cose-rust

A Rust crate to encode and decode secured data (Signatures, Encryption or MACed) in CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) format, RFC 8152.

This crate uses the rust-openssl and rand for the cryptographic operations and the cbor-codec for the CBOR encoding/decoding.

COSE

COSE is a concise binary data format that protects the payload of the message with a set of cryptographic operations.

The COSE RFC 8152 specifies the following 6 types of COSE messages:

• cose-sign1: A digitally signed COSE message with a single signer.
• cose-sign: A digitally signed COSE message with a signers bucket.
• cose-encrypt0: An encrypted COSE message with a single recipient.
• cose-encrypt: An encrypted COSE message with a recipients bucket.
• cose-mac0: A MAC tagged COSE message with a single recipient.
• cose-encrypt: A MAC tagged COSE message with a recipients bucket.

Examples

The following examples, demonstrate how to encode and decode the basic COSE messages (cose-sign1, cose-encrypt0, cose-mac0), examples of other use cases and cose message types can be found in the respective documentation.

cose-sign1

Encode cose-sign1 message

use cose::message::CoseMessage;
use cose::keys;
use cose::algs;
use hex;

fn main() {
    let msg = b"This is the content.".to_vec();
    let kid = b"11".to_vec();

    // cose-key to encode the message
    let mut key = keys::CoseKey::new();
    key.kty(keys::EC2);
    key.alg(algs::ES512);
    key.crv(keys::P_256);
    key.x(hex::decode("bac5b11cad8f99f9c72b05cf4b9e26d244dc189f745228255a219a86d6a09eff").unwrap());
    key.y(hex::decode("20138bf82dc1b6d562be0fa54ab7804a3a64b6d72ccfed6b6fb6ed28bbfc117e").unwrap());
    key.d(hex::decode("57c92077664146e876760c9520d054aa93c3afb04e306705db6090308507b4d3").unwrap());
    key.key_ops(vec![keys::KEY_OPS_SIGN]);

    // Prepare cose-sign1 message
    let mut sign1 = CoseMessage::new_sign();
    sign1.header.alg(algs::ES512, true, false);
    sign1.header.kid(kid, true, false);
    sign1.payload(msg);
    sign1.key(&key).unwrap();

    // Generate the signature
    sign1.secure_content(None).unwrap();

    // Encode the message with the payload
    sign1.encode(true).unwrap();
}
