A set of VAPID encoding libraries for popular languages.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SUBMIT YOUR FAVORITE LANGUAGE!
VAPID is a draft specification for providing self identification. see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-thomson-webpush-vapid/ for the latest specification.
In short, you create a JSON blob that contains some contact information about your WebPush feed, for instance:
{
"aud": "https://YourSiteHere.example",
"sub": "mailto://[email protected]",
"exp": 1457718878
}
You then convert that to a JWT encoded
withalg = "ES256". The resulting token is the Authorization header
"Bearer ..." token, the Public Key used to sign the JWT is added to
the Crypto-Key set as "p256ecdsa=..."
