzkAVgqJT_NWBlb5uo6eW26HtJwHzss7xOIdQtcOtC1Gj3O82a55VJSQnsEEBeqG1ESb5Haq_hJgxYQnBssKydPCIxdZiye-0Ll9L8wWwpzwig` const jwksURL = `https://companyx.okta.com/oauth2/v1/keys` func getKey(token *jwt.Token) (interface{}, error) { // TODO: cache response so we don’t have to make a request every time // … Read more

ASP.NET core JWT authentication always throwing 401 unauthorized

Keep in mind that the UseAuthentication, UseRouting and UseAuthorization middleware must in correct in order for the ASP framework properly inject the identity context to http request. It should look like this: (.NET Core 3.1) Edit: the same code applies to .NET 5 & .NET 6 app.UseAuthentication(); app.UseRouting(); app.UseAuthorization(); app.UseEndpoints(endpoints => { endpoints.MapControllers(); });
