jwk

Set JSON Web Key

Use this method if you do not want to let Hydra generate the JWKs for you, but instead save your own.

Warning: the key is created or updated under the kid given in the request body. The {kid} path parameter exists for historical reasons only: it is ignored and not validated against the body.

A JSON Web Key (JWK) is a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data structure that represents a cryptographic key. A JWK Set is a JSON data structure that represents a set of JWKs. A JSON Web Key is identified by its set and key id. ORY Hydra uses this functionality to store cryptographic keys used for TLS and JSON Web Tokens (such as OpenID Connect ID tokens), and allows storing user-defined keys as well.

    none declared

Path parameters

setstring required

The JSON Web Key Set ID

kidstring required

JSON Web Key ID

Request body

algstring required

The "alg" (algorithm) parameter identifies the algorithm intended for use with the key. The values used should either be registered in the IANA "JSON Web Signature and Encryption Algorithms" registry established by [JWA] or be a value that contains a Collision- Resistant Name.

crvstring
dstring
dpstring
dqstring
estring
kstring
kidstring required

The "kid" (key ID) parameter is used to match a specific key. This is used, for instance, to choose among a set of keys within a JWK Set during key rollover. The structure of the "kid" value is unspecified. When "kid" values are used within a JWK Set, different keys within the JWK Set SHOULD use distinct "kid" values. (One example in which different keys might use the same "kid" value is if they have different "kty" (key type) values but are considered to be equivalent alternatives by the application using them.) The "kid" value is a case-sensitive string.

ktystring required

The "kty" (key type) parameter identifies the cryptographic algorithm family used with the key, such as "RSA" or "EC". "kty" values should either be registered in the IANA "JSON Web Key Types" registry established by [JWA] or be a value that contains a Collision- Resistant Name. The "kty" value is a case-sensitive string.

nstring
pstring
qstring
qistring
usestring required

Use ("public key use") identifies the intended use of the public key. The "use" parameter is employed to indicate whether a public key is used for encrypting data or verifying the signature on data. Values are commonly "sig" (signature) or "enc" (encryption).

xstring
x5cstring[]

The "x5c" (X.509 certificate chain) parameter contains a chain of one or more PKIX certificates [RFC5280]. The certificate chain is represented as a JSON array of certificate value strings. Each string in the array is a base64-encoded (Section 4 of [RFC4648] -- not base64url-encoded) DER [ITU.X690.1994] PKIX certificate value. The PKIX certificate containing the key value MUST be the first certificate.
