Let’s talk about CSRF!

encodeSecret =

"4pE8z3PBoHjnV1AhvGk+e8h2p+ShZpOnpr8cwHmMh1w="

computeHMACSHA256(

header + "." + payload,

base64DecodeToByteArray(encodedSecret)

)

Signature Computation Pseudo-code

JWTSecret Anti-Patterns

.signWith( SignatureAlgorithm.HS256, "secret".getBytes("UTF-8") )

Short but not Sweet

String b64EncodedSecret = "Yn2kjibddFAWtnPJ2AFlL8WXmohJMCvigQggaEypa5E=";

.signWith(

SignatureAlgorithm.HS256,

b64EncodedSecret.getBytes("UTF-8")

)

You’re Doing it Wrong

String b64EncodedSecret = "Yn2kjibddFAWtnPJ2AFlL8WXmohJMCvigQggaEypa5E=";

.signWith(

SignatureAlgorithm.HS512,

TextCodec.BASE64.decode(b64EncodedSecret)

)

Supersize that Secret!
