function createLocalJWKSet
import { createLocalJWKSet } from "https://deno.land/x/jose@v5.2.4/index.ts";

Returns a function that resolves a JWS JOSE Header to a public key object from a locally stored, or otherwise available, JSON Web Key Set.

It uses the "alg" (JWS Algorithm) Header Parameter to determine the right JWK "kty" (Key Type), then proceeds to match the JWK "kid" (Key ID) with one found in the JWS Header Parameters (if there is one) while also respecting the JWK "use" (Public Key Use) and JWK "key_ops" (Key Operations) Parameters (if they are present on the JWK).

Only a single public key must match the selection process. As shown in the example below when multiple keys get matched it is possible to opt-in to iterate over the matched keys and attempt verification in an iterative manner.

Note: The function's purpose is to resolve public keys used for verifying signatures and will not work for public encryption keys.

Type Parameters

optional
KeyLikeType extends KeyLike = KeyLike

Parameters

JSON Web Key Set formatted object.
