PASETO rust WASM (pasetors-wasm)

Enable the use of PASETO in the JavaScript browser with the help of WebAssembly (WASM).

_{Built with 🦀🕸 by Achmad Kurnianto}

⛰️ Background

PASETO is everything you love about JOSE (JWT, JWE, JWS) without any of the many design deficits that plague the JOSE standards. According to the paseto.io website, there is no PASETO library supported for JavaScript browsers yet. Library paseto from Filip Skokan only supports nodejs, and paseto.js from Samuel Judson from now uses deprecated versions 1 and 2 implementations of PASETO.

Luckily, there are PASETO libraries implemented with the rust programming language, which can be compiled into WebAssembly. One of them is pasetors from Johannes, which has WASM support but is not fully tested.

The creator of pasetors also lacks experience using JavaScript programming language and publishing it to the npm registry. I hope this crate will help him and improve WASM support of pasetors.

🚴 Usages

Installation

This crate will produce 2 separate npm libraries each called @achmadk/pasetors-wasm (support JavaScript browser) and @achmadk/pasetors-wasm-node (support nodejs).

yarn add @achmadk/pasetors-wasm # for browser, or
yarn add @achmadk/pasetors-wasm-node # for nodejs

Methods (WIP)

• v4.localToken.encrypt
• v4.localToken.decrypt
• v4.publicToken.sign
• v4.publicToken.verify
