💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is jose-jwk-eql from the JOSE-JWK-EQL(1) manual — the command that checks if two keys are equal. That’s literally it, bestie. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

jose jwk eql -i JWK -i JWK

🦋 OVERVIEW 🦋

jose jwk eql determines whether two keys are equal. It compares the same properties defined for use in a JWK thumbprint (RFC 7638). This means optional metadata isn’t considered for comparison. So yeah: metadata can be doing its own little thing and the equality check won’t care. 💅

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • -i JSON, --input=JSON — parse a JWK(Set) from JSON 🌈
  • -i FILE, --input=FILE — read a JWK(Set) from FILE 🍓
  • -i -, --input=- — read a JWK(Set) from standard input 👑

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

Generate a key and modify optional metadata then test equality:

$ jose jwk gen -i '{"alg":"ES256"}' -o key.jwk
$ jose fmt -j key.jwk -Od alg -o mod.jwk
$ jose jwk eql -i key.jwk -i mod.jwk
$ echo $?
0
