Hey Gregory, We might have something you can use. Have a look at jwcrypto.jsm inside the Identity module[1].
That's a copy of code hosted on github[2], although I don't think it is fully up-to-date with the finalized JOSE specs. The copy in m-c is no doubt farther out-of-date; I'm not sure when it was last updated. Sean (cc'd) has done a bit of work getting jwcrypto updated recently, and might have more to add. Cheers, Jared [1] http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/identity/jwcrypto.jsm [2] https://github.com/mozilla/jwcrypto/ On Aug 12, 2014, at 10:26 AM, Ian Bicking <[email protected]> wrote: > Someone working on FxA might have an answer to this query... > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Gregory Szorc <[email protected]> > Date: Tue, Aug 12, 2014 at 12:22 PM > Subject: Evaluating adding JOSE and JWS to mozilla-central > To: dev-platform <[email protected]> > > > The possibility of using JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) - > specifically the verification part of the JSON Web Signature (JWS) component > - came up as part of planning a JavaScript-based feature I'm working on. > > We don't appear to have an implementation in mozilla-central yet.
