@jsonql/security

A collection of security related tools for jsonql

This library provides

• several JWT authenticatioin methods
• CSRF token management
• Header check implementation

and a few other things

This is not for general use, because it included a lot jsonql specific features

Installation

$ npm i @jsonql/security

Node command line utility

When you install this globally, you can use the command line utility. You don't usually need to do this manually, this is build into each module that require to generate the keys (i.e. jsonql-koa)

$ jsonql-security rsa-pem

or

$ node ./node_modules/@jsonql/security/cmd.js -- rsa-pem

This will create a pair of RSA256 public / private keys in PEM format.

Or you can output that into a folder

$ jsonql-security rsa-pem --outputDir ./path/to/directory

Browser tools

This module export several different modules, when you use in node, it points to the main.js When you including the dist/jsonql-security.js in your HTML file, it will get you a whole different tool set for browser only. And it has a global namespace jsonqlSecurity.

Note to ourself

• CSRF using node-cache but we need to add a interceptor to allow developer to use the storage of their choice
• JWT token should allow to do the same thing like CSRF
• Implement check headers / Origin
