A zero-dependency .NET library implementing the full JOSE suite: JWT generation/decoding, JWE encryption, JWS signatures, and JWK key handling. It supports the complete JSON Web Algorithms set, is FIPS compliant, and is cross-tested against major JOSE libraries in other languages.

Use cases

• issue and validate jwt tokens in .net
• encrypt payloads with jwe
• sign tokens with jws algorithms
• handle json web keys jwk
• implement openid connect / oauth2 token flows
• fips-compliant jwt processing
• decode jwt tokens without dependencies

When to choose

• you need full JOSE/JWE/JWS/JWK support in .NET or .NET Core
• you want a minimal library with zero external dependencies
• FIPS compliance is required
• you need interoperability with jose4j, Nimbus-JOSE-JWT, or json-jwt
• you need cross-platform crypto including Linux/OSX ECDH support

When to avoid

• you need a full identity/authorization server rather than a token library
• your project is not on .NET
• you need opinionated JWT middleware with built-in framework integration
