> A warrior's seal is recognized anywhere — but only if it cannot be forged.

JWT authentication middleware and token lifecycle management for the Einherjar framework.
Supports HMAC-SHA256 (HS256), RSA-SHA256 (RS256), and ECDSA (ES256/ES384/ES512).

## API

| Symbol | Kind | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `Verifier` | interface | Validates JWT strings |
| `Signer` | interface | Extends `Verifier`; also signs tokens |
| `NewHMACSigner(secret)` | func | HS256 signer |
| `NewRSASigner(key)` | func | RS256 signer |
| `NewRSASignerFromPEM(pem)` | func | RS256 signer from PKCS#8/PKCS#1 PEM |
| `NewRSAPublicKeyVerifier(key)` | func | RS256 verifier (verify-only) |
| `NewRSAPublicKeyVerifierFromPEM(pem)` | func | RS256 verifier from PKIX/PKCS#1 PEM |
| `NewECSigner(key)` | func | ES256/384/512 signer (curve auto-detected) |
| `NewECSignerFromPEM(pem)` | func | EC signer from PKCS#8 PEM |
| `NewECPublicKeyVerifier(key)` | func | EC verifier (verify-only) |
| `NewECPublicKeyVerifierFromPEM(pem)` | func | EC verifier from PKIX PEM |
| `TokenConfig` | struct | AccessTTL, RefreshTTL, Issuer |
| `TokenPair` | struct | AccessToken, RefreshToken, ExpiresIn |
| `IssueTokenPair(signer, uid, claims, cfg)` | func | Sign access + refresh pair |
| `Blacklist` | interface | JTI revocation store (duck-typed by cache-valkey) |
| `ErrTokenRevoked` | var | Sentinel for replay-attack detection |
| `RefreshTokenPair(ctx, signer, token, bl, cfg, claims)` | func | Rotate tokens with blacklist check |
| `AuthMiddleware(logger, verifier, publicPaths)` | func | HTTP middleware — verifies Bearer token, calls `authmw.SetTokenData` |

## Wiring example — HMAC, full stack

```go
import (
    "code.nochebuena.dev/einherjar/auth-jwt"
    "code.nochebuena.dev/einherjar/auth/authmw"
    "code.nochebuena.dev/einherjar/auth/rbac"
)

signer := authjwt.NewHMACSigner([]byte(os.Getenv("JWT_SECRET")))
cfg := authjwt.TokenConfig{
    AccessTTL:  15 * time.Minute,
    RefreshTTL: 7 * 24 * time.Hour,
    Issuer:     "myapp",
}

// JWT verification runs first (global).
srv.Use(authjwt.AuthMiddleware(logger, signer, []string{"/health", "/auth/*"}))

// Enrichment and authz follow.
srv.Use(authmw.EnrichmentMiddleware(logger, userEnricher))

const ReadOrders = security.Permission(0)
srv.With(authmw.AuthzMiddleware(logger, permissions, "orders", ReadOrders)).
    Get("/orders", ordersHandler)

// Login handler issues tokens:
pair, err := authjwt.IssueTokenPair(signer, uid, customClaims, cfg)

// Refresh handler rotates tokens:
newPair, err := authjwt.RefreshTokenPair(ctx, signer, body.RefreshToken, blacklist, cfg, freshClaims)
if errors.Is(err, authjwt.ErrTokenRevoked) {
    // replay attack — return 401 and require re-login
}
```

## Verifier-only microservice (RSA)

```go
// Service that verifies tokens but never issues them.
verifier, err := authjwt.NewRSAPublicKeyVerifierFromPEM([]byte(os.Getenv("RSA_PUBLIC_KEY_PEM")))
srv.Use(authjwt.AuthMiddleware(logger, verifier, publicPaths))
```

## Environment variables

None. All configuration is passed in code.

## Install

```bash
go get code.nochebuena.dev/einherjar/auth-jwt@v1.1.2
```
