PHP implementation of Signing HTTP Messages draft specification; allowing cryptographic signing and verifying of PSR-7 messages.

Features

• Sign & verify messages using HMACs
• Sign & verify messages with Asymmetric Keys:
  • RSA, DSA, EC
• Add a Digest header, or automatically add the header while signing in a single operation
• Verify a Digest header while verifying the signature

WARNING: Version 11 of this library incorporates phpseclib's ongoing work on their version 3.0 implementation. If there are any problems please log an issue, but as the library has not been stabilised or completely reviewed you are advised to proceed with caution, or remain at v10 of this library until phpseclib 3.0 is complete and the MAJOR version of this library is bumped.

Simple Usage

Add liamdennehy/http-signatures-php to your composer.json.

• A message is assumed to be a PSR-7 compatible Request or Response.
• A Context object is used to configure the signature parameters, and prepare the verifier functionality.
• The signWithDigest function witll add a Digest header and digitally sign the message in a new Signature header.

Signing a PSR-7 request $message before sending:

  use HttpSignatures\Context;

  $context = new HttpSignatures\Context([
    'keys' => ['mykey' => file_get_contents('/path/to/privatekeyfile')],
    'algorithm' => 'rsa-sha256',
    'headers' => ['(request-target)', 'Date'],
  ]);

  $context->signer()->signWithDigest($message);

Contributing

Pull Requests are welcome, as are issue reports if you encounter any problems.

Note: Due to composer dependencies for the reference implementation composer install prior to local development is only posible on PHP 7.1, or by manually removing the incompatible dependencies using the command (wrapped for readability):

  composer remove --dev \
  nyholm/psr7 nyholm/psr7-server riswallsmith/buzz \
  endframework/zend-httphandlerrunner
