Signs JSON Web Token

POST 
/vedhsm/api/signjwt

Signs and returns a JSON Web Token (JWT). Because a CodeSign Protect certificate digitally signed the token, the claims in the token can be verified and trusted.

The ResultData object that is returned is a URL Safe Base-64 encoded value of the signed JWT. If this API call was unsuccessful, the value is missing. After you use a tool to convert this value to JSON, the value includes these JOSE headers:

  • typ: JWT.
  • alg: The algorithm.
  • kid: The key ID.
  • x5u: The resource for the X.509 public key of a certificate or certificate chain.

Required scope: codesignclient
