I have been searching for an example I can understand of how to validate the signature of a JWT with the Go Language.

This might be especially tricky since I am using Okta, and it uses JWKs, so it is not especially straight forward.

When I receive a JWT, I can decode it no problem. I just get stuck on how to verify the signature.

Below I have included a JWT and the JWK details. Can anyone provide signature validation with an example?

You can get to all of this information at https://oktaproxy.com/oidcgenerator.php — this site will generate a JWT from Okta, and the keys can be obtained at https://companyx.okta.com/oauth2/v1/keys.

Here is the JWT:

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
    // we want to verify a JWT
    set, err := jwk.FetchHTTP(jwksURL)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    keyID, ok := token.Header["kid"].(string)
    if !ok {
        return nil, errors.New("expecting JWT header to have string kid")
    }

    if key := set.LookupKeyID(keyID); len(key) == 1 {
        return key[0].Materialize()
    }

    return nil, fmt.Errorf("unable to find key %q", keyID)
}

func main() {
    token, err := jwt.Parse(token, getKey)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    claims := token.Claims.(jwt.MapClaims)
    for key, value := range claims {
        fmt.Printf("%s\t%v\n", key, value)
    }
}

    That worked ! I put the code on the GO Playground so others can see the code. https://play.golang.org/p/fkag0DMexY – user3888307 Dec 10 '16 at 17:27
  • @Tim has this code broken now? If I run it directly it just says unable to find key. – Lewis Lebentz Jul 05 '19 at 15:28
  • 1
    Apologies, this does work, just had to update the token and jwks url to a valid one! – Lewis Lebentz Jul 05 '19 at 19:18
  • Looks like the current version of the jwx library is at: "github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx" – Atif Aug 07 '19 at 18:54
  • Is it possible the API for jwx keeps changing? I'm getting `key[0].Materialize undefined (type jwk.Key has no field or method Materialize)` – Jim Wharton Jul 04 '20 at 01:29
  • 3
    @JimWharton there's an example of the new `Raw` method that replaced Materialize in the Readme.md – David Jul 08 '20 at 18:03
  • Thank you @David, I dug into the docs a bit more and did find that. – Jim Wharton Jul 08 '20 at 22:02
  • One should not forget to also verify key alg here ;) – dan Sep 22 '20 at 05:40
  • 6
    This doesn't work with the `lestrrat-go` version of the library. They broke compatibility and the `Materialize()` method doesn't exist anymore. The keys in the keyset are now `*jwk.rsaPublicKey` and we need `*rsa.PublicKey` in order to use dgrijalva's `jwt.Parse()`. I don't have a solution for the moment. – Ivaylo Novakov Dec 18 '20 at 13:37
  • 2
    @IvayloNovakov: ``return key[0].Materialize()`` above has been replaced with these two calls: ``var empty interface{}`` and then ``return nil, key[0].Raw(&empty)``. However, I also have a problem that the Parse method always returns an error : ``key is of invalid type``. Any idea? – Anton Jan 09 '21 at 18:40
  • Until I find a solution, I switch to ``github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx v0.9.2`` where ``Materialize()`` exists. – Anton Jan 09 '21 at 18:57
  • 2
    Found the solution using the Raw method (starting from `lestrrat-go/jwx v1.x.y`): `var pubkey interface{}`, then `err := key[0].Raw(&pubkey)` and `return pubkey, nil`. Ensure you do an error check on the `err` (return value of the Raw method). – Anton Jan 09 '21 at 22:21
  • See [my answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56905995/how-to-verify-a-jwt-token-from-aws-cognito-in-go#answer-65947083) to a similar question. `github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go` doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. – James South Jan 29 '21 at 00:34
  • Another potential pitfall - make sure to return a pointer to `pubkey` at the end of `keyFunc` otherwise the cast will fail inside the `jwt` module's `Verify` – ymbcKxSw Jan 17 '23 at 01:46

I've had a very similar use case recently so I read through some RFCs and authored this package: github.com/MicahParks/keyfunc.

It allows you to use the most popular JWT package, github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v4, (formerly github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go), to parse tokens. It can also automatically live reload the contents of your JWKS in a background goroutine.

Using your JWKS and JWT, here are two examples. The first will load the JWKS from a remote URL via HTTPS. The second will load it from static JSON.

From JWKS hosted via HTTPS

package main

import (
    "context"
    "log"
    "time"

    "github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v4"

    "github.com/MicahParks/keyfunc"
)

func main() {
    // Get the JWKS URL.
    //
    // This is a sample JWKS service. Visit https://jwks-service.appspot.com/ and grab a token to test this example.
    jwksURL := "https://jwks-service.appspot.com/.well-known/jwks.json"

    // Create a context that, when cancelled, ends the JWKS background refresh goroutine.
    ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())

    // Create the keyfunc options. Use an error handler that logs. Refresh the JWKS when a JWT signed by an unknown KID
    // is found or at the specified interval. Rate limit these refreshes. Timeout the initial JWKS refresh request after
    // 10 seconds. This timeout is also used to create the initial context.Context for keyfunc.Get.
    options := keyfunc.Options{
        Ctx: ctx,
        RefreshErrorHandler: func(err error) {
            log.Printf("There was an error with the jwt.Keyfunc\nError: %s", err.Error())
        },
        RefreshInterval:   time.Hour,
        RefreshRateLimit:  time.Minute * 5,
        RefreshTimeout:    time.Second * 10,
        RefreshUnknownKID: true,
    }

    // Create the JWKS from the resource at the given URL.
    jwks, err := keyfunc.Get(jwksURL, options)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Failed to create JWKS from resource at the given URL.\nError: %s", err.Error())
    }

    // Get a JWT to parse.
    jwtB64 := "eyJraWQiOiJlZThkNjI2ZCIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2In0.eyJzdWIiOiJXZWlkb25nIiwiYXVkIjoiVGFzaHVhbiIsImlzcyI6Imp3a3Mtc2VydmljZS5hcHBzcG90LmNvbSIsImlhdCI6MTYzMTM2OTk1NSwianRpIjoiNDY2M2E5MTAtZWU2MC00NzcwLTgxNjktY2I3NDdiMDljZjU0In0.LwD65d5h6U_2Xco81EClMa_1WIW4xXZl8o4b7WzY_7OgPD2tNlByxvGDzP7bKYA9Gj--1mi4Q4li4CAnKJkaHRYB17baC0H5P9lKMPuA6AnChTzLafY6yf-YadA7DmakCtIl7FNcFQQL2DXmh6gS9J6TluFoCIXj83MqETbDWpL28o3XAD_05UP8VLQzH2XzyqWKi97mOuvz-GsDp9mhBYQUgN3csNXt2v2l-bUPWe19SftNej0cxddyGu06tXUtaS6K0oe0TTbaqc3hmfEiu5G0J8U6ztTUMwXkBvaknE640NPgMQJqBaey0E4u0txYgyvMvvxfwtcOrDRYqYPBnA"

    // Parse the JWT.
    token, err := jwt.Parse(jwtB64, jwks.Keyfunc)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Failed to parse the JWT.\nError: %s", err.Error())
    }

    // Check if the token is valid.
    if !token.Valid {
        log.Fatalf("The token is not valid.")
    }
    log.Println("The token is valid.")

    // End the background refresh goroutine when it's no longer needed.
    cancel()

    // This will be ineffectual because the line above this canceled the parent context.Context.
    // This method call is idempotent similar to context.CancelFunc.
    jwks.EndBackground()
}

From JWKS as JSON

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "log"

    "github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v4"

    "github.com/MicahParks/keyfunc"
)

func main() {
    // Get the JWKS as JSON.

    The code contains this error: `Cannot use 'jwks.Keyfunc' (type func(token *jwt.Token) (interface{}, error)) as the type Keyfunc`, maybe I am using a newer version, not sure – Matteo Aug 04 '22 at 11:45

    Yes, @Matteo, the `github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go` package was declared unmaintained some time ago. The community successor is `github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v4`. Here's an up-to-date example from the GitHub repo, I'll update this answer soon as well. https://github.com/MicahParks/keyfunc/blob/master/examples/recommended_options/main.go – Micah Parks Aug 04 '22 at 12:04

I came across a very similar use case where I wanted to verify/validate an access-token and extract fields(such as: iss, sub, aud, exp, iat, jti, etc..) from it after parsing/decoding. For my use case, I have used jwx and jwt-go lib.

I have tried the @tim-cooper example but it did not compile/work with the latest API version, so here is the code snippet which worked for me.

Code snippet

go.mod
module my-go-module

go 1.16

require (
    github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go v3.2.0+incompatible
    github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx v1.0.4
)
Code
package main

import (
    "errors"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go"
    "github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jwa"
    "github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jwk"
)

func main() {
