Overview

Verifies JWT tokens using a JWKs.

This class validates a JWT’s signature and standard claims (‘iss`, `aud`, `exp`, `nbf`, etc.) using the appropriate RSA public key selected by the JWT’s ‘kid` header. Only `RS256`-signed tokens with RSA JWKs are supported. It also supports a configurable clock skew (`leeway`) to account for minor time drift.

Examples:

decoder = Verikloak::TokenDecoder.new(
  jwks: jwks_keys,
  issuer: "https://keycloak.example.com/realms/myrealm",
  audience: "my-client-id",
  leeway: 30  # allow 30 seconds clock skew
)
payload = decoder.decode!(token)
puts payload["sub"]

Constructor Details

#initialize(jwks:, issuer:, audience:, leeway: DEFAULT_LEEWAY, options: {}) ⇒ TokenDecoder

Initializes the decoder with a JWKs and verification criteria.

Parameters:

  • jwks (Array<Hash>) —

    List of JWKs from the discovery document.

  • issuer (String) —

    Expected ‘iss` value in the token.

  • audience (String) —

    Expected ‘aud` value in the token.

  • leeway (Integer) (defaults to: DEFAULT_LEEWAY) —

    Clock skew tolerance in seconds (optional).

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Extra JWT verification options. Mirrors ruby-jwt options (e.g., :leeway, :verify_iat, :verify_expiration, :verify_not_before, :algorithms). NOTE: If both ‘leeway:` and `options` are provided, `options` takes precedence.

Instance Method Details

#decode!(token) ⇒ Hash

Decodes and verifies a JWT.

Parameters:

  • token (String) —

    The JWT string to verify.

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    The decoded payload (claims).

Raises:

  • (TokenDecoderError) —

    If verification fails. Possible error codes:

    • invalid_token

    • expired_token

    • not_yet_valid

    • invalid_issuer

    • invalid_audience

    • invalid_signature

    • unsupported_algorithm
