Examples

Example checksum and signature

A JWT generated using this system could look like this:

eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJjcyI6ImM4YzEwM2I3MjdhMjdiOTkxMjU5NzM3OGVlZWFhNjQxYTQ4MDBkMDhmMGEzY2MxMDA2NjQ2ZjA3ZmRhYjE4OWQifQ.o9IPdjFZ5BDXz2Y_vVsZtk5jQ3lpczFE5DtghJZ0mW0

The decoded JWT payload and header for this signature look like this:

Header:

{
  "alg": "HS256"
}

Body:

{
  "ucs": "c8c103b727a27b9912597378eeeaa641a4800d08f0a3cc1006646f07fdab189d"
}

As seen in the example, the body consists of only one parameter ucs which is the SHA-256 checksum of the request url (beginning from and including /blob). In this case, the checksum cs was created using the following input:

/blob/filesystem/de1aaf61-bc52-4c91-a679-bef2f24e3cf7?validUntil=2023-07-17T07:50:14+00:00

To compute the request the signature has to be appended to the url using the sig parameter The url (without origin) the looks like this :

/blob/filesystem/de1aaf61-bc52-4c91-a679-bef2f24e3cf7?validUntil=2023-07-17T07:50:14+00:00&sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJjcyI6ImM4YzEwM2I3MjdhMjdiOTkxMjU5NzM3OGVlZWFhNjQxYTQ4MDBkMDhmMGEzY2MxMDA2NjQ2ZjA3ZmRhYjE4OWQifQ.o9IPdjFZ5BDXz2Y_vVsZtk5jQ3lpczFE5DtghJZ0mW0

Note: This example uses an url from the relay-blob-connector-filesystem-bundle, but this doesnt make any difference while generating the signature.

Example Requests

Examples of the API is use can be found in the common-activities repository and the tests directory of the relay-blob-bundle repository.

Furthermore, below are some examples of how to implement communication with blob in php.

GET

GET can mean get a collection of items or get a single item, thus this section is separated into two subesections.

GET item

Setting:

Imagine that you have uploaded a file and got back the identifier de1aaf61-bc52-4c91-a679-bef2f24e3cf7. Therefore, you know that you can access the file using the /blob/files/de1aaf61-bc52-4c91-a679-bef2f24e3cf7 endpoint. However, you also need to specify the bucketID, creationTime, method and sig parameters. You already should know the bucketID, this is the ID of the bucket blob configured for you, lets assume this is 1248. creationTime is the creation time of the request, thus this is a timestamp of the current time. At the time of writing, it is the 17.07.2023 15:57:25, thus the current timestamp is 1689602245. method is the method you want the endpoint to perform. For GET requests, the correct method to use is GET, all other would fail.

Assuming the above mentioned setting, the url part so far would look like this:

/blob/files/de1aaf61-bc52-4c91-a679-bef2f24e3cf7?bucketID=1248&creationTime=1689602245&method=GET

This only missing parameter is sig, which represents the signature of the SHA-256 checksum ucs of the above mentioned url part. More on this can be found in the section Signature.

Before creating the signature, the SHA-256 checksum has to be created. In this case, this would be 5338afb41dc80ae0668975a9c198c8a58a43b175b84616ecc709a799da6a5982. This checksum then has to be added to a json with the key cs. This then has to be signed using the secret key, and appended to the url. The result will look something like this:

/blob/files/de1aaf61-bc52-4c91-a679-bef2f24e3cf7?bucketID=1248&creationTime=1689602245&method=GET&sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJjcyI6ImM4YzEwM2I3MjdhMjdiOTkxMjU5NzM3OGVlZWFhNjQxYTQ4MDBkMDhmMGEzY2MxMDA2NjQ2ZjA3ZmRhYjE4OWQifQ.o9IPdjFZ5BDXz2Y_vVsZtk5jQ3lpczFE5DtghJZ0mW0

Note: the signature in this case is faked, your signature will have another value, but the basic syntax will look the same.

PHP Code Example

This php example uses PHP 8.1 with composer and guzzlehttp/guzzle 7.7.0, web-token/jwt-core 2.2.11, web-token/jwt-key-mgmt 2.2.11, and web-token/jwt-signature-algorithm-hmac 2.2.11 They can be installed using composer like this:

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
composer require web-token/jwt-core
composer require web-token/jwt-key-mgmt
composer require web-token/jwt-signature-algorithm-hmac

The following script is a simple example of how to communicate with blob to GET an item. Make sure to replace the base url with your blob base url and the identitifer, bucketID and secretKey with your values.

<?php

// create guzzle client with localhost api as base url
$client = new Client([
    'base_uri' => 'http://127.0.0.1:8000',
    'timeout'  => 2.0,
]);

// define identifier, bucketID, creationTime and binary
$id = 'de1aaf61-bc52-4c91-a679-bef2f24e3cf7';
$bucketID = '1248';
$creationTime = time(); // get current timestamp using time()
$includeData = 1;

// create SHA-256 checksum of request parameters
$cs = hash('sha256', '/blob/files/'.$id.'?bucketID='.$bucketID.'&creationTime='.$creationTime.'&method=GET'.'&includeData='.$includeData);

// create payload for signature
$payload = [
    'ucs' => $cs
];

// 32 byte key required
// you should have gotten your key by your blob bucket owner
// an example key can be generated using php -r 'echo bin2hex(random_bytes(32))."\n";'
$secretKey = 'your-key'; // replace this

// create JWK
$jwk = JWKFactory::createFromSecret(
    $secretKey,
    [
        'alg' => 'HS256',
        'use' => 'sig',
    ]
);
// create algorithm manager with HS256 (HMAC with SHA-256)
$algorithmManager = new AlgorithmManager([new HS256()]);

    ]
];
// send request using the defined parameters
$response = $client->request('GET', '/blob/files/'.$id, $params);

// print response body
echo $response->getBody()."\n";

GET Collection

Setting:

Imagine that you have uploaded multiple files with the same prefix and you want to retrieve all files with this prefix. Therefore, you know that you can access the file using the /blob/files endpoint. However, you also need to specify the bucketID, creationTime, prefix, method and sig parameters. You already should know the bucketID, this is the ID of the bucket blob configured for you, lets assume this is 1248. creationTime is the creation time of the request, thus this is a timestamp of the current time. At the time of writing, it is the 17.07.2023 15:57:25, thus the current timestamp is 1689602245. prefix is the prefix you specified when uploading the files, lets assume this is myData. method is the method you want the endpoint to perform. For GET requests, this should be GET, all others would fail

Assuming the above mentioned setting, the url part so far would look like this:

/blob/files?bucketID=1248&creationTime=1689602245&prefix=myData&method=GET

This only missing parameter is sig, which represents the signature of the SHA-256 checksum cs of the above mentioned url part. More on this can be found in the section Signature.

Before creating the signature, the SHA-256 checksum has to be created. In this case, this would be 7c2bdb6f8553cccee3934864e60d79c55d447a851b064f4e989293acca890bc2. This checksum then has to be added to a json with the key cs. This then has to be signed using the secret key, and appended to the url. The result will look something like this:

/blob/files?bucketID=1248&creationTime=1689602245&prefix=myData&method=GET&sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJjcyI6ImM4YzEwM2I3MjdhMjdiOTkxMjU5NzM3OGVlZWFhNjQxYTQ4MDBkMDhmMGEzY2MxMDA2NjQ2ZjA3ZmRhYjE4OWQifQ.o9IPdjFZ5BDXz2Y_vVsZtk5jQ3lpczFE5DtghJZ0mW0

POST

CREATE item

Setting:

Imagine that you want to upload a file. Therefore, you know that you can upload a file using the /blob/files endpoint. However, you also need to specify the bucketID, creationTime, prefix, method, fileName, fileHash and sig parameters. You already should know the bucketID, this is the ID of the bucket blob configured for you, lets assume this is 1248. creationTime is the creation time of the request, thus this is a timestamp of the current time. At the time of writing, it is the 17.07.2023 15:57:25, thus the current timestamp is 1689602245. prefix is the prefix that the data is stored in. Different prefixes store different items, therefore prefixes are a way to easily group up data that belongs together. Assume that the prefix our file was created with is myData. method is the method you want the endpoint to perform. For POST requests, this should be POST, all others would fail fileName is the new file name of the file you want to rename. Assume that the new file name should be myFile.txt. fileHash is the hash of the file you want to upload. This hash has to be generated using sha256.

In this case, myFile.txt is a plaintext .txt file that has the following content:

This is my file.

Assuming the above mentioned setting, the url part so far would look like this:

/blob/files?bucketID=1248&creationTime=1689602245&prefix=myData&method=POST&fileName=myFile.txt&fileHash=c3707db513a88903c2c109c27550590c01fcb688ed9b4e1508197e0c973be0e3

This only missing parameter is sig, which represents the signature of the SHA-256 checksum cs of the above mentioned url part. More on this can be found in the section Signature. Before creating the signature, the SHA-256 checksum has to be created. In this case, this would be e1e93cc0a57b20104d124cd0df3e28c8c61f172cd7df7c2c4405b7a41bb01d2d. This checksum then has to be added to a json with the key cs. This then has to be signed using the secret key, and appended to the url. The result will look something like this:

/blob/files?bucketID=1248&creationTime=1689602245&prefix=myData&method=POST&fileName=myFile.txt&fileHash=c3707db513a88903c2c109c27550590c01fcb688ed9b4e1508197e0c973be0e3&sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJjcyI6ImM4YzEwM2I3MjdhMjdiOTkxMjU5NzM3OGVlZWFhNjQxYTQ4MDBkMDhmMGEzY2MxMDA2NjQ2ZjA3ZmRhYjE4OWQifQ.o9IPdjFZ5BDXz2Y_vVsZtk5jQ3lpczFE5DtghJZ0mW0

PATCH

PATCH item

Setting:

Imagine that you have uploaded a file and got back the identifier 4da14ef0-d552-4e27-975e-e1f3db5a0e81. Therefore, you know that you can rename the file using the /blob/files/4da14ef0-d552-4e27-975e-e1f3db5a0e81 endpoint. However, you also need to specify the bucketID, creationTime, method, fileName and sig parameters.

Different prefixes store different items, therefore prefixes are a way to easily group up data that belongs together. Assume that the prefix our file was created with is myData. method is the method you want the endpoint to perform. For PUT requests, this can only be PUT, all others would fail. fileName is the new file name of the file you want to rename. Assume that the new file name should be myNewFile.txt.

Assuming the above mentioned setting, the url part so far would look like this:

/blob/files/8183d841-4783-4a4c-9680-e8d7c22c896e?bucketID=1248&creationTime=1689602245&method=PUT&fileName=myNewFile.txt

At the time of writing, it is the 17.07.2023 15:57:25, thus the current timestamp is 1689602245. prefix is the prefix that the data is stored in. Different prefixes store different items, therefore prefixes are a way to easily group up data that belongs together. Assume that the prefix our file was created with is myData. method is the method you want the endpoint to perform. For DELETE requests, the correct method to use is DELETE, all other would fail.

Assuming the above mentioned setting, the url part so far would look like this:

/blob/files/4da14ef0-d552-4e27-975e-e1f3db5a0e81?bucketID=1248&creationTime=1689602245&prefix=myData&method=DELETE

This only missing parameter is sig, which represents the signature of the SHA-256 checksum cs of the above mentioned url part. More on this can be found in the section Signature. Before creating the signature, the SHA-256 checksum has to be created. In this case, this would be f481ec6f9b544b2f24bf7e0b9eec225e4401e26f2053cc260e5eea3448628c93. This checksum then has to be added to a json with the key cs. This then has to be signed using the secret key, and appended to the url. The result will look something like this:

/blob/files/4da14ef0-d552-4e27-975e-e1f3db5a0e81?bucketID=1248&creationTime=1689602245&method=DELETE&sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJjcyI6ImM4YzEwM2I3MjdhMjdiOTkxMjU5NzM3OGVlZWFhNjQxYTQ4MDBkMDhmMGEzY2MxMDA2NjQ2ZjA3ZmRhYjE4OWQifQ.o9IPdjFZ5BDXz2Y_vVsZtk5jQ3lpczFE5DtghJZ0mW0

Note: the signature in this case is faked, your signature will have another value, but the basic syntax will look the same.

PHP Code Example

This php example uses PHP 8.1 with composer and guzzlehttp/guzzle 7.7.0, web-token/jwt-core 2.2.11, web-token/jwt-key-mgmt 2.2.11, and web-token/jwt-signature-algorithm-hmac 2.2.11 They can be installed using composer like this:

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
composer require web-token/jwt-core
composer require web-token/jwt-key-mgmt
composer require web-token/jwt-signature-algorithm-hmac

The following script is a simple example of how to communicate with blob using DELETE. Make sure to replace the base url with your blob base url and the identitifer, bucketID and secretKey with your values.

use Jose\Component\Core\JWK;
use Jose\Component\KeyManagement\JWKFactory;
use Jose\Component\Signature\Algorithm\HS256;
use Jose\Component\Signature\JWSBuilder;
use Jose\Component\Signature\Serializer\CompactSerializer;

// create guzzle client with localhost api as base url
$client = new Client([
    'base_uri' => 'http://127.0.0.1:8000',
    'timeout'  => 2.0,
]);

// define identifier, bucketID, creationTime and binary
$id = '4da14ef0-d552-4e27-975e-e1f3db5a0e81';
$bucketID = '1248';
$creationTime = time(); // get current timestamp using time()

// create SHA-256 checksum of request parameters
$cs = hash('sha256', '/blob/files/'.$id.'?bucketID='.$bucketID.'&creationTime='.$creationTime.'&method=DELETE');

// create payload for signature
$payload = [
    'ucs' => $cs
];

// 32 byte key required
// you should have gotten your key by your blob bucket owner
// an example key can be generated using php -r 'echo bin2hex(random_bytes(32))."\n";'
$secretKey = 'your-key'; // replace this

// create JWK
$jwk = JWKFactory::createFromSecret(
    $secretKey,
    [

    ]
);
// create algorithm manager with HS256 (HMAC with SHA-256)
$algorithmManager = new AlgorithmManager([new HS256()]);
// create signature builder
$jwsBuilder = new JWSBuilder($algorithmManager);

// build jws out of payload (cs) using HS256
$jws = $jwsBuilder
    ->create()
    ->withPayload(json_encode($payload, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR))
    ->addSignature($jwk, ['alg' => 'HS256'])
    ->build();

// serialize jws

// print response body
echo $response->getBody()."\n";

DELETE collection

Setting:

Imagine that you have uploaded multiple files with the same prefix and you want to delete all files with this prefix. Therefore, you know that you can access the file using the /blob/files endpoint. However, you also need to specify the bucketID, creationTime, prefix, method and sig parameters. You already should know the bucketID, this is the ID of the bucket blob configured for you, lets assume this is 1248. creationTime is the creation time of the request, thus this is a timestamp of the current time. At the time of writing, it is the 17.07.2023 15:57:25, thus the current timestamp is 1689602245. prefix is the prefix you specified when uploading the files, lets assume this is myData. method is the method you want the endpoint to perform. For GET requests, the correct method to use is DELETE, all other would fail.

Assuming the above mentioned setting, the url part so far would look like this:

/blob/files?bucketID=1248&creationTime=1689602245&prefix=myData&method=DELETE

This only missing parameter is sig, which represents the signature of the SHA-256 checksum cs of the above mentioned url part. More on this can be found in the section Signature.

Before creating the signature, the SHA-256 checksum has to be created. In this case, this would be be675bcaed9a8116afc7d1bc0fe6ef35f669efe31e9326e49677318ae9b180cf. This checksum then has to be added to a json with the key cs. This then has to be signed using the secret key, and appended to the url. The result will look something like this:

/blob/files?bucketID=1248&creationTime=1689602245&prefix=myData&method=DELETE&sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJjcyI6ImM4YzEwM2I3MjdhMjdiOTkxMjU5NzM3OGVlZWFhNjQxYTQ4MDBkMDhmMGEzY2MxMDA2NjQ2ZjA3ZmRhYjE4OWQifQ.o9IPdjFZ5BDXz2Y_vVsZtk5jQ3lpczFE5DtghJZ0mW0
