Getting Started

Installation

Using npm in your project directory run the following command:

npm install --save jwks-rsa

Supports all currently registered JWK types and JWS Algorithms, see panva/jose#262 for more information.

Configure the client

Provide a JWKS endpoint which exposes your signing keys.

const jwksClient = require('jwks-rsa');

const client = jwksClient({
  jwksUri: 'https://sandrino.auth0.com/.well-known/jwks.json',
  requestHeaders: {}, // Optional
  timeout: 30000 // Defaults to 30s
});

Retrieve a key

Then use getSigningKey to retrieve a signing key that matches a specific kid.

const kid = 'RkI5MjI5OUY5ODc1N0Q4QzM0OUYzNkVGMTJDOUEzQkFCOTU3NjE2Rg';
const key = await client.getSigningKey(kid);
const signingKey = key.getPublicKey();

Other packages similar to jwks-rsa

node-jose

A package for JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) and JSON Web Token (JWT) implementation. It offers similar functionalities for handling JWKS but is more comprehensive in terms of JOSE standards support, including encryption and decryption capabilities, which jwks-rsa does not directly offer.

jsonwebtoken

This package is primarily focused on creating and verifying JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). While it doesn't directly handle JWKS, it is often used in conjunction with libraries like jwks-rsa for verifying JWT signatures against public keys obtained from a JWKS endpoint.
