JSON Web Tokens

As a security measure, your server must allow identity creation and anonymous encryptions using JSON Web tokens.

For signup, this feature replaces the now deprecated User License Tokens.

Creating a `JWTSecret`

Once the JWTSecret is created, you will need to retrieve this JWTSecret and its JWTSecretId to enable your server to create JSON Web Tokens.

Each JWTSecret has permissions. For more details, see permissions.

TIP

JWTSecret is, as the name implies, secret. Please take appropriate measures to store it securely.

However, JWTSecretId is not secret.

Via the dashboard

When creating your dashboard account, a JWT secret including all permissions (permission: -1) is automatically created. This is displayed on the homepage.

To generate another JWT Secret, login to your admin dashboard and follow these steps:

Go to the settings, JWT secrets tab.
Click on create a secret.
Select the desired permissions.
Confirm the creation of the secret.

Once the secret is created, retrieve its ID, JWTSecretId, and its value: JWTSecret.

Programmatically

To create a JSON Web Token, you first need a JWTSecret.

You can create, list, and delete JWTSecret, which allow to create JSON Web Tokens for your team, on the DashboardAPI.

In order to create a JWTSecret, you can make a POST /dashboardapi/v2/jwtsharedsecret/, with the request body:

json

{
  "permissions": Array<Permission>
}

Code example

Example request to create a JWTSecret:

shell

curl -X POST https://dashboard.seald.io/dashboardapi/v2/jwtsharedsecret/ \
  -H 'X-DASHBOARD-API-KEY: YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"permissions": [1]}'

Example response:

json

{
  "id": "32266d8c-2085-490a-8ef5-259ea35e1501", // UUID : JWTSecretId
  "created": "2021-11-09T10:49:09.490338Z", // Timestamp ISO
  "shared_secret": "c9kijQo1kJgieXZ9TAHFj9R0TgHb4bgLhDnWWRgjq4TmBzUdSB5mzuOcBb0gQMSi", // String : JWTSecret
  "permissions": [ 1 ] // Array<Permission>
}

Adding a `connector`

You can add a connector to a SDK identity. This connector is a string that specifies a user uniquely for your application. You can choose any unique identifier. Depending on the user model in your application, you can for example choose: the username, their email address, their internal ID in your application, ...

The connector must be in the format ${IDENTIFIER}@${APP_ID}. The connector type must always be 'AP'.

An identity can have multiple identifiers.

TIP

The old name of this feature, now deprecated, used to be userId. The userId used to correspond to the IDENTIFIER part of the connector format described above, without the @${APP_ID}.

For this, the JWT Secret must have the PERMISSION_ADD_CONNECTOR permission. This connector is specified in the connector_add key of the JWT.

WARNING

The connector is stored in clear text in our database. In order to minimize the data that Seald stores about your users, it is not recommended to use an email address or any other personal identifying information. The optimal is to use a UUID.

JSON Web Token permissions

Each JWTSecret has permissions, and it can assign any or all of the permissions it has to each JSON Web Token it creates.

Permission are integers. Possible values are as follows:

PERMISSION_ALL = -1: all permissions.
PERMISSION_ANONYMOUS_CREATE_SESSION = 0: allows creating JSON Web Tokens which can anonymously create an Encryption Session.
PERMISSION_ANONYMOUS_FIND_KEYS = 1: allows creating JSON Web Tokens which can retrieve the recipients' encryption keys.
PERMISSION_ANONYMOUS_FIND_SIGCHAIN = 2: allows creating JSON Web Tokens which can retrieve the recipients' SigChain. Unused.
PERMISSION_JOIN_TEAM = 3 : allows creating JSON Web Tokens which can add an SDK identity to your team.
PERMISSION_ADD_CONNECTOR = 4 : allows creating JSON Web Tokens which can add a custom userId to an SDK identity.
PERMISSION_ANONYMOUS_FIND_SYMENCKEY = 5: allows creating JSON Web Tokens which can retrieve an Encryption Session anonymously via a SymEncKey.

Creating a JSON Web Token

The JSON Web Token, or JWT, is created with the JWTSecret and its JWTSecretId: it has the JWTSecretId as iss, and is signed with the JWTSecret with the HS256 algorithm.

Its payload is:

Name	Type	Use	Description
`iss`	`string`	Always	"Issuer" : the `JWTSecretId`
`iat`	`number`	Always	"Issued at" : timestamp (in seconds) of the JWT creation. If `exp` is not set, the JWT expires 10 min after creation.
`exp?`	`number`	Always	"Expire" : timestamp (in seconds) of when the JWT will expire. If not set, the JWT expires 10 min after creation.
`jti?`	`number`	Always	"JWT ID" : unique nonce. Must never be re-used. Optional. If defined, the JWT is usable only once. If not, it is usable until its potential expiration.
`scopes?`	`Array<Permission>`	Always	List of this JWT's permissions. Optional. Must be a subset of the `JWTSecret`'s permissions. If defined, the JWT is limited to these permissions only. If not, it has all the permissions assigned to the creating `JWTSecret`.
`recipients?`	`Array<string>`	Anonymous encryption	List of `sealdIds` of recipients for whom this JWT is authorized to perform operations.
`owner?`	`string`	Anonymous encryption	Optional for retrieving recipient keys. Necessary for session creation. `sealdId` of the user who will own the created session.
`join_team?`	`boolean`	Identities	Allow the identity to join your team. Each identity can only be in one team at a time.
`connector_add?`	`{ value: connectorValue, type: 'AP' }`	Identities	Allows the addition of a custom identifier `connector` to an identity. The `value` must be of the form `${IDENTIFIER}@${APP_ID}`.
`sym_enc_keys?`	`Array<string>`	Anonymous session retrieval	Required for anonymous session retrieval. Array of IDs of the SymEncKeys that this JWT will be allowed to use to retrieve a session.

Code examples

Example of creating a JWT for signup, on your backend:

  iat: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000), // JWT valid only for 10 minutes. `Date.now()` returns the timestamp in milliseconds, this needs it in seconds.
  scopes: [3], // PERMISSION_JOIN_TEAM
  join_team: true
